I was a member of XXXX 's XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and left the gym XX/XX/XXXX. I started receiving calls this year that I owe them a debt of over {$100.00}. I am unsure why I owe this much money on a membership that was {$20.00} a month. 
The credit collections, 'Central Credit Services ' was unable to tell me why. So I called the corporate office of XXXX, but they could n't help me either because the gym I went to ( XXXX on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in AZ ) was a franchise and it has since closed down. 
So there is nobody in the world apparently that can get me a bill so I can understand why I owe this money. I have told Central Credit Services three times now I wo n't pay wihtout a bill. Each time they call me they offer me a different reduced amount. One time they offered me to pay 50 % and I said I would when they sent me a bill ... .she said she would look into it. 
I never received a bill so when they called again I talked to a guy who said that they can not give me a bill of why I owe what I owe and that is normal and how it always is. In frustration, I told him I would pay the 50 % portion just to resolve the issue but he said he could not offer me that even though I was told last time that was an option. He told me he could only settle at 10 % off. 
Furthermore he told me that he could only settle for less if I paid all at once, otherwise I have to pay 100 %. 
I am not a person who skips on my bills ... I pay my bills and am a responsible person. I, however, find it hard to believe that somebody can collect a debt on me without a written explanation of the charges. 
They have apparently sent me several letters to my correct address, but I have seen none of these. 
I declined to pay today, as I do n't have any wiggle room in my budget this month. I offered to call back another time. He responded that was fine ... .'well then we will just continue to call you '. Although this is n't a violation of any credit laws, it was extremely unprofessional to threaten to keep bugging me. 
I do hope though that debt collecting while refusing to provide a bill is in violation of debt collecting laws.
