Harlands - CRS

[PAPAT 0]

Hi Everyone 

 

I have read through all the threads as far back as 2017

- I just wanted to check if it's still the same outcome with my situation.

 

I joined a local gym near me in March 2019 and left in June 2019

- I am now being chased by Harlands and CRS for £228.50;

 

my gym membership was £16 p/m and they are stating they will take legal action (see attached letter).

 

The reason I left is because I moved away to University and therefore would not use the gym back home.

Is there any advice as I just cancelled my DD and it was a 12month contract that I signed?

 

Thanks

doesn't say will anything

read it properly.

 

time for a slick132 letter offering the one membership payment you missed under the 30days cancellation policy and but no unlawful penalty charges..

What is the chance of a court hearing and/or further processes? Sorry, it's just concerning. 

Thanks for all your help.

No chance of Court hearing Harlands wouldn't want their contract testing in court, along with other probably unlawful penalty charges they add in as a frightener.

sorry you said you'd read all threads back to 2017

in that about every one of them says 

Gyms don't do court

gym debts don't show on credit files.

Hi Papat and welcome to CAG

 

Find one of my drafts on another thread and adapt it to say :-

 

I cancelled due to relocation to go to Uni and could not use the gym any more.

 

I now realise I should have given one month's notice and paid a final month's fee.

 

I'll pay this if you accept my  offer within 14 days but the offer will be withdrawn if you demand any more.

 

Put a draft here for checking first if you want.
