When this business was about a year old, I signed up for a membership. To pay the financing, there was an automatic deduction from my checking account each month.
In scanning the list of members, I discovered that there were only 6 folks who were in my age range. Had a date with one, who turned out to be a player. None of the others responded.
Two weeks later, I met someone outside of the club and hoped for something serious. After a couple of months, I negotiated a buy-out of my contract, and sent in the requisite funds.
They did not stop the automatic deduction (even after 3 months and a couple of phone calls), and it caused my bank account to be seriously overdrawn. I put a stop-payment and sent them a demand letter for the drafted funds, plus.
Not only did they not refund the drafted funds, nor the overdraft charges, they had the nerve to send the account to a collection agency.
They managed to put my credit rating in severe jeopardy.
How's that for the Ultimate Rip-off?!!
