Hello there,
I have found myself in a similar situation with the Ladies Premier Fitness in Middletown OH. My sister and I were led to believe the following by an employee named Autumn:
* Our contract was for 12 months.
* We were both on one spousal contract and we therefore received a discounted membership rate.
* We could CALL AND CANCEL our contract during the next three days and it would not be activated.
Instead, Autumn signed us up for 36 months, we were on two separate contracts and now owe them two separate cancellation fees of more than $800 a piece, and we found out our memberships were NOT cancelled after we called and were told by the employee over the phone that "everything was taken care of."
At this time we have enlisted the help of an attorney and we are looking into filing a class action lawsuit against Premier Fitness because their employees (in the case of my sister and I) are guilty of misrepresenting the contract given to us. We have also written into the Middletown Journal to forewarn potential customers about this 'business'; in addition we have written a letter to the Mayor in an effort to make him aware of these unethical business practices. We are considering taking our story to local news stations.
Would you be interesting in joining forces against this company? Were you able to resolve any of your issues with this business? Any response would be most appreciated!
