Hi /k selamat pagi

Joined gym last year around September, then i had some medical problem, had to stop until yesterday they call me threatened me to pay the 8 months balance because my name already being put into CTOS. My had because i diddnt freeze or terminate my membership plus its just some dodgy gym.

MY QUESTION IS, can they do that? I mean can they really put my name in ctos record?

NO

Don't think so but you should have froze your account.

Talk cock la... Where can so easy to put ur name to CTOS....

U have reason due to you mention "some medical problem"....

They are lying

u have a contract with them ? did you inform to quit last year september ?

Why so many people sign up for gym membership, have they never ever read any of those thread regarding gym membership. Getting in is easy , opting out is a mess.

YES THEY CAN:-

If they have an account with CTOS, yes they can file a Trade Reference. Stating that you owe them X amount of money for X number of days.
This is what most Telco do. Especially P1.

Alternatively, they can file a lawsuit against you. Then CTOS will pick it up own its own and place into their database as ongoing legal case.
The latter will cause problems for your bank loans applications in future.

Can they do that? I mean if I have a room to let, the fella didn't pay for many months, can CTOS his ass?

> sweet talk you into joining
> auto subscribe to other services behind your back
> argue say its not yours

> you tak suka, you nama masuk CTOS

This ctos thingy kinda dodgy

cannot la but if have contract can take other action to sue

That's quite extreme for gym owner if he/she has an account with CTOS.

U should have contacted the gym to freeze your account in the first place. U signed a 1 year contract, and they dont know u having health problem.

Why not? If they have a monthly amount of customers to chase for slow collections, it might be worth it to them. All they need to do is pay a monthly subscription to CTOS for an account.

Fair point.

Unsure tho

Show your proof of medical issue, if they still insist you need to pay, you can take this case to tribunal court.

nothing surprise, masuk senang bila mau keluar...hohoho.

yes, if they got pay some money to ctos

they can but it means nothing, i mean no banker is going to look at your CTOS and go, eh he didnt pay his gym membership.

but i find something silly about this, most gyms are not that hard to get out of if you have a good reason and chances are their contracts can be bought out.

i suspect the prb is more simple, ts no go gym then cook up story say medical prb

You can sue them. If got letter from the Dr saying that your unfit to workout. They cannot force you to pay for that shyt

yes they can put your name in ctos since you owe them money for certain period of time.

duh nak tipu buat apa. funny la u dude.

Update :

The gym called me, threaten me to pay the balance or take their SOLUTION by paying RM1200 and free another 1 year membership.

Should I report them to tribunal ?

you being unfit has nothing to do with you signing a contract with them. whether or not you are unfit, you are still liable to pay for the membership. end of story.

Agreed.

A contract's a contract.
You are bound by what's in the agreement.

u cant win in this case

the best u could do when u discover u are not fit with letter from doc

u can show them the cause letter for u to terminate the contract
immediately but you didnt

its time for you to read back your sign contract ... which you should have done before signing it

Did you inform the gym that you were unwell and had been prohibited by doctor to participate in strenuous activity the moment you found out about your condition?

If so, on what grounds did they rejected your request? As far as I know, most gyms would allow a temporary freeze on membership for certain unforeseen circumstances.

If you just decided to stop going, then suddenly am surprised they are charging you for it, it is entirely your fault.

wchich gym bro?

How do they threaten you ? By merely asking you to pay up what you owed them doesn't falls into 'threaten' part. They also offer you an alternative.

Sue them? Don't think so..TS bound to lose the case.
He signed contract (not got anot, he never said got, but on basis he signed a contract) but disappear without paying membership. He SHOULD have inform them in the first place. Not playing MIA then get hit with the consequences only cry this and that.

This should be common sense..inform when not able to do something. Unless he mentally retarded or a 3years old.

Put the gym name here , teach them lesson.

NY Fitness , Bukit Rimau Kota Kemuning

Yes they can put you into Trade Reference in CTOS for that amount. I kena before for rm1600, but I agreed to settle before they took legal action. The company was listed in my CTOS Trade Reference list for a year and was removed after I settled the amount.

I did ask around before, you don't want to mess around. Just pay up what you owed, because you signed the contract means you agreed to their term & conditions.

Why the gym must take the blame? If TS were to inform immediately upon knowing his health, then yes. otherwise i don't think the gym is at fault here.

TS problem. Unlike P1 where they couldn't provide service (no connection or there is connection but you can do jack with it) and you terminate in writing, etc, then when P1 want to CTOS you, you complain like I did and after 9 months with CFM, P1 and finally Consumer Tribunal with all my emails to them, finally total waiver when CFM wrote that it was unfair practice.

In your case.....susah mau lari.

Typical malaysians thinking...never my fault. Its always the other party's fault.

Until..they are the other party.

No such thing as freeze acc or terminate, see many people reply here no experience with gym membership contract, no matter what you still have to honor that 1 year period, even you dont come still need to pay, that why famous gym now ask for your cc to monthly deduct

They also got clause if you not inform them you want to quite 1 month before the contract will be auto renew, once they caught you hard to escape

I got that from them too

Yes. CTOS is a privately owned company and the listing is not regulated, anyone who pays to have access to the CTOS registry can put anyone's name in it.

However, blackmailing to put your name in CTOS, is not permissible by law.

but the problem
why u didnt freezen ur account since u have health problem?
its like water and electric bill
it will continue charge even u no using at all

You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave

Lanjiao lahanat lahabau mana yang buat macam tu?

Telcos?

why you bump a 2 year old reply?

lel.

Not me la

Ayam no realised then accidentally replied

CTOS is bull, no worry man.

Unless your finance truly suk, CTOS has no bearing on your loan/banking application.

banks will be using CTOS as well in the 2nd half of 2016:
