Xercise4Less Cancellation Worries

[Bazooka Boo]

Either ignore, or embarrass them on social media for their foolish third party who doesn't know their left from their right!

[Ulysses2281]

But won't they just start heaping charges and harassing me if I do either?

[dx100uk]

Hi Ulysses,

 

Read other threads here. If you did this, you'd learn already that Harlands/CRS demands are mainly speculative.

 

Harlands/CRS can add all the admin fees they like but that does NOT mean they are payable or enforceable.

 

Ignore their silly threats and keep us posted about further contact.

 

Read threads here to gain knowledge and confidence.

But won't they just start heaping charges and harassing me if I do either?

 

Yes hopefully, the more the merrier.

 

You aren't ever going to be paying a single penny of them.

 

They can do about as much as I can do to you, if you send me your address, I'll keep sending you begging letters every four weeks, and keep adding my fees on top, and hopefully you'll pay me money you don't owe me, simply because I've intimidated you enough with some idle threats, legal jargon and words you don't understand...

 

Harassment IS a criminal offence, regardless of who is carrying it out.

 

Get back on to social media and tell the gym, that unless they tell their lap dogs to stop harassing you, then it will be X4L answering any legal action you may take regarding the criminal offence of harassment against you.

"Dear [My name],

 

re: Your membership to Xercise 4 Less

 

We are disappointed that you have not responded to our previous correspondence.

 

The January Instalment has now been missed, resulting in a further administration fee of £ 25.00 being added. The total amount now to bring your account up to date is £ 69.98.

 

Please call the HARLANDS HELPLINE - 01444 449033 to make payment by DEBIT / CREDIT card and reinstate your Direct Debit Instruction. If you wish to pay by any other method, you must still phone us to discuss your options.

 

The telephone lines are open 9.00am to 1.00pm and 2.00pm to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.

 

If you do not call us by 27 January 17, then the collection of your membership fees will cease to be administered by Harlands and will be passed to a Debt Recovery company. This may incur you significant additional fees and ultimately result in court action.

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Harlands"

 

 

 

I didn't do anything on social media because I also use an alias there, so what do I do now?

[Ulysses2281]

I'm also an idiot and lost the previous letter, so what am I meant to do about that?

[slick132]

Hi Ulysses,

 

Don't worry that you lost the letter. Didn't you draft on a PC or laptop ? In future, keep a copy on your machine.

 

If it's the letter in post #2, you have a copy here on CAG anyway.

 

You can either ignore them completely OR you can send X4Less a further warning :-

 

Dear Xercise4Less,

 

I refer to further demands which you are allowing Harlands/CRS to make on your behalf.

 

My previous letter to you sent at the end of November 2016 stated clearly that I am under 18 and cannot be held responsible for any payments at all.

 

Unless you tell Harlands/CRS to cease demands immediately, I will go to The CMA, Trading Standards and social media to complain that Xercise4Less are allowing Harlands/CRS to commit the criminal offence of Harassment against a minor.

 

Yous faithfully,

 

That should do it !

 

[Ulysses2281]

I meant the first letter that they sent, but I've found it now I'll try to post the letter tomorrow. Thank you so much

[slick132]

Never mind what they've sent you.

 

Send the letter as suggested to X4Less and keep us posted.

 

[Ulysses2281]

Hey everyone, my only means of printing has been down since January and only today I found it works. But now CRS has sent a letter saying I owe over £100. Should I alter the letter or should it stay the same?

[dx100uk]

nope

[slick132]

Hi Ulysses,

 

Just send the letter exactly as per my draft. You must know someone that can print off the letter for you to send, so do it asap !

 

Ignore the latest nonsense from Harlands/CRS.

 

Keep us posted.

 

[Ulysses2281]

Sent the letter a couple weeks ago, got this email yesterday

 

 

"Good afternoon *MY NAME*

 

Thank you for contacting Xercise4less.

 

As you have advised us that you are under 18, Please would you provide me with an attachment of either your passport, birth certificate, provisional etc.

 

Once I am able to verify that you are under 18, I will then be able to assist you further with this,

Healthy Regards

Hi Ulysses,

 

Do you have a student card or something to show your age without disclosing too much info or data.

 

I don't think you should provide your passport or driving licence.

 

Let us know please.

 

[Ulysses2281]

Sadly I don't. I can get a card off of my school but it will only have my picture and name, not my age. And I don't have a Driver's License or Passport

[slick132]

Birth Certificate maybe or anything at all that confirms your DoB ?

 

[slick132]

One further thought - did you give the gym your proper DoB at any time in the sign-up process.
