Hi Valencia,

What DX says is bang-on.

We've been dealing with Harlands/CRS for more years than I care to remember - they are full of hot air and do NOT take the action they threaten.

There was a High Court case back in 2011 which put a stop to gym cases resulting in anything nasty.

Been informed that we received a letter back home, only for it to be from CRS and not X4L. I'll type up the contents on here:

(Balance now 187.49)

Dear.....

Following our initial letter, we are disappointed that your account with X4L is still in arrears and our fee has not been paid.

We would still like to reach an amicable solution to this. However, if you fail to respond to this letter, we will have no option but to commence further action to recover the monies owed. The options available to us are:

1. LEGAL ACTION

We believe that you are in breach of a legally binding contract with X4L because you have not paid your membership and our fees. We pay pursue a claim under this contract through the Courts. If we do so the following process would apply:

. We will write a formal letter explaining what we are demanding and give you a final opportunity to pay/reply.

. If this failed to settle the matter we would issue proceedings against you in the County Court

. You could then either A. Make Payment, ending the legal process or B. Dispute some, or all, of the amount owed.

. If you dispute the amount owed the Court process will continue, at the end of which the Court would make a decision on our claim.

. A strict Court imposed timescale will apply in relation to the Court process.

Were we to be successful in our claim, or if you ignore the claim, a County Court Judgement (CCJ) may be registered against you requiring to make payment. You may also be liable for our costs of pursuing legal action and interest on the amount owed.

If you then fail to pay the amount covered by the CCJ we would take the next steps required to enforce the judgement. To do this we would have to make an application to Court.

2. OUTSOURCE TO EXTERNAL AGENTS

Your account would be passed to another Collection Agency who will take further action to recover the monies owed.

You can avoid this happening if within the next 10 days you contact us blah blah.

Yours sincerely,

Nuria Manson

What do you make of this guys?

ignore

Hi Valencia.

Please take the time to read other threads here so you find the answers you need.

So many other threads tell you clearly what you need to do - IGNORE their silly threats !

So with this letter do you guys think it merits another letter to the Head Office of X4L?

so you've not been reading other threads?

Yeah I have been reading other threads, and in some circumstances I see that people receive a reply from the Head Office. I was just wondering whether it would be necessary to soon send another.

why do you think you need to repeat yourself and enter into pointless letter tennis?

what troubling you that makes you think that?

Hi Valencia,

As per my post #29, ignore the letter/demand and you've no need to reply to anyone.

No trouble at all! I just remember on occasions that the reply from X4L to other members actually ended their pursuit for the money. But as you have both advised, I will not send a letter to X4L, we'll see how it pans out
