I signed up for and was using a gym membership, but I kept on getting extra charges to my bank account. I called and complained numerous times, but they couldn't figure out why it was happening. They managed to stop all payments from my account for a few months. When the payments started again, everything looked okay... BUT when I called to cancel my account, I asked for a receipt. They found that the extra payments were coming from a membership of someone with the same name as my wife! (She was pregnant at the time, and has never had a gym membership in her life). Someone had forged her signature and my initials to allow payments to come from my account. It has been over a month and they still are jerking me around. I am now concerned that my banking information may have been shared with more people, AND that my credit score could be damaged.
