    Collection agency calling me everyday BS
    Long story short I called 24 hour fitness to cancel my membership 4 months ago (train at a MMA gym now). Those crooks at 24s never canceled and said I owe, so I told them to fuk off I ain't paying you shit it's not my fault you got retards working the phones at customer service. Of course they sent my shit to collections and I now get a bs call everyday. I've called 24s twice to try any resolve the problem only to be put on hold for 5mins+ and I end up hanging up. What the fuk can I do

          I'd walk into 24 and take the manager by the throat until he fixed it or passed out personally.

          Business/people who act like that get me really offended and I very much like to do something that reminds them to think twice before fuckking with the next person.



          Or JJs suggestion ios good too,.

                Arent you supposed to instruct the bank, rather than the gym?
                In Uk thats how you can do it.....
                Anyway.. hmm.. Next time they call just say they are harassing you, record their reply.

                  A long time ago I had a bunch of things go to collections. Things don't come off your credit report for 8 years, and its really tough to get thing off ur report. So, if u have collections calling, they have already fukked up ur credit report. If its about principle then post on the 24h fitness facebook, and do whatever else u can.

                  Companies don't give a fuk about people anymore though. I bought a defective HP laptop. The thing would overheat and eventually the inside melted, but it could have burned my house down. HP knew the laptop was defective and still sold them. There was a class action lawsuit, but the plaintiffs didn't end up getting much, and because Im in Canada, I got nothing. Also, I bought a defective Carrier a/c unit and carrier replaced the part but the labor was more than a new a/c. screwed again.

                    If it's in collections, that $80 can go to $500 pretty quick, along with effing up your credit. Just get it paid, and cut your losses. Unfair shit happens sometimes. I like your fighting spirit, but what separates Clint Eastwood from some dumbass who's always in trouble for fighting is knowing when to hold em/fold em/walk away/run.

                    Next time you cancel something, ask for email confirmation. This $80 could save you thousands down the line if you know how to learn from things like this.

                    I'm speaking from experience here. I once owed Clark County over $5K, and it was 99% their fault. I still had to pay it.

                      The longer you hold off paying the better chance you will eventually be able to settle for pennies on the dollar.

                          Yeah exactly what i was thinking, you asked for no confirmation so thats some responsibility on you.

                                You mean scream like a manic (only thing that works for a guy to get something done). Don't politely ask someone or do the passive aggressive I am angry.

                                Only girls can be nice and get crap done.

                                  Yeah, good advice. A combo of Bobcat Goldthwait and Taxi Driver/Pacino gets some sort of reaction every time.

                                    I pretty sure most people knew what I meant when I said scream like a manic. Didn't mean start going off on people, but you have to be loud, angry, and aggressive when you are a guy dealing with a problem. If you're not expect men and women to walk all over you in life.

                                    Girls will charm guys and girls into their way, that crap doesn't work for a guy when dealing with a problem.
