ABC Crunch Fitness Fraudulent Recurring Credit Card Charges! Bradenton Florida

I used my credit card to obtain gym membership and the manager requested that I keep it on file for monthly recurring charges.  In compliance with my gym contract, I provided written notice more than 10 days in advance via a letter mailed by the postal service and electronically via email.  I was shocked to see recurring charges on my account after I followed cancellation procedures outlined in my contract.  When I saw the charges continued after two forms of written notice, I contacted the telephone number associated with the charges on my statement. I reached ABC Crunch Fitness at 888-827-9262 and spoke with Cheryl about the Unauthorized CHARGES to my account.  She informed me that my efforts to cancel the membership were inadequate and that I would need to present myself in person to the gym site in order to fill out their cancellation form.  This is a SHADY Business practice. It reflects poorly on the company and is unsafe for consumers.  I may have to cancel my credit card just to insure that charges don't continue to accrue. BEWARE! Don't leave your credit card on file with this company!!
