LA FITNESS – Bank theft. nIn October I went to LA FItness to check out the gym while deciding what gym to join. The salesman at the Plano East club in Plano, Tx named Mark told me that in order for me to hold the rate he was offering for a future date I would have to provide him my personal information and my debit card number. I did not sign put my signature on anything, so I knew they could not draft my account. The salesman called me several times during October and November, I told him each time I did not want to join. I may when I move if I sell my house in Dallas. I heard from him the last time in November and told him NO I did not want to join. Much to my surprise while preparing my taxes in April, I looked at a bank account that I do not use only to find my account had been debited for over $400.00 by LA Fitness. I made several phone calls to LA Fitness only to get the brush off. I finally obtained a copy of the “signed”” agreements (knowing I had never put my signature on anything)

all of which were forgeries. They had forged a signature ( not even close to mine) on the “”manual agreement”” and the “”electronic agreement”” a month later. The corporate membership department was not concern about an employee forging signatures and stealing from the public. Instead they took the position it was my fault. I never worked out in their facility

I never received a thing concerning a membership from them. The first “”manager”” at corporate I spoke to gave me an email address that was bogus to send a copy of the signature on my drivers license

so they could verify it. Then she called back and told me it was not her email address

it was her supervisor and she would not be back until next week. After finding out the email did not go through
