Robinson Way - I don't agree I owe them

Rainbow_Liberty

Can anyone please give me any advice regarding Robinson Way.

Long story but here goes.

I was a member of a gym, Classic World of Fitness in Widnes, I was attending in 2001 but had left and cancelled the direct debit with the bank, no problem. A number of months later I went back and asked to just reinstate my direct debit for the remainder of the time I had originally taken my membership over. I didn't know until I had to cancel the second time that I had infact signed a completely new membership agreement for the full year again. Despite me having explained to them I could only return for a few months due to waiting to go into hospital for stomach surgery which would prevent me from returning to the Gym for the remainder of my contract.

Looking back through the paperwork that I have, the first letter saying I had cancelled the direct debit came from Open & Direct retail services dated 7th Jan 2002.

I replied explained the situation about the original direct debit and my circumstances both health wise and financially and they were happy to cancel my membership so long as I had confirmation from Classic World of Fitness that my membership had ceased.

I wrote to CWoF on 1st February 2002 again explained about the original direct debit, my health & financial situation but their Director C D Tyson was adamant that I would not be released from my obligation and stated that they were a business as well.

After that I did write a few more letters, but they totally fell on deaf ears and eventually when I sorted out my other debts and offered £1 to each one I wrote to Robinson Way who by now had taken the debt over and offered 11p monthly. Which they accepted and have received by standing order since then - after conversing with Niddy though I have cancelled all standing orders including the 11p to Robinson Way.

I don't know what a DN is and I've never had a notice of termination, just the letters back and forth between me and CD Tyson. Classic World of Fitness, East Bond Street, Leigh, Lancashire WN7 1BP (the head office)

I've recently received copies of all of my credit files and this is not showing up on any of them so I assume it was defaulted quite sometime ago

You would probably get a better response over on the consumer rights board. Maybe give a board guide a PM to move it or start a new thread there.

Thanks I've managed to start it on the consumer boards after all. Didn't know where I was going but I've found it now.

Thanks again.
