Interesting Update from Xercise4less regarding VCS
Comments
-
ive emailed them to that effect Dee , but they say they want admin fee plus half my outstanding balance...im not sure where i stand.
In effect the PPC has done what its supposed to and rabidly pursued people....its Xercise4less thats at fault with all this by not communicating and protecting members.0 -
You could try telling them that their actions in failing to notify members of the details of the parking scheme were misleading and that their actions (through their agent VCS) in pursuing and continuing to pursue substantial charges arising are aggressive.
Misleading or aggressive practices are offences under the Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, therefore you intend to report the matter to Trading Standards.
Furthermore, come October 1st you will have the power under the Consumer Protection (Amendment) Regulations 2014 to sue both the gym and VCS in respect of misleading and/or aggressive actions, should they be foolish enough to continue pursuing you after that date.
Alternatively they can get VCS to cancel the charges and they can themselves release you from your contract without charge, and you will consider the matter closed.Je suis Charlie.0 -
thanks for your reply Bazster
as to my original point , can VCS still persue me for charges even though they dont represent the landowner anymore?0 -

Private parking companys .... scum of gods earth.PPCs say its carpark management, BPA say its raising standards..... we all know its just about raking in the revenue. :eek:0

But VCS are not known in 2013/2014 to try any court claims at the moment - not since the famous 'toothbrush' case (VCS v Ibbotson):wow....so on it goes.

No doubt like a few other PPCs, they are waiting to find out the outcome of PE v Beavis at the CoA in Feb 2015.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
