Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Massachusetts

question: A gym I was a member of came under new management. In May of 2010 the new management informed me that that old management had not correctly auto-debited my bank account in late 2008 and early 2009 and they wanted me to pay 265$ extra. I no longer had the paper bank statements at the time, and my bank was going to charge me an hourly rate to research the matter. Instead I decided I would rather just quit that gym. But the manager claimed that they don't cancel memberships in arrears. They have continued auto-billing my account as a monthly membership even though I no longer go to the gym, and have stated in writing and over the phone that I am no longer a member there. Can they do this? Is it fraud? I do not know what the accounting error of the former management was, but 2 years later can they just come up with an arbitrary sum and say: "you owe this much money...and you cant quit the gym until paid" Thanks for any advice
