      I am filing this complaint regarding a billing and communication issue with the ********************** related to my childs ************ Program at ********************On May 28, 2025, I sent an email to the **** requesting a change to my son Corbins ************ Program schedule. Specifically, I asked for his registration to be canceled for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from June 1 through June 17, while keeping him enrolled for Wednesdays and Thursdays. I also asked for confirmation that this change would not impact his registration for the ******** school year at Center School. I sent the message to three contacts listed on the ***** website: mzupokfska, dcdagnone, and ********* one responded to my message.Despite my timely outreach, I was charged the full amount on June 9. I then called the **** to discuss this, and unfortunately, the representative I spoke with was not only unhelpful but extremely rude. She refused to transfer me to a manager, made no effort to resolve the issue, and instead told me the responsibility was mine because the documents I signed at registration nearly a year ago required two weeks notice for changes. She also claimed I had contacted the wrong peopletwo allegedly not responsible for registration changes and one who no longer works there. Again, none of this was communicated to me in response to my original message, which I sent in good faith and well in advance of the requested date change.I am asking for:A clear explanation of why my email was not acknowledged or responded to.A correction to the charges applied to my account in light of my timely and reasonable request.Accountability for how this was handled on the phone, including the lack of escalation support.I tried to resolve this directly but was met with a complete lack of professionalism and responsiveness, which is why I am now filing this complaint.I am requesting that all communication regarding this matter be sent via email to: ******************

      We have spoken with this parent and did refund and reiterated the
      policy for the future for her to know how we make changes to payments and child enrollments, and what the YMCA's process
      for that is. I think we have sufficiently completed this complaint. The refund has been issued.

      Granite YMCA makes it extremely difficult to cancel a membership. There is no option to do so online, no option to do so over the phone, extremely limited absolute to contact the person responsible for cancellations, and once you do that, they require a 30 day notice of cancellation, and so will continue to bill you even though you have given notice of cancellation and are not using the services or facilities.

      It strikes me as, at the very least, an ethically dubious practice, designed to rip people off for a service they are no longer making use of.

      Mr. ******* experience delays in processing his requested cancellation as it occurred over the holidays. He has fully credited as of 1/2/23 the amount that he was charged for his membership dues.

      There are no outstanding balances due to this past member.
