I cannot find you in our system at all. I tried calling you to remedy the situation and left a voicemail and never heard back from you. I need your agreement number or bar-code number to help you out. Also, it would help if you follow our cancellation policy and provide
written cancellation notice to the gym. This can be done via email or regular mail. To avoid this in the future

Revdex.com: I just want to make sure that there is no amount owed and that everything has been waived

Hello-
Ms*** joined the gym on on a paid in full year membership and used the facility for the first few months. She is, at the time, outside of the three day recession period to received a refund on her payment. However, we have reached out to the member via phone to
see if we might assist her in any other way
Thank you

A month ago I called the gym and explained that I would like to cancel my membership They refused to let me cancel the membership over the phone I told the woman I talked to that I was not able to come in, but she said that was the only way to shut off the direct deposit I kindly explained that I really wasn't able to come in, due to circumstances beyond my control If I could've just went in and cancelled, I would have I said I would be happy to mail, fax, or email them anything they needed -- or talk to a manager over the phone about it She put me on hold to talk to a manager When she got back on, she said I wouldn't be able to shut off the direct deposit or cancel my membership unless I came in, and there was nothing they could do about it Again, I was not able to go in at the time, or I would have
I called my bank (USAA) and explained the situation to a representativeShe recognized this shady business practice and offered to stop the payment
I have gotten

While I can appreciate Mr***' frustration and passion to vigorous refute our refusal of service, the fact is we do reserve the right to refuse service to anyone that we feel does not comply with our membership rules and guidelines. SEVERAL members voiced concerns about Mr***' etiquette and behavior during his brief use of our facility. This is and was of great concern and caused alarm in that current, long established members were voicing complaints, and it was from individuals that had tenure and had not voiced concerns or complaints in the past. Furthermore, here is specific link to a you tube video that clearly displays a fitness philosophy that is counter intuitive to our business model. ***. This decision was a management team decision and not one made by a sole individual, and it was based on observed behavior and etiquette, not rumor and innuendo. We wish Mr*** well in all his current and future endeavors

Hello ***! Sorry to hear about your cancellation issues. Looks like I haven't received your cancellation notice. That's why the membership went to collections. No worries though! I would be happy to resolve the issue for you and remove you from collections!
Please feel free to give us a call

This guest's license was accidently given to the wrong guest leaving the gym. That guest was called at home, she checked her purse and did, indeed have the incorrect license and was bringing it back to the gym the next day and picking up her correct license. This information was
relayed to Ms *** by phone that same afternoon. Ms *** called that next morning and was informed it was being returned in the evening. The license is at the gym and not retrieved yet by Ms ***. Golds Gym did immediately reimburse her for the replacement of her license before we discovered it was found. We do not feel there is anything further we can do in this matter. We regret that this mistake occurred but did all we could to recover it and it was recovered

To Whom This May Concern,
We do have a *** *** in our billing system which shows a past due balance. We do not have any record of a notice being given to our billing company at the time, which should have been sent certified letter to *** ***. *** ***
stated to our billing company that she had not submitted anything in writing. She did not have proof of move or a copy of any letter to cancel. I have attached notes of the conversation that *** *** had with our current billing company and old notes that indicate no written notice given to *** ***. Second half of the notes are from *** ***. Once we have proof of a termination request, and proof of her relocation, we would be more than happy to assist *** ***. Any questions, comments or concerns may be directed to Health Club Billing at ***. Thank you for your time
Best in health,
*** ***

I am not happy with the response because it does not address my issue I am willing to pay the months due and a return check fee but I am not willing to pay the collection fee or even discuss this matter with swift anymore I was told by your GM the other day that I can come into the club and pay dollars which includes the + dollar collection fee and I will pay to close this matter and hopefully this will be satisfactory

Revdex.com spoke with a representative from the business who confirmed that the account was cancelled, but that the last payment that was in collections was for the day noticeThe last bill date was 6/1, which apparently did not go through apparently because the credit card had been changedHe stated
that collection calls were made on 6/11, 6/15, 6/19, 6/24, 6/He stated a letter was mailed on 7/but may not have been received since they did not have the customer's updated address in their systemHe stated that the payment was received on 8/12, and the later payment was not reported to credit agencies.

Thank you for allowing me to follow up on Gold's Gym's messageThey state that they did send payment in February That was at least five months after I had cancelled my membership, and the contract (***) clearly states that I was "entitled to a refund within thirty days of all monies paid."
I am glad that they are willing to honor the refund, but I will not pay the stop check fee as they suggest since they were responsible for sending the money within thirty days (which would have been October 2011, when I still lived at the address they had on file)I moved in January to my current address, where they can send the full refund:

Once again, fabricating additional lies. Etiquette and behavior were never mentioned
ONCE in any of Gold’s Gym responses to my complaintFurthermore, I was never
informed by the Staff, Management, or *** *** (who I met with after the
banning of myself and Gene ***) that anyone ever complained; that never
happened (I already explained in its entirety what occured)My cousin Ben
*** has been a member for almost years, and his “etiquette and
behavior” are the exact same as mine (except he drops weights which I don’t do,
and is louder)Nothing has ever been said to him once by management in the
years he’s been thereThis is another reason I believe myself and Gene
*** were singled out based against on slanderous/defamatory phone call received by Mark ***
(in addition to the *** *** telling me this)As for a link to
my youtube channel, I was not aware that Gold’s Gym scans through each member’s
or potential member’s social media and if they find something they disagree with,
(violates my freedom of speech) they are in turn banned from Gold’s gymWhile
nothing done on my youtube or social media is illegal, I was not aware you can
kick people out or ban, (myself or Gene ***) for their views expressed or
statements made outside of Gold’s gymAll views or opinions expressed are
protected under the first amendment“This decision was a management team decision and not
one made by a sole individual, and it was based on observed behavior and
etiquette, not rumor and innuendo.’The
above statement is falseThat is a complete LIEI was told multiple times the
banning of myself and Gene *** was made by a sole individual, which was
based on the slanderous/defamatory
phone call received by Mark ***Since Gold’s Gym will not answer any of
my questions directly, rather create lies, dodge issues, and not respond to
specific concerns I’ve brought up; I
will no longer be using the Revdex.com as a means to seek resolution
