Random Irritations

Leaving a gym.

do to moving to a new office, my gym is nowhere near work. I generally would go during a night shift or fire a day shift. It simply wouldn’t be worth it now. So, start of March I served notice. When lockdown kicked in, the gym cancelled all debits but ha e since contacted me saying that as notice couldn’t be served as such. I’ll need to serve notice again when open. They claim that’ll mean two further payments as they can’t process me til I physically visit to serve notice and as that’ll be into a new month I’ll need to pay for that one, and the one I’m leaving in.

‘I would have happily just paid my dd this month and nit used it to be done, but now I’ve told em to pour it and chase me for it. As far as I can see, they chose to not take my payment. I’m not obliged to pay them. Certainly not two months worth.

How did you serve notice? Post, email are both valid ways to communicate and if you served notice before the lockdown, then that should be sufficient.

If they chose not to process it at that time ,surely it’s their problem.

Wolf is probably the one to ask ?
 
Should have been landing in Naples about now for a week Italian tour
Couple of days in Naples, followed by a couple of days in Rome, then Florence, then Milan.

Managed to cancel and get refunds for most of it, but a real bummer we can’t go :(

Whose the gym chain mate and what were the T&Cs you were given.

Happy to help out on this one and find a way to resolve it for you.

Plus i know the may loopholes each brand use and what wording you need. I just need to know which on it is to offer the best route

I disagree and do you know what irrespective of which party is in power, if we re-open and we see a surge in infections and deaths, I'd applaud a government for taking a strong line saying no, we need to put measures back in place. What's the option. Stay open and see it return and devastate the population and drown the NHS?

I think, and don't forget it's just my little opinion, that any government wouldn't go back on opening things back up. Stop starting the ecconomy is just not something that is a good idea. And yes I do think this will overide concerns for the NHS (once things are open again). But we'll see. It's good to speculate. I don't have the answers.
 
In a bad mood I can't quite shift. First day of lockdown where I've felt like this. Think the grey weather isn't helping, so am glad the forecast is for sun this week ahead as just sitting in the garden helps.

It was anytime Fitness.
I did so via email. At first they said I needed to show proof I was changing location as I couldn’t break contract. I then pointed out Id been a member long past the initial 12 month period and it was all accepted.

ots only since the outbreak that they’ve changed tune. It’s a different guy now. I’m guessing theres pressure on them to keep money coming in when they can.
Like I said, I’d have been willing to pay one last payment. Even though I dont believe I’m required too, but their stance has got on my nerves. Will see how they respond.
