We never authorize payments from our bank accounts (we use CC for recurring charges like the gym), but we do use checks for things like our mortgage. Can they pull the account info off the check and hit our account without our authorization?
That is BS.Yeah - maybe I wasn't clear: once you authorize a business to draw from your account, you can't, nor can your bank stop them.
In the example of 'the gym won't stop taking payments' this would clearly apply.I wish you'd tell my bank that!
Power?:smt043 I don't know what the agreement is that you signed, ...what does it say, what are you obligated to do?Woody, why does it seem gyms have so much power over it's customers? Are we somehow giving up our rights in the small print or something?

I'm wondering, what is the lesson you learned.Heck yeah power man. Like is being eluded to, my bank told me they would not stop payment to the gym. I had to work out a deal with the gym to stop the billing! I called BS and told the bank to kiss it, pulled my money, and closed my account! haha Then I said go ahead and pay them next month!
Then the manager came out and asked me if we could work out something so I didn't leave the bank. I told him hell no, you didn't protect me, so see ya.
The contract I signed with the gym didn't specify as I didn't fully read the 10 page (exaggerated) contract. But I actually paid for the years membership in cash, in full! The manager said he needed a check to hold as security. haha I was dumb and gave him one. Apparently there was a automatic renewal agreement in the clause, and in order to stop the membership, I had to stop it in writing 3 months in advance! I learned all this after the fact.
I learned me a good lesson. Hence why I did the research and found out what I did. SO, I don't, won't do that again......hopefully. haha
