I requested a copy and the copy the manager gave me was 100% illegibleHe stated that it was from an old systemNone of the terms were readableWhat I've learned so far is the staff there is highly untrained and will do anything to keep more of your money and tell you what ever you want to hear to joinI also don't have a scanner to scan in a copy but a copy of their copy would literally look like a black smudge.They would be able to provide a terrible copy upon request to Revdex.comthat's what they did to meHowever I'm sure an argument will ensueTheir staff is very aggressive

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Again, Planet Fitness is unethical, frauds, cheats, and liars They never informed me to cancel membership via a certified letter When I began to speak with them on the phone, prior to March 2014, I made it clear that I needed to cancel my membership because I no longer live in the area and it made no sense to pay for a membership if it wasn't being used The Manager at the [redacted] ***, [redacted] facility informed me I had to either come to the facility and cancel in person, or write a letter and cancel my membership I am a disabled veteran with a left leg amputation and in a wheelchair I have no transportation so I had to write a letter to cancel the membership I am NOT going to pay them money because of their incompetence and unethical behavior regarding settlement of this account They have days to resolve this issue, or I am going to escalate this matter and file formal complaints for their unfair business practice with both the Texas State Attorney Generals Office - Consumer Fraud Division, and the Federal Trade Commission Frauds, and Thieves that Planet Fitness appear to be should not be permitted to operate facilities in the State of Texas Regards, [redacted]

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] The majority of PF response is falseFirst, there is no need to insult anyone about their parentingMy child is a high honors student who didn't "steal" from meThat was not the discussion that we had with PFWhen I called in February and spoke with [redacted] she told me that the GM happened to be in that day and would explain everything to them and get back to meWhen she got back to me, she told me she would refund the $payment for February, cancel the membership and I wouldn't see any payment in MarchI was fine with this because [redacted] was in fact using the membershipI made sure I asked several times if [redacted] had to go there and was told no she didn't and the membership was cancelledEverything was great! The service I received was fantasticIt wasn't until March came when I was charged $again that I became angryI also didn't yell/swear at anyone until [redacted] called me a liar and what happened in February never took placeWho wouldn't be angry? What kind of business calls their customers liars? [redacted] was extremely rude and took back everything she promised in FebruaryCompany policy is the customer has to go into the storeIf that's the case and I'm a liar, how did you manage to cancel it now like you claim? You cancelled it because my daughter went I to the store and spoke with your staff requesting to cancelShe was also told by staff that it said in big letters not to give us any type of refund that was promisedPF also hasn't responded to my complaint about operating illegally She was underage and signed up for the Black Card or whatever it's called I nor her father signed for thisPF has no legal contract which has been reported to the State of RI Regards, [redacted]

To Whom it May Concern,Attached you will see a copy of Mr [redacted] 's contract His contract states "To cancel your monthly membership and stop the billing of the monthly membership fee on the 17th of the month, the club requires written notifications by the 10th of the month delivered to the club in person or postmarked via certified mail to the club address listed above." We have yet to receive a cancellation request via certified mail, nor had he filled out a cancellation form at the front desk If Mr [redacted] has in fact cancelled his membership per his agreement terms, we would be more than happy to issue a refund All that we need is either a carbon copy of his cancellation form dated back to "the time he cancelled" or a certified receipt from the US Postal office dating back to when he cancelledPlease let us know if you need any other information or have any questions Thank you and have a great day!

We transferred a complaint to you yesterdayThe consumer emailed us indicating that the case has been resolved with the businessI’ve forwarded their response!Sorry for any confusion! Thanks, [redacted] , Trade Practice Specialist Revdex.com Serving New Hampshire

To whom this may concern:Unfortunately to be able to cancel, Mr [redacted] would have to pay the balance owed on his account, and again would have to be in person or via certified mail He himself stated, in the statement provided by you, that he was told twice the two ways to cancel, which is in person or via certified mail and that he neglected to do so In our system at the club it shows we spoke with him on January 6th, in regards to cancelling and that he was aware of how to go about discontinuing his membership His monthly dues did not start to accrue until November 2015, had he cancelled prior to, he would not have had a balance I understand he feels the contract is misleading, but, by no means do we hide anything from the members In the contract signed by Mr***, if read thoroughly, the second bullet on the membership agreement states "If you have a minimum monthly term, your account below will be billed for a minimum of months and will continue at the monthly rate above until you cancel in accordance with this agreement." I apologize for any confusion, but he did sign the contract stating that he fully understood the agreement and its terms If further questions or concerns he is more than welcome to contact the club at any time

I was told about the initial charge of $for the first year as my membership was purchased months priorI was not given any notice that they were renewing my membership for another year, I went in shortly after noticing the charge having not been to this gym in months and was told that they "do not do refunds" and that I should have cancelled if I didn't want to be chargedwell I was cancelling and have no intentions of ever going back, it is bad practice to automatically assume someone wants to enter into another contact with a businessHad this not happened I may have come back when I had the spare cash, but now I will not, I have taken my money to a much better business who does not treat their customers so poorly.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] Regards, [redacted]
