    That was a good victory for the OFT using UTCCR.

      I'd be really grateful if anyone could let me know if they've successfully used this to challenge and cancel their memberships - I like many people had an unpleasant experience trying to end mine when the gym I was using wasn't up to scratch, and was threatened with bailiffs and poor credit rating etc... I'd love to end mine now (nearly a year later) but would love to know if anyone's been there and could give me some tips!

          Also was your contract longer than 12 months and had no right to cancel it during those first 12 months? I so then i suspect it is unfair and the termination charges would be unlawful.
