Hi

 

My problem is nowhere near as bad as some of the horror stories on here, but just though I would ask before I do anything!

 

I joined a Bannatyne gym in February,

I signed up online as I had previously had a 12 month contract with them and knew the gyms were decent.

 

I only intended to go for a month

I signed up for the "1 month contract" which is £10 extra compared to the 12 month contract.

 

I went for a month then cancelled my direct debit at the end of Feb before any more payments came out and thought that was the end of it.

I had previously been a member of a different gym where this was all you had to do to cancel and (foolishly) thought it would be the same with a 1 month contract at Bannatyne's.

 

I have received a letter from Arc Europe saying I owe £57.00 for the notice period I agreed to when I joined the club.

I haven't had any other correspondence from Bannatyne's prior to this.

 

I have been on the Bannatyne website and the terms do state that you need to give 'one full calendar month's notice' when you want to leave.

 

It seems like the only way to only be a member for 1 month is to give your notice at the same time you join.

 

Just wondering if I have an argument here? It's not the end of the world if I have to pay I would just rather not!

 

Thanks in advance

Ignore ARC - They dont do court and their escalating threats are pointless.

They cant touch your CRA with a default so there is no risk to you on this one :)

 

We could do with some help from you.

A DCA is not bailiff

Safe to ignore them

 

And only the owner can do court

Not sure on this one month contract mind

Go find the link and post it here as best you can

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi Jonnya,

 

I suggest you use one of my drafts to offer to pay Harlands just 1 month's fee for the notice period you didn't give.

 

Look on other threads for one to suit - otherwise I'll find one you can use, or I'll draft a letter for your case.

Jonnya should write to Bannatynes head office and offer to pay the month's fee for the notice period.
