When it comes to collections, this company is a lot of bark...very little bite. They got in big big trouble with their attorney general a couple of years ago. One of their managers told me that they have instructed their collection agency not to put any of their collection accounts on the credit reports. All the collection agency does is try to collect the money owed. THEY DO NOT REPORT ON THE CREDIT REPORT. So, if you want to stop paying your monthly membership fee, they will hound you, but realistically they won't ding your credit. As for their early cancellation fee - DON'T PAY IT. IT IS A SCAM. If they hound you for their early cancellation fee, just file a complaint with the washington attorney general's office. After all, they got in big trouble back in 2007 with their cancellation fee's and chances are, if you file a complaint they will drop their cancellation fee.
