I joined my local big chain gym 4 years ago paying monthly by direct debit (£21/mo) and have been using it 3 or so times ever since. Me and Dh have a separate bills account out of which all our direct debit and standing orders come from and monthly we must make 15-20 regular payments for all sorts of stuff.
I came home yesterday to a very snooty/aggressive letter from the gym threatening debt collectors because somehow the direct debit had been cancelled nearly 2 yrs ago (not by me though) and saying I was owe them £462 to be paid within the next 28 days.
I have an members card which is swiped to get in so don't really understand how it was still active if I wasn't paying. I've checked the bank and they're right though and payments haven't come out since summer 2014 but i just didn't notice it since the account ticks along.with no real effort on our part.
What to do? I'm obviously not happy about shelling out nearly £500 in one go. Should I take a stand and tell them that I'm not paying?
