When [redacted] called, he was explained the cancellation process and that a phone call was, unfortunately, not an acceptable method of cancellationHe was given several options to cancel, including authorizing someone in the area to cancel the membership on his behalf, but [redacted] was not happy with being unable to cancel online or over the phone [redacted] then said he would cancel the credit card on file and was informed that if he were to do so, he would still continue to accumulate a balance until he cancelled his membership as, technically, it would still be activeHe was never told he would be sent to debt collections As a courtesy, his membership has been cancelled effective immediately Per the membership agreement: Termination of Membership and Monthly Billing: You agree not to cancel your membership during the termAfter the completion of your term, you will continue as a member from month to month at the then current ratesAfter the initial term, you may cancel your membership on the following basis (Due to the Club’s monthly billing cycle, a minimum of thirty (30) days notice from your desired termination date is requiredYou must come to the club and sign a cancellation form or send a written certified letter to the club and surrender your membership card) Thank you, Planet Fitness Connecticut Management

Thank you for reaching out to me for clarification of the interactions with this PF member.On 6/15/ [redacted] contacted our club and spoke with the club manager regarding his membershipAt that time he was given the option to put his membership on a medical freeze or cancel it out completely We explained to him all we would need is documentation from his medical provider to either freeze or waive the buyout fee associated with cancelling the membership prior to his month term commitment.As the member was dealing with medical issues the club manager offered to let him email her his decision rather than make a trip into the clubAs part of this conversation it was explained to him we need freeze or cancellation requests by the 10th of the month in order to pull him out of the billing on the 17thSince it was the 15th the bill for June had already been pulled from our system so it was explained he will get billed one more time regardless of which option he chooses.Via email [redacted] did request us to cancel his membership and charge the card on file for his buyout feeWe did as he asked by cancelling the membership and charging the buyout fee.Through this entire process we were polite, understanding of his current situation, and very up front about what needed to be done and the charges associatedEverything was done within the terms of his membership agreement to which he was completely fine with and agreed to when he signed up with Planet Fitness.I have attached a recording of the phone call with the club manager on 6/15/17, a copy of the email string with the member, and the original agreement signed by the member on 11/23/

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I paid these months manually online and their app reflects payment accepted (which is what I told Leo)See attached payment history from Planet Fitness' own records - I should not have to submit a sensitive bank record for information already reflecting in a flawed systemAdditionally, the response did not address that I no longer want continued payments taken out, as my one year contract is complete.Payment for April showing "Paid" as of 4/27/17Payment for October dues of $"Paid" 10/12/16Payment for December was "Paid" one month early on November 21, and then the system attempted to again debit my account on 12/17/which is where the failed payment shows Regards, [redacted] [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, the consumer must give a reason why they are rejecting the responseIf the consumer does not provide a reason the complaint will be closed Answered]

Mrs [redacted] *** claims she called the Montgomery location several times since June to inquire about a refund for an annual fee that was charged to her husbands' account on June 1, Additionally, Mrs [redacted] no longer wants to work with the current General Manager of the club on this issue because she is not satisfied with his customer service and follow through Our records indicate that Mrs [redacted] made a payment for $on June 2, 2017, one day after the annual fee was originally attempted to be drafted The original draft was rejected by the bank for insufficient funds By her own admission, Mrs [redacted] stated she forgot the annual fee was going to come out of her bank account for her husbands' membership on June 1, and she did not have enough money in the bank Mrs [redacted] called the club and made a payment on June 2, The payment that Mrs [redacted] made on June 2nd was applied to a club account with a past due balance instead of being applied to the annual fee she intended because at the time of the payment, our system did not show the bank rejected the draft Because the $payment Mrs [redacted] paid on June 2nd was applied to a club account with a past due payment, the original fee was re-run The membership agreement states: "A $service fee will be applied for each month your Monthly Membership Fee or Annual Membership Fee is returned uncollectable for reasons including, but not limited to, non-sufficient funds, expired credit cards, cancelled credit cards, overdrafts and closed accounts We recognize that Mrs [redacted] was attempting to make a payment towards the annual fee day after the automatic draft occurred, but we are not obligated to refund any dues or service fees that occur as a result of insufficient funds Because our current GM was able to research Mr***'s account with our 3rd party billing company and determine that the payment made was made on June 2nd and applied to a past due balance in the club account, we are willing to make an exception and work with Mrs***'s request As a result of our research, the desired outcome is accepted We are working with our 3rd party billing company to refund the $annual fee that was redrafted and the $service fee that was applied as a result of Mrs***'s payment being applied to a different part of her husband's account Thank you,Planet Fitness New Mexico Management

RevDex.com: I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # [redacted] . [Dear Sir, it is my opinion that customer service is a main key ingredient in making a business great. In addition, businesses have a responsibility to the people of our country, to recognize customers who have had unforeseeable tragic circumstances that prevent them from following company protocol. In these instances, I firmly believe exceptions to policyshould be considered for those of us who are genuinely trying to do the right thing. That being said, I am not using my personal tragedies to gain anything other than what I feel I am rightfully owed. It is obvious that the planet fitness membership has not been used since June of 2016. I respectfully request reconsideration regarding your policy in light of my circumstance. I have the official death certificate and will gladly send that when we can hopefully resolve this matter. Thank you Regards, [redacted] ***
