Thanks, /s/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To : Capital One Dispute Team From : XXXX XXXX XXXX *Please respond via phone or email* Dear Capital One : I am requesting additional review, case reopening, and timely refund for two ( 2 ) unauthorized charges to my credit card account. The two case numbers are below : CASE # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$49.00} XXXX CASE # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$49.00} XXXX I submitted this gym membership cancellation on XX/XX/XXXX on the instruction of the gym management. When I requested this cancellation in person on XX/XX/XXXX, the management told me that I had to come in before XXXX to cancel the membership. I explained that I have a job that prevents me from being able to come to the gym again. I additionally explained that I would be in XXXX XXXX XXXX for the next three ( 3 )  weeks, and that I was canceling because I was moving residence. I explained that I would not be returning to the gym again. The management instructed me to email my cancellation request to XXXX. I was instructed to include my legal name, Driver License number, and phone number. I was told that the cancellation would be processed immediately because I had already paid my membership for my last month. This means that my membership was paid through XX/XX/XXXX because I canceled on XX/XX/XXXX. In the month of XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that XXXX was still charging my card. My first attempt at resolution involved calling the number associated with the charge on the account. I left four ( 4 ) voicemails, and I never received a call back. The charging company never answered the  phone, even when I called during regular business hours. Apparently, the gym is attempting to claim I signed a contract that makes canceling membership through email invalid. I never received a contract with this information, and I do not recall ever signing an agreement that would make email cancellation impossible. I would need to see a notarized copy of a wet-ink signature contract, and the gym can not provide this. I disagree completely with any and all claims by the merchant for not accepting the cancellation provided via email as was instructed by the gym management. This is the only claim I have ever submitted to Capital One, and I am disappointed at how complicated it is to get a refund of unauthorized charges. This process has absorbed an unacceptable amount of my time and effort. Please process the refund and credit my account for the amount of the two ( 2 ) unauthorized charges. Thanks, Desired Resolution : Other ( requires explanation ) Desired Outcome Return of funds with interest ( at least 27 % APR ) and publication of this complaint to XXXX and/or CFPB.gov. Thanks.

Company response to consumer: Closed with monetary relief
