I just joined Ballys last night again after several years, but used the internet. I paid in full as I alway had, but low and behold, there was an unpaid balance of $1,200!!! I was completely shocked and tried to call the company that night. No success, waited until the next day and the only way I could talk to anyone was by trying to cancel my membership.
The explaination I was given was this: "Oh, you dont have to worry about that. That is the balance that you would have if you had stayed with us" .....???? What???!!! Let me see, 99 dollars a year for five years, does not add up to over a thousand dollars! I am cancelling my membership for good!
