About six years ago I was in you shoes, but I got ripped off. They took my card, and said you have three days after your membership is active to cancel. When I went back to finalize my membership, they started to force me to pay for other services like the pictures, and video service. I said I wanted my money back and the Videographer said "I'm stuck" meaning I'm screwed! I went to the front desk and said I wanted my money back, and they said they couldn't if they wanted to because the money is directly sent to their corporate office.
I filed a suit, and won in small claims court, I did not sue for damages only what it cost me for the membership, and to fight this in court, and they owe me $3,000. The owner of Great Expectations in King of Prussia is a lawyer and knows that as an LLC they can simply ignore the results, and not owe a dime. Because Great Expectations operate like a fly by night, and nothing is in their name, they lease the building, and all of the equipment is either leased, or owned by a third party. I put a lean on their corporate account in Boca Ratan, Florida, and I am still waiting for results. It is amazing how these companies can ignore the law, and rip people off. If you know a lawyer who is experience in suing LLC's I would love to talk to him/her, if it's not too late, I would love to sue Great Expectations for damages now.
