Todd,
I did not provide the gym with a voided cheque. I wrote a cheque for 4 months worth of membership fees ($99), and that's it.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a cheque for $99 can only be used to obtain $99 from my account, right? Is it not illegal to use the account information written on a $99 cheque to access the account afterwards for more funds(which is what I suspect may have happened)?
The point is, I do not recall signing anything authorizing the gym to access my account. The contract was amended for a period of 4 months, a cheque was written for that amount, and that's it.
Let's not forget that I also cancelled my membership in writing. It just so happens that the gym can not produce the cancellation, nor their copy of the original contract. If they take money from me, are they not responsible for also proving that I am a member of their gym under contractual agreement?
It's also somewhat amusing (although still very frustrating) that they are still trying to withdraw money from my account, despite my recent dealings with them and "Mr Y"'s recent "cancellation" of my membership... :rolleyes
Moe.
P.S. Thanks to everyone for your input! I started this thread to solicit opinions and advice, and then to weigh my options in dealing with this situation. Your comments, suggestions (and yes, even criticisms) have all been well recieved, and will no doubt prove to be invaluable in my forumulation of how to ultimately deal with this situation.
