Advance gym - Harlands/CRS/Spratt Endicott

[North101]

Hi all! Great job what you do here.

 

On February i became a member of Advance Gym, it was a monthly pay membership so i paid the first membership on cash in advance when i started at the gym and i took the introductory session. I didn't like the gym and i cancel the DD and never came back.

While after started the letters telling me that i owe 1 month, and after Harlans and CRS, now Spratt Endicott in asking for 156.49.

I sent on June a mail to the gym through the web web page and the told me that i breached terms and conditions as i did't gave one month notice.

 

Should i get an agreement and finish this? Or just ignore them?

 

Thanks in advance for your help guys!

welcome aboard.

 

 

well you've been doing good by reading around

so you probably know to ignore all the silly threat-o-grams

 

 

they cant hurt you or your credit rating.

 

 

I'd simply write them a letter

like the ones you've seen by slick132

offer 1 month payment

and debunk the unlawful penalty charges.

 

 

see what they say

Hi North and welcome to CAG

 

Have you looked at the T&C's for this gym's m/ships to see what's said about cancelling after your first visit.

 

1. Where is this gym located.

 

2. Where did you actually sign up, in the gym or online.

 

3. Were you given any T&C's when you signed up.

 

Ignore Spratts for now until we know more. Stay OFF the phone completely.

The gym is in Reading. I sign up on the gym, i cant remember about T@C signed but probably i did. T@c say that you can cancel a suscription in the first 14 days, but i dint, anyway was not a minimum of payments stated as was a monthly membership

Hi North,

 

I sign up on the gym

 

I assume you meant you signed up IN the gym but please confirm. Whether you meant IN or ON in your sentence could make a big difference.

 

Are you sure you signed up to a monthly membership with no minimum 6, 11 or 12 month agreement ?

 

If you were definitely in a month-by-month agreement with no minimum term, then use one of my letters to offer Harlands 1 months fee for the notice that you should have given. As DX says above, there are many examples you can find here.

 

If you can find the T&C's, copy agreement or copy Bank DD Mandate, these will help you determine if you were committed to a minimum period of m/ship or not.

IN the gym, sorry. Yes, sure that was a month-by-month. I'll do as you say an offer a one month payment. Thanks for your help i will let you kbow how it goes.

Hi North,

 

You could adapt this letter - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?464998-Xercise4less-crs-spratt-edicott-once-again&p=4815303&viewfull=1#post4815303

 

Change it to reflect that your case is about a month by month agreement.

 

Post a draft here for checking before you send it, if you want. And get a free Certificate of Posting from the PO when you post the letter.
