Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
Gym fees Financial
I'm trying to leave a health club and to leave its finance department keeps on adding on fees upon fees and it has come to the point that I have refused to pay any more.
One of the areas that have been a problem is that the company had been taking money from my account without my permission so I had placed a stop on the account and now the company would like to change me for this also. I have kept all the paper work and tried to even keep record of my phone calls, but I just do not know where I stand legally and wish not to be taken advantage of any further.
Am I now in trouble and will my credit now be ruined?

Re: Gym fees Financial
The company would never have had access to your checking account unless you gave it permission to do an automatic debit, which may have been a condition of membership. You have to read the contract very carefully, or seek the assistance of a lawyer to interpret the contract for you. Until you know precisely where you stand in relation to the contract, you won't know where you stand, legally.
