I attended the gym during that period (rarely). And to be honest, I assumed that I was going to get some more stable employment in the following months and could continue my membership. I assume that my case would get thrown out the moment DL said I used their facilities in month x,y,z but maybe I’’m wrong.

I was somewhat considering sending them an email saying I would pay the 1 month membership fee (maybe even after 9 months since I can say I just wanted a suspension) for them to cancel my membership and not contact me again. But I assume they'd just say no anyway. So best course of action is just ignore until they get a court involved?

Hi there, I came into financial difficulty at the end of March last year (2023). I worked as a contractor for a friend's company and it got ended early (i didn't enforce it since I didn't want to cause any detriment to my friend and his company). I was a member of David Lloyd Clubs since January 2023. And had rarely used the club since June. I sent payments for every month. And the last one was on the 2nd of January. Then my account had no money in it for the month of February (since I didn't have any) and the Direct Debit bounced. I assumed that since the 12 months of the contract were up, that would be it and they would cancel my membership. They tried to take the direct debit a few more times so I just cancelled it. I received calls from them and ignored them. I then received payment reminder emails which I didn't open or reply to on the following dates in February 2024: 2nd, 8th, 16th, 22nd. And then on the 29th I received the following email: I then sent them an email saying (29/02): They responded (01/03): Then I replied (01/03): Then they sent me the following email with my terms and conditions attached (04/03): I have now received an email today (7/04/24) from arc europe which says: And a text message introducing themselves. I've not sent any correspondence yet, can somebody please advise?
