I really don't feel I owe them anything, is it reasonable of them to expect me to still have proof of terminating the contract when did they didn't contact me for 3 months after they didn't receive the DD payment? It seems to me they just left it some arbitrary amount of time before contacting me saying I owed them notice and arrears. Is there anyway I can say either send court proceedings within 28 days or close the case? I am going to refuse to pay but I don't want this to drag on and on, it seems fairly clear cut that they wouldn't recover thei money in court.

Words to that effect, I don't have it still but remember the rough wording

It says it was a minimum term and that it requires one months notice to terminate after the minimum term

ARC Europe wrote back to me saying that after my initial term I am required to provide one full calendar month notice in order to cancel membership and claim I need to provide proof of the phone call or letter I sent them, this will be difficult given it was 7 months ago. They have also cut the demand to £156 (from over £300) as a gesture to close the account, my one month notice plus my 'two month arrears' removing all the administration fees however this was limited to 14 days and has now passed since I was away when it arrived. However, I now also have a demad from fidelite credit management for this la fitness debt , they claim they have been 'authorised to recover the above debt which has been outstanding for some time.' Who are these people and who should I now reply to out of ARC Europe, fidelite and LA Fitness?

Hi, I am facing increasingly aggressive demands from ARC Europe for payment of £320 (now threating to take me to Northampton Court with additonal fees) for a debt with LA fitness. Despite repeated phone calls to LA Fitness stating that I do not owe them money, and calls to ARC Europe saying the same, no one is listening to me and I am now have various threats stating that the amount I owe will be stepped up should I delay any longer. My monthly payment was only £50 so am not quite sure how they've arrived at such a high figure. I signed up for a 12 month gym contract with LA fitness in the middle of Jan 2014 and paid every month of my contract when it was due, up to and including the payment at the beginning of Jan 2015, and so was a paid up member until the end of Jan 2015. I cancelled the direct debit (to stop Feb's payment being taken) and told a member of staff in the gym that I would be quitting (in December) I'm fairly sure I called the head office as well, though it is six months ago now and LA fitness claim they have no record of the call. What is the best way to respond to their demands and should I do it by post or by e-mail? Many Thanks
