Bethlehem Racquetball and Fitness is a Rip Off:
I decided that I wanted to try a fitness club in July. I called around to various clubs and contacted Bethlehem Racuetball and Fitness since it was down the street from my house. They would not give rates over the phone and thus I had to make an appointment. I decided that before I committed to anything I would try the club to see how it was. They said I could take a tour and if I liked it sign up. I was also told that if I didn't like it I could cancel at anytime.
I went for it and signed up to have the monthly payments withdrawn from my checking account. I never signed a contract eventhough BR&F says I did, (but they can't seem to find it) I went for one day July 6th and returned on July 10th to tell them I was no longer interested in a membership. I thought that the 53.00 per month was a little steep and the equipment was not cleaned. They told me it was ok to cancel. I then had 53.00 deducted every month until November which totaled 265.00. (For 1 day in the club) They only stopped deducting after I closed my checking account to make them stop.
They then referred me to a collection agency which went after my credit and put a bad mark on it. They mysteriously lost all of their paperwork that said I entered into a membership.
After I refused to pay the collection agency the remaining 400.00 for a membership not used they turned it over to a lawyer who tried to collect. I then had to get a lawyer to help remove the disputed item off of my credit report.
I would advise anyone who is looking for a health and fitness club in the Lehigh Valley to seriously consider what they are getting themselves into and what a RIP OFF Bethlehem Racquetball and Fitness Club is! I would never reccomend this club to anyone and I hope that anyone considering to do business with them seriously considers that they may be the next target of this company's RIP OFF and bad business ethics.
