Do you pay for a block of time, or do you have to cancel it...otherwise it keeps billing?
In May I paid (with cash, for god's sake) for what I thought was a one-month membership at a gym. I never got my ID card for some reason, and I never worried about it cuz I was really busy that month and didn't have time to go anyway. So I thought it was over.
I got a call from the billing company that handles all their billing and it turns out I owe a hundred dollars now, and I can't cancel till I pay it off.
This was just a local gym - the billing company is some international outfit that you can't reason with. I can't say - look I never got my card, I never even went even once...let's just call it even...
Nope these huge corporations are beasts that must be fed...they can't be reasoned with.
So - every other gym I've been at you pay for a period of time - and then you renew...this automatic billing shit I've never encountered at a gym - especially considering that I paid in cash...
