Genesys National Recovery (Ladies Of America) review: Fraudulent Collection Practices 5

On September 20, 2012, I received a frantic call from my mother stating a Frank Lugo(from above company) called her stating that there was an emergency regarding me and that he needed a case number. She thought something violent had happened to me as a result. She then proceeded to call my place of employment to reach me. I was able to be reached, I then proceeded to call the number that was left for my mother. Apparently, it was Genesys National Recovery (Ladies of America) seeking to collect a debt on my gym membership. I explained to the company that I had changed debit cards because my card was lost or stolen and that I could update my information and pay for back two months and late fees. He began to then speak in a convoluted way explaining that the company would accelerate the life of my membership and I had to pay until October 2014 or else go to court and pay for court fees of $3, 213 although my back balance was roughly $60-$65. I explained to them that I was not sure what was going on, he became more convoluted and threatening. I told him I had no problem paying my back bill, but I wanted a copy of contract and written efforts of them trying to contact me. They will not and have not provided anything. They continuously threaten to sue me despite my stating that I wanted to pay my balance and a copy of my bill. I wanted written proof of back bills. They have been rude and harassing, even calling my mother to insinuate that I was in an emergency. She left work in tears and shaking because of the threatening message left. She really thought something had happened to me. This company works on behalf of Ladies of America (National Fitness) and they use the slightest infraction to extract fees via collection in an extreme manner. They scream at you on the phone and speak down to you when you simply want more information. They are taking advantage of people left and right. Please review this company. There are many complaints on the web. Ladies of America is definitely a fraudulent company and they work with this company to take you to court.
