Gold's Gym Midland Texas - San Angelo Heaquarters
Gold's Gym - San Angelo Heaquarters would not cancel my membership because an employee had written in some contract terms. Isn't it illegal for someone to write in terms to a contract after the signers have both signed?

Sports

I joined as a member of Gold's Gym in Midland, Texas - this was in December. When I joined, I specifically asked that I be on a month-to-month contract so that I could opt out of it at any time. I signed a contract that had absolutely no terms to it, other than the December date.

In June I went into the local location and signed a notice (30 day notice as per their requirements) that I no longer wanted to be a member of their gym. I noticed that they (ABC Financial) continued to draft from my credit card. I called ABC Financial numerous times and was notified that I had never cancelled my membership, and that no matter what I would have to comply with my two-year contract. Well, I did not remember signing a two-year contract, but, like most people, I did not know where my copy of the contract was, so I just went on letting them draft out of my card, because I assumed they were an ethical business and they knew what they were doing.

Low and behold, in December after numerous local conversations with the General Manager, who told me "tough luck buddy", and with ABC Financial, I found MY COPY of the contract! There were NO dates written on the contract! I called the San Angelo TX headquarters and was told that their copy of the contract had a begin date of December and an End date of December! I told them NO!

I faxed them my copy of the contract along with a statement asking them to refund all my fees that I had paid since I knew that someone else filling in terms to a contract is at LEAST unethical, if not illegal. They have refused to do anything about this matter. No one has called me back.

I just wonder how many consumers Gold's Gym does this to? How many of us get cheated out of our hard earned money by an unethical company like Gold's who fills in contract terms AFTER a member signs it!!!

I need some legal help with this! I would like to sue the hell out of this company and I would like to also represent the (probably) many consumers who have been illegally and unethically billed because someone filled in contract terms after they (the consumer) has signed.
