Fitness Works Ask Fitness Works how they turn a $69.98 bill into $988.00 Phoenix Arizona
I was a month to month member of Fitness Works in Avondale Az.because it was close to my home and cheep..One day I noticed a public document on the front door stating they had closed this location and to use the Camelback location in the future. I found the Camelback location to far to drive and advised Fitness Worksof that. I also advised them that I no longer wanted to continue with my month to month plan, they seemed receptive. Several months went by and I received a collection letter from Paramount Acceptance P.O. Box 17317 Salt Lake City Ut. 84117 for $69.98 RE: Fitness Works account.(Approx. 11/2012) I called Paramount and explained the facts to them and at that point considered the matter closed. I never received another invoice from Fitness Works or Paramount Acceptance.
We were reviewing our credit file on 3/30/2015 and discovered that we had a collection for $988.00 against us from Swift Funds, LLC 927 Deep Valley Rd # 195 Rolling Hills Estates, Ca. 90274-3808 phone # 888-479-4384 COLLECTING FOR FITNESS WORKS.
In two and one half years I never reveived a notice, letter, phone call, email, disclosure statement, or any form of communication from FITNESS WORKS, PARAMOUNT ACCEPTANCE OR SWIFT FUNDS, LLC. It was strictly by accident that we came accross the collection for $988.00 the Swift Funds, LLC placed on our credit file without any documentation, communication or disclosure.
How did the bill increase from $69.98 to $988.00. In fact the bill went from $0.00 to $988.00 This reaks of FRAUD, unfair collection practices, and the list goes on. Total SCAMMERS.

Very suspect. On June 3rd, 2015 I called Swift Funds,LLC a collection agency for there mailing address. The man on the other end of the line would not identify himself and refused to provide the mailing address for the company. I asked him several times and he became very rude and obnoxious and stated he was under no obligation to provide the mailing address to me. He then abruptly hung the phone up. What are these people hiding, what crimes they committed.
