My membership was automatically billed to my debit card. About half way into my year membership one of my debit cards was stolen and the card was removed from the account. I had made sure the money was in my account to pay my membership fees.
However, I failed to realize that due to the card being deactivated they could not take the money out. (We had two different cards for the one account).
So within one month, ABC financial started calling me several times EVERY DAY and sending me letters saying I owe $800 something. I refused to pay it, and informed them that I would pay for the remaining balance of my contract which was around $300 but I would not pay the over $500 in fees.
They sent the account to a collection agency, which has now been calling me every day. I highly suggest not using this health club. They are a huge ripoff and I am going to end up paying over $1,000 dollars when I've only used the facility maybe 10 times.

While you're at ftc.gov report these scammers! Also call your bank and dispute the charges, they will get your money back for you and block them from taking more. Don't bother trying to deal with anyone at ABC financial, the only reason the post their spam responses at rip-off report is to give the appearance that they care. They don't. They sure weren't contacting us before reporting here, nor were they trying to help us when we called their company directly.
If enough of us report them to our states and ftc.gov they'll be investigated by the federal government and, once someone actually looks into their deceptive business practices they'll be shut down. Once they're investigated getting them off credit reports will be a cinch.
