If 'any company' is trying to make you send them money and you have notified them that you do NOT want to be a member, the following draft letter, with a copy of their bill or your "Memo" of their phone contact should do the trick.

[ [	Your Address goes here City, State Zip	] ]
			_____________ [Date goes here]
To: [ Name of the company ]
[ [ [	The address where they want you to send money.	] ] ]
To Whom It May Concern: I have been harassed by your company concerning a debt you allege I owe. You have been notified that I do not want to be a member of your club. I do not intend to use your facilities nor pay dues/maintenance fees. I am instructing you do not contact me further in connection with this alleged debt. Under the law, you may not contact me further once I have notified you not to do so. Violation of these instructions will be reported immediately to my attorney, appropriate Attorneys General, the US Federal Trade Commission, and to other appropriate officials and agencies. Sincerely, [Your signature] (Account No.)
