<prompt> Human: Hey everyone, so I had a membership with Gym and it was a monthly recurring payment. I was faithfully paying and going for a while until I injured myself and did not go for a year. A few months after the injury, I called and told them I wanted to cancel my membership and the guy on the other side asked for my info and after some typing told me it was done. Soon after that my debit card expired and was renewed, so I never saw any more charges and assumed I was done.A year later, quite recently, I returned and found out that I still had a recurring charge and outstanding balance of over 400!According to the GM, I cannot cancel my subscription because I have a balance nor can I change anything or even use the facilities because I have a balance.Something smells illegal but Im not quite sure. Any suggestions would deeply help!  <response>: This is the MO of gyms. A system that we the consumer support. Unfortunately you signed a contract which probably spells out the cancellation process. That process usually involves something like a certified letter. They can and do report to credit agencies. Most likely you are legally obligated to pay what you contractually agreed to. However, you can use your capitalist rights to post reviews on yelp, Google, and Facebook.
