Boston Sports Clubs Sued For Collecting Membership Fees During Coronavirus Outbreak
BOSTON (CBS) - Boston Sports Clubs is being sued for continuing to collect fees despite closing its gyms last month because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Several members filed the lawsuit, claiming the company is charging them for services they can't receive right now.
Some have tried to call and cancel their memberships but the phone lines are busy.
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said she's received dozens of complaints and is working to negotiate a settlement.
Her office sent a letter to Boston Sports Clubs Monday formally demanding they fix the problem as soon as possible.
