They don't have to take you to court at all, they will just send your bills to collections and nuke your credit score.

- javajosh 2y agoYes, but you can challenge the bill. Otherwise anyone could send anyone to collections for anything.
- Incipient 2y agoI feel like challenging the bill and fixing your credit score would be much harder than jitsu cancelling the thing in thy first place?
- trillic 2y agoIt’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.
- pas 2y agohow? do you have some paper trail of attempts to cancel?
- javajosh 2y agoI imagine that would do. I've never done it but I suspect there is a dispute process, even if it is corrupt (for example, administered by the collections agency).
- anonzzzies 2y agoAlways wondered why there are no large scale protests against credit score. I wouldn't live in a country where corporations got such power. Not entirely sure why there is not more outrage about it; it doesn't benefit anyone but big corporations, so why does the average or even any citizen (rich people just probably pay their cable or gym even if they don't want to, but it's not benefitting them either?) just take it? It's a debilitating thing which china happily copied from you and 'improved' on.
- octacat 2y agoA lot of things in USA benefit nobody but -big- corpos, it is kinda "by design". In many countries, if one gym is annoying and doing weird things, you move to another one the next month. But when all the gyms are owned by the same company or two, they can go away with such behaviour. We can see it in this article too.
