My wife and I Got a golds Membership too and back in febuary of 2005 we were moving to florida where there are no golds gym. I told the "assistant to the assistant to the assistant mgr" that we needed to cancel our membership and why. there was no reason for my wife and i to be paying $75 a month for something we cant use. I was told this would be no problem. Well i only get my bank statements online and by the time i had moved, got all my stuff set up at our new place and then finally got internet set up, 2 months had passed. AND when i checked my statement, LO AND BEHOLD they were still taking money out of my account. so i called them. I was told that they were sorry for ther mixup and She would take care of it Personally (MAGGIE *I STILL HAVE ALL THE EMAILS WHERE THIS WAS TALKED OUT). so another month passed and guess what? They charged me yet again! so i called her back again. this time she tells me that she was sorry but she didnot get the cancellation in the computer in time for that payment to stop. i asked about a refund she told me she would submit the refund. ANOTHER month passes--- AND I GET CHARGED AGAIN!!! So i called her back YET AGAIN and she apologizes profusely and says she will take care of it personally and submit the refiund for 5months dues. SO NOW i cancel my credit card and get a new one 3 weeks later i get a check from them for about 2months worth of dues but i say to myself screw it just take it and be thankful it is over. WELL it is not over! i just got a collection letter from them saying that I OWE THEM MONEY!! When in TRUTH THEY OWE ME MONEY!!!! I have tried getting a hold of someone and spent 2 days in the runaround game only to be told finally, on friday at 7pm, a number i need to call but it will have to wait till monday cuz they are not in on the weekends :( i am VERY VERY VERY unhappy with Golds GYM and if i were you i would NEVER EVER get a membership with them. EVER!!!
