What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
We are senior citizens having a place in Golf &Country Club in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County FL. We have been a member for the last ten years paying dues on time with sporadic use of the Club. Last three month, we delayed our yearly dues because the Club failed to answer our inquiry about their mishandling of our membership resignation request based on financial hardship. When we bought the house the membership was not mandatory but now it is. Without responding to our question or request for meetings, the Club hired high powered collection lawyer with demand and threat of law suits every time he wrote us with reference to FDCPA. We gave in and paid all fees, interests, late charge of $100 a month and the collection lawyers legal fee. We feel our rights were grossly violated and looking for redress. We are trying to resign but the Club gives enormous financial and emotional pressure with their clever use of the By-laws and we want to know how to deal.
