  1. @mh2286 - did you send the letter? did you get a response?
  2. CAB is citizens advisory bureau. Try contacting them on Monday. citizensadvice.org.uk-- 08444 111 444. Also I got a couple of contact names of people in the headoffice if this would help. I quote from another blog - "The CEO’s name is Martin Long. I do not *know* his e-mail address, but based on the other Head Office e-mail addresses, I can only guess it is mailto:martin.long at lafitness.co.uk The Executive PA is Carmel Proctor. Her e-mail address carmel.proctor at lafitness.co.uk. I had managed to speak to Carmel about the problem(s) I was having, and she was the only helpful person. The Member Relations Manager is Neil Hodgon. His e-mail address neil.hodgon at lafitness.co.uk. Please be aware that Neil ignores e-mails, evades points and lies as much as the Regional and Branch Managers at LA Fitness. My advice is to go straight to the Board and speak to Carmel. The umbrella company that own LA Fitness: midoceanpartners.com/#/home/ " Good Luck. and No like you I had no papers to look at as well
  3. I called trading standards and they directed me to CAB. CAB did address the issue however that too was more or less or a generic email reply which states that since its not an online contract i cannot cancel. However when i spoke to someone over the phone at CAB he said that misrepresentation of information is an offence and therefore i had every right to cancel my DD with notice.
  4. The trick is I told them I was either leaving the country or moving to wales (because I actually am). Hence the paragraph in your letter that states that people who move away from a 20 mile radius can cancel is missing in my letter. Again another one of their silly tricks to keep me tied to their contract
  5. Not exactly word for word although some paragraphs are just the same. Yes I am really angry and I have lost 40 pounds which now I couldnt care less about but I Do not want debt agencies behind my back sending me letters home to pay thr monthly fee. Like you I didnt tick anything myself. The instructor quickly flipped through the pages and didnt ask me to read anything. Worst Gym Ever
  6. I got the same letter today! With the Same message. Maybe they send batch mails to everyone? Let me know what you are going to do from here. Im so confused and I dont want to pay for a 12 month contract that I wont use
  7. Aww. Slick123 - Thank You soo Much. You have been great help! I will include all your thoughts on my letter.
  8. Also word of advice. Call consumer direct. I did that and they said if they do have enough people complaining they will take action! The number is 08454 04 05 06
  9. Well initially I gave excuses like I dont have my bank card. Then he was like so how can you get info i said i might have to call home then he said ah yeah I will wait for you etc and I tried lying my way out but didnt work. Then i just wanted out so since he assured me the cancellation within three months I just signed up. Big Mistake.
  10. Because I felt trapped and I just wanted to get out of there with any reason. Also he said I can cancel anytime before three months because I told him i wont be in Town and so i was intending to cancel the very next day anyway!
  11. and about the paragraphs. Sorry did it again Will change the next time over. Its just that im so annoyed and upset now Since I am a student and not earning, hence this is going to be really hard. I dont want to graduate with a debt agency at my back
  12. I never used the GYM since i signed up. I signed up on the 5th of July 2011 and wrote to them the very night to cancel my membership because I was pressurised into this and also because loads of customers were ripped off and I dont want to attend a GYM that cons people into contracts. The gym i used in Swansea which is LC2 is very good in this regard. Moreover they are a Lot bigger and cleaner. I use internet banking so i can cancel it that way.
  13. Thank You Slick123. Well by DD. But i paid 40 upfront which they also said i will get back. Should i also give them a time frame to respond? Apparently they are famous for claiming that letters weren't received. I need to do this soon since I'm leaving abroad in two weeks. and I don't want to be worrying about this while there. The only problem is although the sales guy/the guy who signed me up verbally emphasised the money back guarantee within three months there was nothing in writing. thats my concern. I signed up on a kiosk at the centre.
  14. Also read this blog blagger.com. Here someone has contacted the CEO some martin long or so and he has sorted it out. Im not sure how far this is true but worth a shot i think. I called the head office twice, the first time answered by a rude assitant the second time someone said he will look into it. His name is david maybe he can be of some help - at least he was polite. which gym did you sign up in?
  15. Hi I am in the exact same situation as you are. I just signed up yesterday and i am going abroad mid July however I was literally forced into signing up in that kiosk. I called the Croydon Branch where i signed up and the manager said she will deal with it Monday since the person in charge is on holiday. Having read reviews i know this is a blatant lie. Before anything I told the person who signed me up that i will only be here for less than 2.5 months. He said i can sign up for a 12 month contract and cancel it within 3 months and get my money back. Tomorrow I am going to the office to return everything they gave such as a bag/key/card and demand mine being cancelled. I would have given the money up for one month at least if he genuinely told me that they dont do anything less than a 12 month contract instead of saying that i get my money back. This is ridiculous and I would really appreciate someone who I can actually get advice from. Let me know how your case goes.
