Ive got the exactly same problem! im at university... no credit experience... visited David Lloyd Leisure with a view to joining. They were very persistent is me joining. Made me fill a form, which I DIDNT KNOW was the contract AND i wasnt told it was the contract, which would make me a member and legally binding woth the agreement. The woman just said 'hey just sign here for me, and thats all we need'. So I just signed it. not knowing what it was. i just thought it was normal procedure. next day get a phone call to pay for 12 months. i was very shocked. told them the situation... wouldnt listen... asked to talk to the manager... he wasnt of ANY help. He just said 'you have signed the contract, you have to pay'. Im a university student, who has been lured into David Lloyds disgusting sales techniques, and not having the money to pay for the gym (as it it horribly expensive!). They are now saying if i dont pay then they with send collections to come and get it. Im not sure what to do? I am going to write to them explaining the situation because as far as I know I dont need to pay anything.
I totally agree with the other comment on here, BY ANY MEANS AVOID DAVID LLOYDS GYM! THEY TRY AND TARGET VUNERABLE PEOPLE (young/students) WHO DONT HAVE MUCH KNOWLEDGE OF CONTRACTS ETC, GET THEM TO SIGN AND TRY AND GET MONEY FROM THEM. I THINK IT IS JUST DISGUSTING!!
