Do I tell ukasearch uk this as the debt is with Harland's or do I deal direct with Harland's who the contract was with and who, I have already made an offer too but didn't accept my offer? Thanks

Hi and Hello everyone. I know this has been done to death but just want to check that we are still doing the write thing. My son was at Uni and took out gym membership, towards the end of his studies he could afford the fees, he spoke to a member of staff at the gym to ask how to cancel his membership and was told to just cancel his direct debit which he did. He finished uni and came home briefly before moving back out while home he received a letter from Harlands say that he owed £212.46 for not cancelling his membership, I sent a letter using one of your templates see below by recorded delivery. Thursday 21st June 2018 Credit Resource Solutions Ltd 3rd Floor West Bowling Mill Dean Clough Elland West Yorkshire HX3 5AX To whom it may concern, I have received a letter about an owed debt due to my Gym membership. I refer to my membership at Simply Gym, Cheltenham. I spoke at the time to a member of staff at the gym about cancelling my membership, this was and is due to being a student and having maxed out my student overdraft of £1000 and currently being unemployed and struggling just to buy food on which to live. They told me it would be fine to just cancel my direct debit mandate. I cancelled my Direct Debit Mandate but realise now that I should have given 30 days’ notice to cancel my membership (I did not realise I had to give 30 days’ notice when leaving the gym, as I do not have a terms and conditions in writing, or on my email notifying me of this). So, I now offer to pay the final months fee of £14.99 to cover the notice period. I will not pay any administration or cancellation fees these are penalties that are unlawful and unenforceable. If you confirm in writing that you accept the amount of £14.99 in full and final settlement of all that I owe, I will pay you promptly. If you fail to accept my offer within 14 days or you demand any other payment, I will pay you nothing and my offer will be withdrawn. I will only deal with this in writing to my parents address above any other form of communication will be reported to the relevant authorities as harassment. Yours Sincerely, I think he had one more letter which he ignored and then nothing yesterday a letter turned up at my Address. I rang my son who no longer lives with us, as it said private and confidential on it but had no details on the envelope on where it was sent from. He said open it. Its from UKSEARCH LIMITED - Date of correspondence 17-04-19 - Reference number xxxxx debt owed to - Harlands Group type of debt unpaid membership the letter reads Dear XXXX RE Debt address: (where he lived when at Uni) Type of Debt: unpaid membership. UK Search act on behalf of our client Harlands Group who has instructed us to recover the amount of £212.46, being owed to them under the reference above.

If you are unable to pay in full, call us immediately with your proposals for repayment. We will consider repayment by instalments, based on your individual circumstances. If you do not respond to this letter within 7 days, we will need to escalate this matter to recover the debt on behalf of Harlands Group. If you Callus, we will explain this further. yours sincerely 01246 570500. My question is should we ignore this letter? should we send them one of your template letters? or ring them.
