In XX/XX/XXXX I tried to cancel a gym membership at XXXX in XXXX XXXX because I moved out of state in XX/XX/XXXX. I followed all the instructions to cancel my membership, paid I paid a {$50.00} cancellation fee, a check for {$100.00} and {$79.00} for membership dues outstanding. All of these checks were cashed by XXXX XXXX, the financial company for XXXX XXXX. I also mailed a copy of my XXXX ID and a letter expressing my wish to cancel by certified mail as they requested. XXXX XXXX continued to send letters saying my account was past due. When I called to find out if they received my cancellation letter, they said my XXXX ID was not readable, and therefore they could not cancel my membership! In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from a collection agency called First Credit Services, saying that I owed XXXX {$1400.00}. I ignored this notice, not realizing that this would turn up on my credit report and ruin my credit rating. This company is very disreputable and I made every effort to cancel my membership. I do not know what to do at this point but strongly dispute the claim that I owe them any money at all.
