Hey guys,

 

reading the forum

 

I sent them a letter stating I was unaware of the 30 days notices,

I did give a verbal notice but was unaware of the written notifications.

 

I was passed my contracted 12 months period

I thought I can just cancel.

And willing to to pay the £9.99 but not the £171.45 (ish) they are asking for.

 

I got the below letter back.

 

I am now getting phone calls.

And just ignoring them.

 

Should I just keep ignoring them or do something?

Hi PB and welcome to CAG

 

1. When did you join.

 

2. When did you give verbal notice to gym staff of your desire to cancel.

 

3. What were you told by the staff about cancelling the m/ship and the DD mandate.

 

4. When did your last DD get paid by your bank.

 

When we have answers, we can advise you better. But in the meantime, ignore any demands and contact from Harlands/CRS.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Thanks for the replies guys. And the welcome.

 

1. When did you join.

 

22/08/15

 

2. When did you give verbal notice to gym staff of your desire to cancel.

 

Dec 2016

I cant remember exact dates was just before Christmas or around that time.

 

When I went in and for some reason my account was already cancelled

(went to a gym not my parent gym) even thought they were taking payment.

at that time they were updating the finger print scanner.

 

They were like didnt you cancel. And I was like nope.

I said I am planning to cancel because I've moved but I'll want to use the gym now and they said yes your 12 months are long over we just need a 1 months more payment

we will reinstate your gym membership now since your still paying.

 

They open the door and they got distracted with another customer having issues with the finger print scanner and I just went to the gym assuming my last payment is the last one.

 

3. What were you told by the staff about cancelling the m/ship and the DD mandate.

 

Look above...

Maybe they were too busy to tell me about the online cancellation,

honestly if I knew it would have just taken me 2 seconds on my mobile phone.

 

I just assumed my contract is over I can just end my payment like my last gym membership.

 

4. When did your last DD get paid by your bank.

 

My last payment was on the 23/01/2017.

A payment was taken in dec and then jan.

 

I gave pretty much 2 months before cancelling my DD

 

I'm moved out from my original house so never got any notifications of missed payment.

 

The only first notification I got was an email from CRS telling me to call them and I owe the 171 (ish). And I was confused.

 

Thanks

Hi PB,

 

I suggest you write to the gym and Harlands as follows :-

 

Dear Xercise4Less and Harlands,

 

My membership at xxxxxx Gym

 

I am writing to both the gym and Harlands to avoid being further harassed by Harlands/CRS.

 

I gave the gym staff verbal notice of my wish to cancel after THEY told me my membership appeared to be already ended. This was just before Christmas 2016. I allowed DD's to be paid up to 23rd Jan 2017 and this fulfilled my obligations under the membership agreement.

 

If Xercise4Less allow Harlands/CRS to make any further demands for gym fees and/or admin fees, formal complaints will be made without further warning. County Court action for damages may also be taken to stop further demands.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Send to the gym and to Harlands by ordinary post but get a free Cert of Posting at the PO when you send them.

 

Keep us informed.

 

:-)

Hey,

 

Just got another letter from Harland saying they dont accept and to pay up. I'm away atm so got my friend to picture the letter to me.

 

Can someone advice be where I can complain? And what other actions I can take?

 

I'll be leaving my current accommodation soon and thinking about upgrading my mobile and changing numbers. I can just disappear? Is that recommended or should I keep them informed where I'm going?

make sure you inform all your other creditors mind

Hi PB,

 

Don't move home or change phone numbers and not inform Harlands/CRS. That's the worst thing you could do. You need to know what they're up to, so you can stay ahead of them !

 

Advise them of you new address so you always know what these clowns are up to, but don't give them any new phone number. An email or postal address is all you need give them.

I move a lot and I really don't want the headache of keep informing them where I am.

 

I don't have any other creditors to keep informing apart from my bank.

 

 

Never take out loans and been very good at paying everything I own and paying back my monthly installment.

Its the first time something like this has happened to me.

 

what can I do to stop it for once and for all?

 

 

I refuse to pay them the money.

The only reason I kept paying them for the whole 15 months was because of the contract.

When I moved house I only used the gym once in 6 months.

will you be able to get any further letters sent to where they will be?

if not pick an address and simply inform them to use that one.

 

 

there have been no court cases since their loss of 2012.

You must ensure that Harlands have you current address.

 

If you don't do this, you run the risk of a CCJ against because you knew nothing about it. If a Claim was issued against you at any old and "last known" address, and you failed to respond or defend, a CCJ would be granted against you "in default" of your response.

 

You just don't need that !

- Simple !! We can offer advice and support if you want to take Harlands to court. THIS would stop them in their tracks; would cost you very little initially; and when you win you get your court fees back too !

Hey, I've emailed the manager of the gym and for some reason I've been put on a new 12 months contract starting Oct 2016 in new branch of their gym. And he's investigating it further, even though I didn't miss one payment since the start of my contract. I am still getting text messages from CRS. If this doesn't sort it out then time to take them to court. Because due to their system error I've been harassed by CRS.

 

Whats the procedure? And do I need to put complaints in to trading etc? And how do I go about doing this?

 

Thanks,

I'm trying to sort this out with the manager if not I think it's time to take them to court.

Hi PB,

 

It's rare that a Harlands case is resolved by the gym manager but we can always hope !!

 

Keep us posted about the manager's input .................

Still no reply from Manager. I'm just going to email him saying he has until end of next week to deal with this or i'm going to take it higher. I had enough with text messages.

 

I cant seem to find the Thread regrading court. But how much does it cost? Will I be taking xercise4less to court of CRS?

 

Thanks

Hi PB,

 

You need to research these issues thoroughly being jumping into court too early.

 

There's no court thread as such because so few folk actually bother taking court action. They just ignore Harlands/CRS.

 

Let us know when you've given up with the gym manager and we'll take it from there.

 

Meanwhile, read as many X4Less/ Harlands/CRS threads as you can.

YUp talking to the manager was pretty useless. I'm just going to leave it now. Let them text me and send me letters. If they want to take me to court I think I have enough information to ground them.

Hi PB,

 

Ignoring them is a decent option but not as pro-active as taking Harlands and the gym to court.

 

Harlands are highly unlikely to take court action against you.

Just collecting information now. Depending on how much the annoy me I'll take them to court. Unfortunately I'l a little busy atm.Just trying to take note on when the send letters and sim.

 

I couldnt really find how much it would cost me to take them to court. But read its better to collect information then rushing in.

Just search "Small Claims Court Fees" and you'll find it costs very little to make a claim against Harlands.

 

Claiming compensation for harassment at the discretion of the court, but not exceeding £300, you should pay just £25 using the online system. Plus the Hearing Fee if Harlands let it go to court.
