CRS threatening legal means- is this just threats?

[Hmu03671]

Hi guys, loving this site for information.

Apologies if I'm flogging a dead horse here as I've seen some threads about CRS and people being chased for "unpaid" gym fees.

 

I'm just looking for any information how people have got on.

 

Long story short,

I was contacted by CRS approx two years ago regarding a default £20 payment from my old gym surprise surprise excercise4less.

 

My apparent debt was now £106 after CRS fees had been added on.

 

I lettered them back saying in my opinion I had submitting my last payment on time and cancelled in writing.

 

We sent a couple of letters back and forth but as I wouldn't recognise the debt, they eventually forwarded it on to a recovery agency who I refused to engage with.

 

They sent one letter telling me they would reduce cost to £76.

 

Over a year has passed (in this time I threw out all kept correspondence) now CRS have emailed me twice , the later threatening me by contacting a named solicitor.

 

Has anyone got to to this stage?

And what's next?

 

Finally I like a good fight as much as they next guy and I'll gladly have my day in court

 

Out of interest tho if I lost how much can they legally claim from me?

 

Am I entitled to pay thousands in legal fee's?

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

Thanks

Pure threats. Plenty of other threads in this forum that has the exact same issue as you. All end the same way.

Hi Hmu and welcome to CAG

 

Please read other threads here so you see the tactics used by Harlands/CRS.

 

They may use The Zinc Group (a DCA) and then Spratt Endicott ( Harlands current pet solicitors) further down the line but they all do the same - they threaten lots but do NOTHING !!

 

Loads have folk have been where you are now - getting demands and threat that are not followed through because there's no legal basis for their demands.

 

If they really had a right to demand what they say you owe, they'd have taken you to court long ago. That's NOT going to happen.

 

Keep us informed about demands, etc but I suggest you simply IGNORE any demands, texts and calls for now.

 

Keep a log of all forms of contact from Harlands/CRS in case a claim for harassment is made.

 

Other threads will tell you all you need to know...............

Thanks for the help, yes I had zinc previously attempting to contact me, I am just surprised they have started again after a year of no contact. It is the same solicitors as you mention, I'll see what they happens next!

 

Thanks

It is moot whether these Gym and sports contracts fall foul of consumer protection legislation within their expressed and implied terms, especially around termination and break.

It appears that Harlands/CRS are dragging up any old cases they can, regardless of the individual case merits.

 

I hope we can involve Trading Standards and/or The CMA this year and expose Harlands fully as necessary.
