You have to request the gap coffee jobs as I believe they send you special eqipment.

No pharmacy or pubs showing for me when I check available assignments, but as soon as I go into "search for assignments" - bingo, they all pop up! Have you tried the search function?

Hi all. I am after some advice. Hope someone can help. I did one of the gym visits for RE. It was a 10 visit one and basically I was a member for 2 months. Afterwhich if I wanted to stay on, I would have to pay for it myself. Did all my visits. Wanted to cancel. But decided to stay on for 1 extra month. Told the team member at RE about this, as they would cancel my membership for me after Visit 9. She said it was fine. (She could have told me I was on a 12 month membership as this is the only membership this particular gym do, but she didn't). *** I asked the Receptionist if I could cancel. I was told by the chap that inducted me that all I had to do was give one month's written notice, which is what I was intending to do. So I would have written to them at the start of October and come November the membership would be over. What I was told was that if I joined in July, I would not be able to cancel until next July. I fought my corner and said this is the information that I was given and I that's that. I was told to read my membership details. I went home and looked at the photocopy as the original had to be sent off to RE. It did actually say I was a member until the end of July 2009. *** I've had a little Google about this particular gym and they are well known for ripping people off using the above scenario. When people cancel their direct debits they send in the heavies! *** The thing is in the brief for these visits, it actually stated sign up, it did not say trawl through all the details in detail. When I signed the contract, I swear the chap said one month's written notice, and this is why I stayed on after my mystery visits ended. The brief did not say anything about going home and looking through the contract in detail etc. *** The thing is if I am expected to stay on until the end of July 2009 it will cost me another £700 which I am not willing to pay. Can anyone shed some advice on this. I want to pull out asap. Is it my fault for not reading the paperwork properly? Is the chap that inducted me responsible as I was given the wrong information? Are RE jointly responsible for not making it clear in the brief that if you do not cancel you will be required to stay on for a 12 month persion? Eeeek! HELP! Plus I think one or two of the personal instructors know I was the mystery member.

Hi Mimi, wow, that sounds like a lot of agro. This is the kind of thing I was scared of re the gym visits, not being able to cancel as I know the gym you are talking about and yes they make it very hard to cancel.
Hope someone can shed some light on this for you, maybe someone that has done th assignment. In my opinion, RE should help you out here as you signed up under their instruction, surely they should be able to contact the client and say that this contract should be cancelled as it was a mystery visitor sign up.

Not 100% sure but I think RE got you out of the contract at the end of 3 months but as you chose to stay on they probably left you to your own devices.
I would contact RE and see if they can help you

Can anyone please confirm that Pizza ones on RE you just need a note of the receipt number and not to scan it in as my scanner has decided to stop working. Thanks
