In the summer of 1999 I won a free 1 week membership to Bally Total Fitness. I went to Bally's in Altamonte Springs, FL with a guest (who was also free) for the 1 week trial. After that week I never returned. A few months later I started getting phone calls and letters from Bally's regarding past due membership fees. I explained to them that I did not have a membership and I was not paying any fees. The calls stopped but the letters did not. Then I got a letter from a collection agency that stated I owed Bally's a full year membership in the amount of $1440. $1440??? For a year membership that I didn't even have? Are they insane? So I contacted the collection agency, completely outraged that they were charging me for a contract when I didn't have one and for $1440!!!! The collection agency told me they would investigate. I didn't hear from them for several months. Then I started receiving more letters from another collection agency... and this time the collection was listed on my credit report. I was furious. I contacted Bally's and the new collection agency and both companies gave me the run-around, basically telling me there was nothing they could do and that I should just pay the $1440. Now 9 yrs later I am still getting letters from collection agencies for this money.

I will never pay them a dime.
