@tommy456 My parents pay for phone calls as i still live with them. I feel sorry for the unemployed who live on there own, it must be difficult. At least I have a back-up for extra money and support if needs be.

My agreement is a sanction agreement!... I know one day I'll be sanctioned, it's the way the system is. I'll be sanctioned for not phoning an employer or something, even though I'll have applied for 20+ jobs that week. I slated Ingeus & the Work Programme, but at least I could claim travel costs for interviews and make phone calls etc.

Recently done a Rapid-Reclaim. They changed my agreement to this: ~Write to at least 20 employers a week ~Phone at least 10 employers a week ~Visit at least 5 employers a week ~Check Uni-Jobmatch 14 times a week This totals 49 actions per week!!! My old agreement was: ~Write to 13 employers a week. NOW I HAVE TO DO 49 ACTIONS A WEEK!!! I can easily do 5 hours job search a day, because some application forms take 2 hours to complete.

Pardon the pun but... Everything will hopefully "WORK OUT"

Thanks. For the sake of £28 i may as well pay it then... I'll demand they return my card so I can at least try and use it a few times. Plus I have a good credit rating, it's not worth the hassle over £28!!!

I'm tempted to cancel my DD...They have my membership card, so I cant use any DW gym anyway... Are they really going to fight for £28? If they did then I'd get £28 in 1p coins and plonk it on the reception! lol

I could always ask for my 1 month free as promised! lol

LOL I've just noticed....As per your email!!! I sent a letter to head office! lol I sent head office my card back yesterday, so I'm waiting on a reply.

Thanks for your quick response.... My Direct Debit comes out the 1st of every month...sometimes the 2nd but very rarely... I sent DW's head office a letter to cancel my membership on 15th July, they received it on the 16th because i received this email: Hi Richard Thank you for notifying us of your wish to cancel your membership with us, I agree that 1 hour travelling is very inconvenient! As per your email 1 Months notice is required, and as such this means your final Direct Debit Payment will be requested on 1st August, allowing you access to any DW Sports Club until 31st August. After the payment has been successful made, you can cancel your Direct Debit with us. Best of luck with your relocation. Kind Regards Duty Manager DW Sports Fitness Blackpool Therefore why should i have to pay £28 for August? 1 full months notice would be the middle of August, and so I would only pay for half the month?

Also, the head office will now have my membership card. I can't use the gym because they have it. I sent them it to prove that I can't use any of there gyms. So, I've paid until the end of this month.... If they wan't to send me the membership card back then they can....I just sent it to them to prove a point that I cant use any DW due to location.... These morons want to charge me £28 when I've told them I cant get access to any DW, they e-mailed me saying I can use any DW until 31st August.....MORONS!

I joined DW Blackpool about 9 months ago... When i joined I was told that if i refer a friend I would get 1 months free membership, no ifs, no buts... My Auntie joined and i confronted DW to let them know that I'm referring a friend etc...She joined....I asked for my free month and was told it was a competition!!! From this point I felt lied too, not only that they promised me a training session and a phone call to arrange one...nothing!... I feel that DW are only interested in creating memberships, and will do anything, even lie to get you to join! So, after 6 months i cancelled my membership. Silly me re-joined a month later as i missed the gym, it's a great gym...Just the staff are horrible! I've cancelled my membership again and given my months notice....I'll be moving to Norwich so the closest DW's are Lincoln and Cambridge which are over 1 hours drive away. DW emailed me and said they'd take next months £28 so i can still use the gym untill the end of next month. I've sent them my membership card in the post and explained I can't use the gym because I'm moving to Norwich next week, and I'd be paying £28 for nothing! If I cancel my direct debit....Will DW get debt collectors involved for £28??? Is it worth there hassle just for £28??? I'm out of my 6 month contract, and I've paid until the end of this month....

4 Interviews in just over 1 week... 1 work trial in February... Passed a telephone Interview, so awaiting Interview with Manager. This month has been a great one!!! Looking forward to escaping Ingeus... I might make a film on it, 'Escape from Ingeus'....Sounds as good as the alcatraz one hey...

Well, when I got a got last March I was contacted by the head office...Basically to check how i was £££££ doing, and if i was still working lol... Your Advisor will probably keep a check on you. Especially when you've been in a job for nearly 6 months. They will want you to hit 6 months, so they can claim the golden ticket (£££££££££££££££££££)

Just like Tesco, every little helps! lol

Advisors are paid a set wage. Advisors who hit targets gain brownie points and can get a pay rise. Bonuses aren't given to individual Advisors... Normally if you leave a job, you will be referred back to your previous Advisor.
