ASF International Unfair, Unethical Billing Practices Highlands Ranch Colorado

If you're looking at specialized schools, for yourself or your child, be careful about signing long-term contracts with the specialized schools. Let me tell you why, based on a recent unpleasant experience that I've had. Last year I took my daughter to a local martial arts school here in the Phoenix metro area where I live. I liked the school, liked the instructor and signed a contract with AKF Black Belt Academy in Phoenix without reading the terms of the contract.

Unfortunately, the contract and billing for the school are handled by ASF International, a greedy and unethical company that administers billing for martial arts schools but functions more like a sleazy collection agency than a legitimate company. When I attempted to cancel my contract because my daughter was no longer attending the school, I was told that I was "not allowed" to cancel the contract, that only ASF could cancel it. I have been going round and round with this company, but the bottom line is, they are billing me for the full term of the contract, almost $1500, and the only counter offer they have made to me is if I pay off half of that amount they will allow me to cancel the contract.

Needless to say, I will not do that. I have already filed a complaint with the Phoenix Better Business Bureau about AKF Black Belt Academy and ASF, and will be filing a complaint with the BBB of Colorado, where ASF is based. I will also contact the Colorado Attorney General's Office to file a complaint about this company. I urge anyone who has been ripped off or harassed by ASF's unethical billing practices to do the same.
