<prompt> Human: Back in January I got a new debit and at that same time decided I didnt want to use 24 hour fitness anymore. Theyre cancelation is a major hassle so I figured I just wouldnt give them my new card info and they would cancel my account for non payment. Im not under a time contract with them or anything. They bill me the 26th of every month.In January 2018 they did not bill me since I did not give them a new card. Then they started calling me 2-3 times a day about my membership which I would ignore. I just noticed that they charged me this month and then I tracked it back to March. Ive been doing very well financially so I wasnt checking my spending very closely. Im not mad that I was dumb enough not to check. What Im mad about is they somehow got my new card information without ever getting it from me. Is this legal?Assistant: I figured I just wouldnt give them my new card info and they would cancel my account for non payment. Thats not what gyms do. They keep charging you, and then send it to collections.Your bank probably gave them the info as a convenience to you.You should cancel according to their terms for canceling. We see posts about this sort of shenanigans from gyms all the time. Gyms make it hard to disentangle yourself; and people imagine that just canceling a card or not updating the gym when their card changes will absolve them of incurring new charges.Human: My bank would give them new info without running it by me?  <response>: Its possible, yes, and is often considered a convenience feature. It might be in the fine print of your card detailsbenefits.For folks who have a lot of things on auto-payment, having a vendor be automatically provided the new information saves the user hassle of having to notify everyone of the update.
