  1. Hi all, I was looking for some advice. Hopefully this is close to the right place! On October 5th I signed myself up to be the captain of a six-a-side football team in a league ran by a company known as Soccersixes. We have played in such leagues before and although I was aware they use underhanded tactics and are all about the money, we have never had any major issues. We played our first match on October 15th and at the time is seemed to go okay; however, I was then informed on October 17th by the league organiser that the referee had reported an incident that would result in one of our players being banned for one match. The issue with this is that the incident was not raised during or after the match at the venue, and as a result no one knew who the alleged culprit was. The referee did not know the name of who was involved, and everyone in the team denied that it was them (no one actually saw it happen and I have doubts that it happened the way the referee described). In addition, we were unaware that the league dealt with discipline in this way. In every other league ran by Soccersixes that we have played in, a fine was always the result of an incident rather than a banning, unless it was reported to the County FA which in this case the organiser told me that it hadn't been. This is backed up by the terms and conditions on the website: "Discipline: Any player receiving a red card will be fined £10 which is payable before playing again. Any serious discipline will be reported to the relevant County FA." The problem we had is that we really only had a base of six people who could play, so if we showed up and someone couldn't play we would have been a man down, or if we showed up with seven and the referee couldn't point anyone out we would have had to play with a sub which no one wanted to do. I told the league organiser that we wouldn't be showing up as we did not sign up to a league that could ban players on a whim, but was told that if we didn't we would be fined our match fee and our opponent's match fee for every week until a replacement was found. After this, I tried to pass the team onto somebody else who could get a team together, and was told by the league organiser that if they register their interest online, he will swap the details over. This was done, but the league organiser then said a match will have to be played before the new person can be held responsible, before details can be passed over and before the team will be put into the league online. This was weird, given that my team was put into the league online before we played a game and given that I was held responsible immediately upon signing up. Fast forward to last night, October 22nd, and we took the decision out of principal not to go to the game. My thought process was that Soccersixes have broken their own terms and conditions by banning a player, so how could they find us in breach of the rules if it went any further? The terms and conditions for not showing up to a fixture are as follows: "You will pay us full match fee for cancelling a match. If a match is cancelled on less than 48 hours’ notice and we are unable to arrange your opponents another game you will also pay us the opponent’s match fee." And: "If a team cancels then the opposing team must still turn up for a friendly if the game is provided by S6. The team will win 5-0 and pay for the match as normal." Knowing this, I thought I best go to the venue when our match was being played to see whether or not our opposition team were playing a friendly; from past experience, when a team does not show up, the referee just asks one of the teams from the match before to stay and play again. The team was playing, so I recorded this for evidence, and I also asked one of the guys who I kind of know if they had paid and he said yes. Today, I received a text from the league organiser asking for £68 within 48 hours, or the situation would be passed on to debt collectors. Knowing that £68 equalled two match fees, I asked him how he arrived at this figure, to which he replied that our opposition "did not play a match". When I told him that I know this to be a lie, he changed it to say that our opposition "did not play a satisfactory match". When I asked him why he charged our opposition their match fee and is also asking for the same match fee from us, he initially refused to respond, reiterating that we owe the amount stated. Hours later, he then said that they would be receiving credit back due to it being unsatisfactory. Obviously he is still requesting the £68 from me, but given that they seem to be breaking their own terms and conditions left, right and centre, I really do not think that I should be accountable for anything. Thoughts?
  2. Looking for advice please, I have discovered my 16 year old son signed up to soccersixes t&c's and ticked a box on line to say he was over 18 yrs old. All was going well until his team mates starting dropping out and basically my son has been left with spiralling out costs as he was unable to get a weekly team to play. Myself and his dad knew nothing about what he had done, until he confessed. I have written to soccersixes explaining that my son is only 16 years of age, and that he can not afford to meet these costs. I have also tried to speak to them, sent text messages and emails and they have all been ignored. Today my son received a letter advising he has amounts to be paid within 7 days or they may take court action. My son or ourselves do not have the money to pay. I accept my son is in the wrong for ticking to confirm he is over 18 but any advice would be appreciated.
  3. Hi everyone. I have just found out that my son has signed to play in a soccersixes league which started at the beginning of the season. Like many young people he didn't read the small print etc. Over time the interest to play has wained and he struggles to get a team together, when he does they don't want to pay! Over time arrears have built up and he has now received a demand notice to pay up or they will issue a ccj and add on all late due, monies due to the end of the season and court costs. Owes £117.55 Remaining fixtures £351 Court costs if claimed £80 Total £548.55 My concerns and need for advise are as follows; 1- He was and still is 17 when he signed the contract (online signature). The form says he has to be 18! (idiot). No one else signed. 2- As he is a minor can they register a ccj against him and legally hold him to the contract. 3- Is the agreement covered by the CCA, if so are they not required to carry out due dilligence (ID/Passort etc). If someone signs to agree to pay something like this surely they need to verify the person signing is who they say they are. 4 - Surely they cant just issue a default letter without previous correspondence (there has been none) 5- Under civil protocol rules should they cease proceedings until resolved etc. Any help advise please as this is very urgent Thank you-worried parent
