L A Fitness Still Taking $$ From my Visa Since 2007!! I've Never Even Been There!! Liars/Theifs!! Lacey Washington

I worked next door to their temporary sales office before the Lacey L A Fitness (close by) was built. Lots of their sales folks were always telling me to join now (early - before it's even built) to save and you can cancel anytime you want before it opens. I finally gave in and paid a membership fee and gave them my Visa # to charge my monthly dues to once the fitness center opened and I started using it.

They said my membership fee would be refunded in full and my credit card wouldn't even be charged if I wanted to cancel before it opened. Well, our company ended up moving away before the club opened. The sales folks knew that I only joined because it was gonna be so close to my work, but when I found out my company was moving and wanted to cancel, no one there knew how to take care of it, so they said to come in when their boss was there (Brad) and he could do it. He wasn't there alot, but I knew who he was.

Brad and I spoke about it alot and he said he'd have to find out more about it. He said his sales people shouldn't have told me that but he'd see what he could do. I went to their website too to cancel, so I thought it was done. Then, when charges started showing up on my Visa, (my company had moved by then) I called him and was told he'd take care of it.

Then the next month, more charges and no credits. I called again, but this time the new club had opened and I got an employee there and explained my dilema. He said he'd have Brad call me. Sometime later that week he called me and was really really sorry, but said he'd get to the bottom of it. This went on a few more times and I got busy with other things.

I just noticed recently that LA Fitness is still charging dues to my credit card!! From looking at Ripoff Report, they are pretty good at this and it is a common theme in most every report! When is someone going to do something about these people?? Am I going to have to call them every month for the rest of my life?? Somebody please help here! This is ridculous and I and several others want their money back! What should I do?? Thanks!
