Legal Action to be Instituted against a student
In June 2014, my daughter in her 3rd year at Varsity, verbally cancelled her Virgin Active subscription at the Vanderbijlpark Gym. Reason being that her pocket money could not cover the subscription fees and the debit order kept being returned by the bank, resulting in additional bank charges.<br> <br> We told them that I, her mother, is the only breadwinner and we simply couldn't afford any luxuries. They never attempted to debit her account again after that and she NEVER used the equipment at the gym again.<br> <br> However, yesterday she receives a letter from their attorneys, demanding immediate payment or else they will institute legal action. I would like to see how they are going to recover the outstanding balance, additional legal fees and interest from a 4th year student.<br> <br> It is time that people should report these type of issues on a more regular basis, because people are being threatened by letters from attorneys. Quiet frankly, I think lawyers taking business like this should be banned.
