Gym Membership Debt, Collection Agency Scams
A personal anecdote details a dispute over a £349 gym membership debt in Guilford that escalated when a collection agency posed as a law firm. The agency attempted to collect £500, significantly more than the original debt, by using threatening legal language. This is cited as a common predatory practice where agencies buy debt and tack on excessive fees.
