Final demand for debt I didn't know I had!!

Hi guys...

I moved house six months ago, so cancelled my gym membership by email. I said, I will assume this is all fine unless I hear nothing back - I heard nothing back, so assumed all was fine.

My ex-housemate called me today and said I have a final demand for £64 from the gym for not paying the notice period for cancellation. She says the final date for payment is today, before it goes to court - but because she only told me just now - i.e. when the office is closed - I can't make it today.

I have no bones about paying the bill if that's what I owe - but I really don't want to go to court. I'm a bit cross with my friend for not passing on the message sooner - but will I be ok to pay this on Monday, considering I didn't even know I owed them money??

Any advice gratefully received....

Did you give them your new address?

Just call them first thing Monday and sort it out. Explain what happened and all should be fine.
