I have received a letter today from the above in relation to a David Lloyd gym membership. I cancelled my direct debit and spoke with them over the phone to let them know. They advised me I was under contract but never asked for one months notice to be paid. 
 

Firstly I thought gym memberships where not a form of credit and therefore a CCJ couldn’t be registered against you

Secondly I thought that the office of fair trading had won a test case which stated that you can’t be held to a gym contract 

The letter states I owe 985 including court fees and legal representation costs.  And have to reply if I intend to defend all of the claim, part of the claim, or jurisdiction of the court 

 

Can anyone please advise why this happening and if they can claim this amount from myself

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

It was a single membership with both of my children added on.

August was the last payment.

It was around 160 per month including swimming lessons.

I was 8 month into a one year contract. 

I will log the above this evening.

Pdiddy,

Don't panic about geting a CCJ. They aren't just handed out willy nilly...

The ONLY way to up with a CCJ is to go through the Court process... AND lose... THEN you have to defy the court by not paying up within a month.

Only then is a CCJ imposed.

We could do with some help from you.

i didnt say the cpr link i said read the post WHERE the cpr is mentioned in.

as you'll see you are not the only one going thru this

the backroom guys will help and are working on that already 

but read through your thread and that other david lloyd claimform thread and things to not in your defence will become clearer. though it will mostly be based on our std defence to all speculative claims.

there is somewhere also the ashbourne gym thread with the judgement 11yrs ago now that stopped all those ridiculous gym court claims being made before that time
