    Hi folks,

    I have a month left in my Westwood Membership. They are now saying I need to give 60 days notice if I don't want to continue my contract and I need to sign all these cancellation notices etc.

    Can I just cancel the DD or will they come after me for that?

    Just cancel the DD - and ignore any letters. I've done this 3 or 4 times when moving gyms. Never been chased.

    The termination notice would have. Been included in the Ts and Cs you. Signed when joining. I would suggest honouring the contract you signed. If you cancel the DD you are probably in breach of contract but not sure what WW would do about it.

    I went into my gym - not the same chain as yours - to cancel my membership as I was 6 months pregnant and moving county. They wanted 3 months notice. I just cancelled the DD.

    If they'd required a month or six weeks notice I would have paid but I honestly thought 3 months notice was taking the pss.

    Just cancel your Direct Debit and ignore them.

    Any Gym's requiring 2 months notice is taking the piss.

    It's just a scam to try put people off quitting and getting a few months extra
    membership. There's no logical reason they would require that much notice.

    Notice for what? It's a pure racket.

    Also record something at the same time confirming cancellation such as sending an email to cover yourself.

    Write to them and hand the letter in.

    60 days is an unfair amount of time and I thought this was already sorted out with a voluntary code.

    You signed up for a year, you are not continuing afterwards. You are giving the sufficient notice of not renewing and you will be cancelling your direct debit.
