I got this call as well. I don't owe any money to any gym aside from what I do know I owe. And this company and individual named Stephen Walters is a joke. If you're not careful Stephen Walters you're going to end up in handcuffs for harassment and fraud. And by the way, what kind of low life works in a collection company in the first place. You would have to be a scum sucking bottom feeding person to call people up and bug them when they're facing issues. Personally I'd rather work at McDonald's than take that job. Remember karma is a [***], eventually you get what's coming to you in the end. And further more all lawyers are equally a lower form of life including divorce lawyers and cheaters. Lawyers and wannabe lawyers make me vomit. Be careful Stephen Walters I'm good with laws too, you're barking up the wrong legal tree.
Gosh..I just read that comment by Angry.... I say you must be a fool. I welcome Claudia or Michelle or anyone from Stephens Walters to take me to court. lol They can only loose after the court reviews the evidence presented. After reading all your comments... this crazy collection agency..or what ever they are does not do their homework and is harrassing people not for car theft..but for a stupid GYM membership. What a friggin Joke!!!!! Just sit back and think of it...then you go to your mail box after all this hastle and you find some stupid advertisement to come join with Priemer Fittenss ...again! hahaha.. Lets get all our stories together and start a smear campain on Priemer Fitness.
I didn't get a call from Claudia, my mother received a call. I put my mother down as my emergency contact on my premier fitness membership and these [***] had the nerve to call my mother who I do not even live with. Now my family fears for me thinking that I am getting sued and will owe a lot of money.
I had a 1 year membership with premier fitness and called, spoke with a representative, faxed in my cancellation and even received a confirmation. I moved to a city where there are no premier fitness locations so I wanted to cancel. They proceeded to take funds out of my account for the next two months until I finally had to go to the bank and close my account. My bank told me the same thing, that premier fitness has a reputation for stealing money out of peoples accounts and they will not stop until you close that account.
Now after almost two years, I am getting a call from a law office with a claim # to reference.
The office is closed so I have not yet had the pleasure of ruining the life of whoever answers the phone but I cannot find ANY information on this law firm.
Does anyone have anything on these people?
Call the number and leave a message. Tell them to stop calling you, and as per the law send you a letter...make her register it . Then when you get the letter..it will say you have 5 days to pay up. Ignor it...everything is just a threat. I did that..and havent heard back from them yet..and its been over a month. I check my credit rating..and nothing has been touched. Just as a precaution I had a lawyer send them a fax..but try and not get too upset. Your reaction was the same as mine when then contacted a married sister of mine. You just need to acknowledge her calls or this Claude will hound you forever.
I just got a call from Claude Delrean on behalf of bogus Stephan Walters Laws office. I purchased for 1 year membership in full and never used. Since I am very aware of Premier's scam I cancelled my credit card 6 months into the contract because I knew they would try to process payments after 1 year. If anyone is interest in the real law you can check out the consumer's act and the gym's got it's own section...
According to the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 all gym contracts must end after one year and may only be renewed if the gym complies with certain rules, including if my membership is renewed with 30 days notification but not more than 90 days. You can exercise your rights to cancel the agreement as a result of non-disclosure(s) as described in the Consumer Protection Act, 2002.
If the Stephen Walters Office calls againg read the above statement to them as I don't think it's a real law office or else they would be very aware of the act.
I agree with you Crissy, but they get 80 to 90 percent of people to pay to protect their credit, they try to bully people, if you look online at CanLii all cases are ex-employees sueing premier f. and contractors sueing them too and premier lose 95-99percent of their cases. haha.
