I finished my 6 months contract with a Gym membership .I had to relocate so could not give a written cancellation .Its been 5 months .they never called though they had my phone number
Yesterday i got a letter from some crap credit agency saying that i owe the gym 600£ including the credit agency charges
I telephoned the Gym and they say that i need to speak to the credit agency and when i asked them why they dint inform me the whole situation earlier .they say that they sent letters to my previous address and tried calling my phone number (and the number they told me was a wrong number).I had received several marketing calls earlier so they cant get my number wrong but dont know wot went wrong
the credit agency just says all that they can do is reduce the amount to 360£ one off payment

I feel really cheated and this is very unfair when i havent used the gym even for a day after cancelling direct debit .And i have finished my contract

Can anybody help me as to whom to approach and what i should

Thanks in advance
