Well thankyou stu 007 , I have just written a 7 page letter , and I think you must have witnessed it aswell , because you have worded it bang on , which I'm not the greatest, the thing that I found funny is the supposed manager or employ never said a word to us , it was this massive bouncer that never stopped shouting , I'm a mellow person and just denied it all , but it was tho he wanted us to react to his actions , he knew we had been drinking , but that's why I did not want to get involved in any hassle because we would always be the ones liable that started it all , I think he was surprised that two blokes never gave him a massive argument and started shouting at him , you see these situations all the time , and I know it's not irrelevant but the reason I was in London as it was the same date my wife died of cancer 3 years ago , so was sad and didn't feel that great , but couldn't handle the fight , Anyway I'm going to take this as far as I can , and stu thanks there's many points to ask for at the end , I've written a letter to the bank saying to stop payments to travelodge , so I will have to see how it goes , but I'm not going to back down , I think more should have tried to sue them just to see what happens ,but I'm gonna try ,I'm just worried about how much it will cost as I have not alot of money !! But hey let's fight for it ! Iminnocent and deserve travelodge appoligise I will post any replies and hope it will help others as I have read loads of stories travelodge doing this ,but not in the way we were treated Thanks again

We we asked to pay £150 , then refused then they said you can pay on card then we refused was asked to leave , I hope the card does not get £150,taken out as only a small amount in there ,it's very worrying as we have twins aged two which I look after and my partner only works 6 hours a day , I really don't like the way travel lodge can mess with people's life's like this , I know I have to reply to letter which I will copy most of this letter ,but I wish tovstart proceedings against them before they do me ,so any help would be much appricited Many thanks

Sorry it was £28 for two nights bargain I thought

No I have not lost any money , just the night stay they cannot charge my card I think , I went straight to the bank and informed them ,let's hope I can get it resolved ,but I think travelodge are selling rooms in London for £9 which it was and trying to claw back money other ways , but think the security guard was after money and would not want this to happen to anyone else

Hi , I have just received the same letter and telling me I should pay £150 ,here is our situation , we stayed in the traveloge on city road London,on 21st December for two nights , the first night we went to show and after drinks never got back to our room until 3am but the key card never worked and after about 4 new cards and 45 mins later they moved us to another room ,so not best pleased as service and attitude was terrible , as it was late never checked room and put do not desturb sign on , then it was up shower and out in the morning ( me and my mate stayed I am a smoker but he hates smoking so never smoked in room ,so then we were out all day and not returned to our room until about 10pm , after about 30 mins in room decided to pop out for half hour to get some food and few cans to drink in hotel room , that gave me the oppertunity to have a fag outside , so then on returning went to room ,then within ten minutes we had a bang at the door ,it was ga security guard and the person at the desk , I wouldn't of said he was the manager as he never spoke , the security guard said we have to leave and pay £150 fine , we argued we didn't but he became very aggressive and stormed in to the corner of the room to say there was ash on the window seal, which there was a small amount but seemed pretty funny as he knew exactly where it was , he then gave us our marching orders and ten mins to pack and leave ,we sat there and talked and I said no were not leaving , we will wait for the police to get involved as they had no proof and we never did smoke. Then the security guard turned up ,and was very aggressive trying to push us out ,but I did not want the trouble ,so was just gonna call the police myself when the security guard said ,I'm calling them now and he's my mate , so I said let's pack up and go as didn't want to end up getting arrested , when down stairs we went to front desk where the security guard and supposed manager was , I said we would leave but we wanted both your names and he had a security badge on, as I started to copy his details he quickly ripped it off his arm and was very aggressive to us and then got on his phone and said he's calling the police which he said was his mate , so we decided to leave quick as something was not right , my mate confronted the manager and said he wanted the CCTV to be looked at and why he would not let his badge be shown but the security guard got aggressive so I just said let's go Something I also forgot to say is when they first confronted us ,they said we had been in all night smoking and had complaints ,to which we were only in the room ten minutes but they did not have any of it ,would not even let us talk , it was just get out , The CCTV cameras would show we were not in our room , The reason why I have not complained yet ,is because if I did not get the fine today I was gonna write a letter after 28 days because we believed they were after money from us as were asking for £150 cash , The whole thing does not add up , so we were then left to go to car which was the other side of London have short sleep and then drive back to Somerset at 5am in the morning ruining our whole trip Now I am not going to pay the money and something needs to be done , I feel cheated and this should not happen , I would like to know if it was a single girl they would have done the same , I wish to complain and will take them to court ,but never done anything like this before , so any help how I go about this will help. I have ten days to reply to the crs letter which I will do , but I also wish to sue travelodge for all the hassle and inconvenience . Any help appreciated Thankyou
