I received a letter from celebrity fitness to my hometown address stating that I owe them 5 months of fees and also late payment. The thing is, I never had any account with them. I went last year for trial and I surrendered my ic to them as a deposit for trial. I know that's kind of stupid but I should have known better. I filled up a survey for them too but I never signed any contract staying that I'm gonna join it. Soon after that, the consultant kept calling asking me to join and that there's a promotion.

How do I go about this? It's obviously a scam and they threaten to bring me to court? Should I sue them instead?

Thanks for the prompt reply. So it's better if I do it through the phone than in person?

Don't think I did. Because I was with a friend and he said he didn't sign anything either. Just a form to fill. Sort of like a survey of your salary and stuff you're interested in. What if my signature was forged. But then again he had my IC..

Ok. Latest update. Their account manager said that I can treat the letter as nothing and that it was their mistake. No apology nothing. I guess their image is already tainted in the first place so no point taking care of it.

Forgotten to reply to this thread lol.

No I didn't record anything. I asked my family friend lawyer to help me settle the case. Took them around 2 days I think to finally abandon the intention of sueing me. No apology nothing. Really looks like cf really doesn't care about its name. My lawyer said that the only thing the cf manager told him was that 'ill send you an email by tomorrow morning as a proof that you can discard this matter'
