Letter from Thomas Higgins Partnership re GYM debt

[Ricky88]

I received a letter advising I owe an outstanding debt on my gym membership of £19.50 which I cancelled around 14 months ago.

 

Is it likely they will issue proceedings or should I dispute based on the sum...

 

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick welcome,

 

 

For an alleged debt of less than £20 highly unlikely to issue a CC claim.

 

 

More likely to register a default on credit reference file instead.

 

 

Write asking for unequivocal proof of any such debt, state you do not acknowledge any liability for the alleged amount owed.

moved to the gym forum

numerous threads here to read

pers I'd ignore them

 

 

DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS

 

 

and can threaten all they like

 

 

if your credit file is clear

ignore them totally

esp for £20!!

They could add a default on your file, but since it is a gym member ship debt, it is unlikely to happen. Sit tight and youll get specific advice asap. have a read around the gym forum for some ideas on your next move. Plenty of people have been in your situation.

 

Suffice to say, the DCA/solicitor cannot add a default. Only the OC can, and the time for that has long since passed.

Thanks for all the advice all - this appears to be a forum / site full of kind, helpful people!!

 

Will have a read around now

Hi Rick,

 

The letter from THP is a little odd as we rarely see them involved in gym cases. It's also very odd that penalty charges or admin fees have not been piled on top of the £19.50.

 

To enable us to consider your best action, can you say :-

 

1. What gym was this.

 

2. Was there a gym admin company involved, collecting the DD payments, etc.

 

3. Was there a minimum m/ship period (usually 12 months) and did you cancel after that minimum term was over.

 

4. Did you cancel by letter, email, by phone or in person, or did you simply cancel the DD mandate.
