Just wanted to see where I stand. I was previously a member of a company called the Debt Resolution Forum. My membership expired and I applied to see if I could start again. Once they came back to me and said I could I had already decided I did not wish to go ahead and told them so over the phone.

Today I received a credit note asking for a payment of £72 for membership not taken up. Is this allowed and if I do not pay what happens, can they keep adding charges to the account until I give in?

    Well according to their website "The Debt Resolution Forum promotes professional standards for resolving debtors' financial problems" so I'd just tell them that by paying this it will result in debt therefore creating further financial problems :wink:

    I am tempted, but they know that I know how the system works so will probably ask me for proof of my debts and I am not in debt.

    Can't believe you can be charged for a membership you didn't even take out!

    You should ask them for a copy of their membership terms & conditions and see what if anything it says about cancelling membership. If it doesn't then you might have grounds for an unfair contract clause.........I am not a lawyer

    I take it you have contacted them to ask WTF is going on. You have, haven't you?
