Xercise4less/CRS

[IP90]

Hi, sorry for posting this as I know there’s a lot of other threads on X4L/CRS but I think, having read a few of the threads, that my situation is slightly different. 

 

So today I received an email about an X4L membership that I had completely forgotten about it was so long ago (around January 2014 I think). 

 

The amount due is apparently £262.47 but in the email they have offered me a “deal” of 60 per cent off the balance if I contact them by the 23rd August. 

 

My my memory is pretty hazy as it was a while ago but I’m pretty sure I never cancelled anything. I lost my job around February/March 2014 and was in a bit of a mess at the time, so I didn’t have any money to pay but I think the direct debit still went out of my bank and left me in arrears which led to quite a large debt building up with my bank. 

 

Im guessing at some point they either stopped taking the direct debit or I must’ve cancelled somewhere along the line, and I’ve thought nothing else of it until I received this email today as a “final attempt to resolve this matter” whatever that means. 

 

Where do I stand? Should I take this offer just to get it over and done with? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the vague details my memory isn’t the best!

No - Dont take the offer. Nothing they can really do - 

Someone will be along soon to advise.

Ok thanks. I begrudge paying it anyway and it seems to me they’re a bit desperate to offer more than half off the balance. 

 

I forgot to mention also, at the bottom of the email it says if I can’t pay the balance in full, they will knock £2 off themselves for every £10 that I pay.

 

seems like they’re really trying to entice me into giving them money then dressing it up as them “helping me”

Thanks for the reply.

Do they really have that little power to do anything?

Hi IP and welcome to CAG

 

The demands will be from Harlands or CRS and they are just hoping you'll fall for their tactics.

 

Ignore them completely and don't reply in any way.

 

Once they realise you're not intimidated, they'll look for weaker prey.

 

Keep us posted ..............
