Gym Membership

[MrAdaam]

Firstly, apoligies for maybe not having this in the right section.
I've recently quit the local Gym, and possibly heading out of town to a more Weights-focused Gym. I dropped my letter in today stating my reasons and am going to cancel the Direct Debit tomorrow at the bank. I am well within my rights as I made such I had a clause so I could get out if I began to get bored.
So, took in the letter today and whatever.. The DD to the Gym came out of the bank today and I'm wondering if there is anyway of being able to claim that back?
I haven't been going for some time so thought I'd best get out of it. Any chance of having a refund on any of this? Even if it's just the last month? Would it be the Gym's decision as too whether or not I can have any money back?

Thanks,
Adam.

I think that its up to you to cancel a direct debit, i.e. if you cancel your gym membership your direct debit will still come out unless you have been to the bank to cancel it.

If the gym processed your cancelation before it came out you may get it back if you ask the gym; not really sure how it will work though.

I guess all you can do is go to the gym and ask.

What do the terms and conditions of your membership say with regard to cancellations? Is it a months notice? If it is then you'll have to stand that payment. On the plus side your membership should still run for another month if you've paid in advance so exploit it!

Thanks, cleared up for me. Thought this would be the case but doesn't hurt to ask.

Yeah it depends exactly what it says in your contract.

If they won't give it back, go in there every day and run the hot tub for two hours
