I was a member of Esporta Islington for a year or so and was reasonably satisfied with their facilities. I then broke my arm and suspended my membership. A year and a half later I noticed unexpected withdrawals from my bank account. It was Esporta - they had reactiveated my account without telling me and removed almost £400 over 6 months before I had noticed. I complained to Esporta and despite the fact that I had not made a single visit to their gym over the period (i didn't know my membership was active) they REFUSED to re-credit the fees. They said that the contract I had signed allowed them to make the charges. They claimed that they had written to me, but no such letter was received. I was shocked by the behaviour of this supposedly reputable gym and would strongly recommend you find somewhere else to get fit.

Hi and welcome to Ciao. It would be so much helpful to know more about your complaint - how much did you originally pay etc.
