Virgin Active and ARC debt collection...please help!

Hi,

Im being chased by ARC debt collection on behalf of virgin active gyms.

I DID CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP PROPERLY, i dropped a letter off at the reception desk at least one month before i cancelled by direct debit with my bank.

Virgin Active say they never got my letter. They have also been sending letters to my old house so i havent got them.

ARC are horrible and somehow have got hold of my parent's number and are bullying them.

Please tell me what to do?

Thank you in advance!

    Repost this on the DFW board - there are template letters you can use to insist on all communication in writing.
