I signed up for a 3 year membership that ENDED on Sept. 9th 2007. I DID NOT renew my membership, but because I didn't call on Sept. 9th and cancel it they've been taking money out of my account for the past 7 months. This is a rip off! This is a scam! This should be against the law! My contract ended as of Sept. 9th but they automatically renewed my contract WITHOUT my authorization because it states that in the contract; the contract ENDED! How can they get away with this? Anything in the contract should be voided once it ends. They won't refund my money they've taken from my account. I've filed complaints against them with the bank and the BBB. I don't want to spend money to take them to court.

First, and as you probably know, Bally went through bankruptcy last fall. I'm not certain, but strongly suspect that any "claim" you had against them - at the time their bankruptcy petition was granted - instantly became null and void via the bankruptcy process. Second, it's not clear from your post, but Bally (and so many other companies using credit card or other automated payment methods) does routinely insert into their contracts that the contract shall be automatically renewed unless canceled in writing. You're told how, when, and who to mail the cancellation notice to. If you were planning to cancel by phone, forget it. Anytime I cancel such an agreement, my cancellation goes IN WRITING and VIA CERTIFIED MAIL, w/RETURN RECEIPT. Bally will otherwise deny you ever called or wrote. Finally... if you feel you still have a claim, your only choice is court. Bally is huge. They don't take notice of the little bees buzzing around their heads until the law forces them to. And then be forewarned... Bally will spend tens of thousands of dollars with their attorneys to avoid returning your money - even if it's only $100. That's true, too, with most large corporations.

Don,

You sound like you work for Bally's. My guess would be that you are one of the Bally whores that works in and around Downey, CA. No one is as low and dirty as the people that work there. Riadh Hamdi is a prime example. Is he your employee?
