just took a quick look at the ncca website and i can find no reference to the t & c's so you must have to be a member before you can look at them. bit late then though is'nt it ?, come to think of it i do'nt recall seeing them before i signed up but i might be wrong.

Crichton,
If you've sent them a letter they are basically stuffed, assuming you have a copy of it, which you should send to them to support your case, by recorded delivery too.
Contracts can be successfully challenged, if the terms are deemed unfair, or unreasonable, my son is a litigation lawyer and deals with these types of issues on a daily basis. For the sums of money involved, a couple of hundred quid and with it the risk of having to pay your legal costs should they lose deters most from pursuing these rather petty matters, but they do like to use the threat of such action to try and frighten you into submission.

Creighton, that's the point Gyms have done that, the guy From Dragons Den has done it 1000s of time , because he says "a contract is a contract is a contract " once you sign it you are bound by the T&Cs, unless you and the other party agree to a change .


Have you not read the T&Cs yet about the route your letter should have taken ? do you get proof of postage ?

Not entirely correct, there is legislation called the unfair terms in contract act.
basically if it is found that a term is heavy in favour of the company and to the
detriment of the consumer, then that term is unfair and does not apply and has to be removed. There is a governmental website somewhere that you can report terms you
 believe are unfair. They are removing terms all the time from companies.

Always makes me laugh when you see terms that say things like "our company will not be held responsible for death resulting in the use of this product" you really think that would be a get out clause if the director was up for man slaughter charge!? Lol

Creighton,

Just do what I have done. Pay for 2012/2013 and e mail them that you wish to leave at the end of this period.
Done this yesterday and they have acknowledged my resignation e mail which will be kept safe.

Regards tony
