Planet Fitness - How to keep your money from unnecessary ACH withdraws
OK, So I joined PF because it is cheap, or so I thought, and now I owe $140 plus a $58 termination fee just to downgrade to a regular membership.
If you don't have the money in your account when PF takes it out, your bank will charge you $32, and PF will continue to take money from your account until they get it.
I owed my band $120+ dollars just because of this method PF uses. They took out money 4 times in one month. Thank fully I had the money on the fourth time. I asked them to stop and they said they couldn't so I put a stop payment on them and found out PF uses many IDs so stop payments wont work.( My bank gave me my $20 back for that little nugget.
So here is what you do. This will suck, but it will save you tons of money and it wont matter how many ID's PF uses. Get a new checking account. When doing this, you will get a different account number and routing number and your other account will no longer exist.
PF has there ways of harassing your account, and we have our ways of stopping it (regardless of how many IDs they have). It may be a pain, but it will stop the withdraws and save you money, and you can begin to pay PF the money which is owed to them on your own terms.
**** this is in no way shape or form a way to NOT pay PF the money you owe them!! You have to pay them what is owed, this strategy just stops them from taking money out of an account multiple times.***** This will affect your credit score if you don't pay!!!!

I have had the same problem with them. I have politely called them and gone into the store asking them to cancel my membership regardless of the balance they claim I owe and they refuse.
BS all you want people. Facts are facts
