Hi,
So I have been going to Gold's gym for about 5 years and in June 2022 I ended up canceling my membership because I moved. At the end of my workout, I just went to the front desk and told them I was moving so I needed to cancel my membership. I knew the worker who did it for me because we went to high school together and had mutual friends. I asked if I needed to sign anything and he went "Nope you're all good man, have a good one" so off I went.
​
About 1.5 months ago I got a call from the gym and they told me my payments stopped going through In July. So I explained to them I canceled my membership in June. So the manager said she would have to give me a callback. I never got a callback and shrugged it off as it was handled.
​
So today I get a call from a debt collector saying that I owe them $285 for an outstanding golds membership that was sent to collections. They also said that they have had my debt for over 30 days now (this is the first time I had any contact with anybody about this besides the manager from golds). I told them I was disputing.
​
What are my options here?
