Our club is currently "negotiating" with these leeches. We own an adult entertainment facility and last year our renewal form showed a new fee for our type of venue.
Since we are no different than any other tavern/ restaurant business, we sent a check for the amount that type of business would normally pay along with a letter of explanation and stating that we were prepared to initiate a class action suit if they continued to demand an extra fee.
A few weeks ago we received a letter with a "refund" (their check) and little in explanation. We promptly returned their check ( so that we were in the clear) and since then we have not heard from them. We are not disputing a reasonable fee; just that we are in the same catagory as other bars.
The only way to deal with this type of problem is from a position of strength.
