Golds Gym Problem
I signed up for a 1 year membership back on 11/1/2008, that was supposed to expire, come up for renewal on 10/31/2009. Despite numerous attempts to cancel service in person at the gym, I was finally forced to send a certified letter to ABC Financial (who the hell are they?) in order to cancel membership that had already expired. Gold’s Gym, without my consent, put me into a month to month membership even after I told them several times that I did not want to continue my membership. On 2/10/2010 I sent a certified letter to ABC Financial per (Gold’s Gym's) request telling them I wished to cancel my membership immediately. I was billed once again on 2/28/2010 for services never agreed to or provided to me even after the receipt of the certified letter had been received by ABC Financial / Gold’s Gym. Thus far Gold’s Gym and ABC Financial have leached over $130 dollars from my account and most recently I was forced to close the account and open a new one in order to stop the automatic debts from occurring. This is a scam and there should be a class action suit filed against both ABC Financial and Gold’s Gym.

Content of Certified letter sent on 2/10/2010 ABC Financial / Gold’s Gym, 8320 Hwy 107 PO Box 6800 Sherwood, AR. 72124 I, ***** **** # ****06183 am herby giving formal notification to terminate my membership with Gold’s Gym. Why I still have a membership with Gold’s Gym is beyond my understanding as I had signed up “specifically” for a 1 year membership back in November of 2008 and it should have terminated itself at the end of October, 2009. It is now February 2010 and I am still having funds taken from my account even though I have not used the facilities for several months. At the very least I was expecting that my 1 year membership would formally “expire” and no additional funds would be taken from my account as of October 2009. I am very disappointed with the procedure that has been put in place for terminating memberships with Gold’s gym, in fact 24

    Letisha would have had to either “file a complaint with the AG 's office. She could do so at http://www.dca.ca.gov/consumer/complaints.shtml. The AG will review her complaint for free and if they find anything unconscionable or illegal in the contract, they would resolve the issue in her favor.” (Lady Lawyer, 2009) Or she could have lodged a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) “Historically, over 70% of complaints filed through BBB are resolved. In some cases, BBB mediation or arbitration may be offered to assist in resolution.” (Council BBB, 2010) Today, she should file a complaint with the AG for resolution under the new law commencing with Section 17600 of Article 9 of Chapter 1 of Part 3 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code Automatic Purchase Renewals. And she could still file a complaint with the BBB, not required for resolution, but just to give other consumers information on the unethical general business contract practices of…

    In reviewing the facts of the case, here is what we know: Mr. Juras was a student at Montana State University. He took out student loans to help pay for his tuition from the school. At the end of his time with the school, he had an outstanding balance of over $5000. Mr. Juras would later default on these loans. The school would then sell the debt to Aman Collection Services. Aman would win judgment against Mr. Juras, which he refused to pay. Mr. Juras would later move to California. A VP from Aman, called Mr. Juras before 8 am PST twice stating that if the debt was not satisfied, he would not receive his college transcript. Mr. Juras would sue Aman stating that the subsequent calls before 8 am violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The VP of Aman, Mr. Gloss stated that he forgot about the time difference when he made those calls. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt collectors are forbidden from using threatening, false, and or misleading representations in order to gain payment. Mr. Gloss threatened Mr. Juras that he would not receive his college transcript if the debt was not paid. That constitutes a threat. The phone…

    There are several reasons for termination of an agency by operation of law we are unaware why Potter terminated the company in this case by means of lack of additional information . However, given the situation, the principal (Potter) is obligated to notify the clients that the agency has terminated. This would usually be done in writing. Thus it would be prudent to send each customer a written notice via certified mail that the principal/agency has been terminated. Failure to provide notice could leave the principal liable for unauthorized acts of the agent (Aker) even though the agent has been terminated.…
