Tonchu Martial Arts Academy Smyrna Georgia Contractual Extortion Smyrna Georgia
Grand Master Chung has an outstanding sales pitch when you enter his facility. So I sign up my child for the 4 year black belt program to the tune of $179.00 per month, for 3 visits weekly. Location is awful as far as traffic by the way. Takes about 15 minutes to turn in during rush hour traffic and longer to exit and there is very limited parking in this strip mall.
1.5 years into the program I notified the program that I would be relocating and wouldn't be able to finish out the program. Shortly thereafter the collection notices from Affiliated Acceptance Corporation started to the tune of nearly 5K. This is in addition to the 179.00 paid monthly over the 1.5 years my son was in the program. Mind you, the $179,00 covers no uniforms, gear or testing. That's extra and quite expensive.
I have contacted the Grand Master to no avail. A coward extorting money for services unrendered. If you want to put your child in a Martial Arts program, steer far away from this one unless you want your credit adversely affected if you cannot complete it. This facility shamelessly sends people into collections regardless of the circumstances. Read the fine print before you sign a contract! I was told the signed contract was for the black belt program only and was assured we could quit anytime we wanted.

I just received a phone call from Tonchu and they have contacted Affiliated Acceptance Corporation and they have now removed the charge-off from my credit file.
Thank you Tonchu for your willingness to right this wrong.
