Impossible to get hold of
Impossible to get hold of. The contact form on the website doesn’t work and the email the post all over trust pilot doesn’t work. £15 “late charge” for a £17 direct debit is a complete joke. Almost doubled due to circumstances out of my control and no response from anyone!

This is a fraudulent business
This is a fraudulent business. This company have somehow decided I owe £184.95 for a gym membership. They then set up a direct debit from my bank without permission and proceeded to take £50 a month. I don't have a gym membership. Also I don't understand how a private company can set up a direct debit without permission.

I wrote to my Gym and cancelled my membership on the 7th November as the contract stated I could. I let the direct debit go out on the 1st December to take last payment. No I’m getting text to say my account is overdue.
I have not used the Gym since last June due to illness so they have had more than enough money out of me.
I am also aware the gym has been taken over, however as members we had no news of this or any new contact details.
I have since tried to find an email to contact DFC and failed. The ref is YYUZAIPI

Cancelled a Gym membership
Ok Cancelled a Gym membership. Was out of contract a long time. I had to go into the bank to do it. The DD was set up in such a way I could not cancel it on the banking app, quite sinister I thought. The gym I was contracted to had changed hands so I gave them the written notice. Getting threatening emails from Debit Finance now saying they want the DD set up again and are going to charge me and my wife £15 each for their trouble. If I’m in the wrong I would like Debit finance to email me and explain. JamesWren
Had a reply from Nichola at DF this morning. Our membership finishes in May 25 ,( moved house and lost the paperwork) She has cancelled it from then. Thanks Nichola

Dear James,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you've encountered. I understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t go as expected.
Regarding the cancellation of your Direct Debit, I want to clarify that DFC does not have control over the cancellation process within your banking app. If you were unable to cancel the Direct Debit through the app, it would be best to contact your bank directly to understand why this occurred.
In terms of your gym membership cancellation, we must adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in your agreement with the gym. I can confirm that we received your email on the 4th, but unfortunately, our office was closed over the weekend. Rest assured, we are reviewing your request and will respond to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.

Fraudster! Report to the Insolvency Service ASAP
I have never heard of this company before but some how have clearly stolen my banking details and set up a direct debit for a gym membership which I have no clue about. I don’t go to a gym neither have I signed up for one. The first payment can out of my bank account yesterday with another payment scheduled for the 1st January 2025 at £35. I complained to my bank, reported this fraudulent company to them and have no had my money refunded by my bank. This company is nothing but a fraudulent scam. They are stealing people’s banking details and setting up direct debits. The gym I found on their website appears to be over 200 miles away from where I live. Clearly I would not be signing up or attending a gym that far away if I actually went to the gym which I don’t.
I see many people have found themselves in the same or similar situations. You need to report this company to the Insolvency Service. I have done so. If they find a sufficient amount of people have been fraudulently scammed they can investigate. This company needs to be shutdown. There is nearly 800 complaints about this company on here alone imagine all those this has happened too and is currently or about to happen to that haven’t complained or written on here. If you can take the time to report this company to the Insolvency Service. They shouldn’t be aloud to operate, they need to be shutdown. They’re a registered company of fraudsters stealing banking information and setting up fraudulent and illegal direct debits.

I have a direct debit from this company and have no idea what it is. I haven’t joined any new gyms or subscriptions. Offices are closed and have short midweek opening hours. No list of partners online. Online form didn’t work.

Immoral and potentially illegal practice
This company has enabled my child to take out an account which I believe breaks the law. The gym encouraged them to sign up in their parent’s name as they are under 18 - no identity checks or parental permission required.
We have tried to cancel the gym membership as my child has moved away for university and have now canceled the direct debit.
This company is now pursuing arrears payments for a contract in my name, impacting my credit score and causing significant stress to a vulnerable young person who was coerced into taking out a contract when under age.
The company’s response suggests going back to the gym to resolve this, but the gym say that debitfinance will not allow them to cancel the agreement - so there is no resolution.
This is very distressing for a young person, who also has additional needs that make communication and dealing with information difficult. I think this company has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure that companies it works with are following appropriate process to enter into contracts, and should be supporting customers who have been placed in impossible situations.

Good morning,
We sincerely apologise for the distress caused by this situation, and we fully understand your concerns.
Please be aware that we are a third-party company responsible for collecting Direct Debit payments on behalf of various facilities. We do not have any involvement in the membership signup process, including age verification or contract agreements. Unfortunately, we are required to abide by the terms and conditions set out by the facility when it comes to payment collections.
To address your concerns regarding the membership and how it was set up, we strongly recommend reaching out directly to the facility in question. They will be able to assist you further and provide guidance on resolving the matter.
I have recently tried to cancel my gym…
I have recently tried to cancel my gym membership as I do not physically have time to attend due to changing job. Going from part-time to full time and having to commute an hr there and back. My daughter who has lots of after school clubs. My father who is ill with cancer and needs cared for.
They asked for a letter from my work stating my new job role and told me they would cancel it no bother. I sent the letter and cancelled my direct debit. I have now been in touch with them on several occasions being told my reasons are not good enough and I have to pay an excess fee of £200. They have also charged me for not making my £25 payment so I now have to pay £40 as I now have a late payment fee of £15 added on.
They will be able to see I haven’t used they gym in over 2 months as we have to use our card to sign in. I just feel life should be this hard!! I just want to cancel this and move on. I’m have more serious issues in life that need my energy.
