Hello! I recently signed for UK model and paid 50 pounds. Just a few minutes ago. And now when I studied it's reviews . I want my money back. I booked a shoot on Sunday 1 December. And today is mo day. Can I get it back without appearing on shoot. Can you please guide me. Like If I told them before 3 working days.

What do the terms and conditions state about cancelling?
There is no statutory right of cancellation as its for a fixed date/time0 -
The best bet is if this falls under distance buying regulations - I don't know if it does. But if so that should give you 14 days to cancel. Obviously you would need to do this before Saturday and I would suggest asap.
Also - not sure if this is the right area for this post so I'll see where I can move so you get better informed responses.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

UK Models appears to be operating on the basis that this is for work, some parts of the site seem to operate on a commercial basis, but they also mention the shoot £50 deposit falls under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and is fully refundable.Brie said:moved to consumer rights
Booking deposits vary from £50 to £200
Booking deposits are paid to ensure clients turn up to their appointments
They are refunded within 14 days of attendance at the studio, unless they are used as part of an order.

There is a carve out for accommodation, transport of goods, vehicle rental services, catering or services related to leisure activities where the booking is for a specified date/time.Brie said:The best bet is if this falls under distance buying regulations - I don't know if it does.

They'll argue having some photos taken is a leisure activity and the OP already confirmed its for a fixed time/date.
Cinemas etc wouldn't offer online sales were it not the case else people could book multiple viewings and just decide on the day which they fancy so they'd go from turning people away to being empty1
