I had a gym membership back in 04. Anyway, I moved and needed to cancel. They asked for a certified letter and a bill with the new address for proof. I did just that. Some time goes by and I start receiving letters for an enormous bill. They state is was because I never canceled. After weeks of going back and forth, I finally just paid the bill they were charging me for and everything was done with. Any fast forward to today....I receive a letter from a collection agency, collecting for this gym, a HUGE amount, nearly a grand. I nearly had a heart attack when I opened the letter. I have no idea where to begin or what to do. It has been so long....can somebody help...I have typed out the letter below so you guys can understand better....
