Moving abroad or relocation

Rule: BH Live does not publish a specific relocation clause in the public help pages.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 for contested contract terms.

Required proof documents: proof of new address or reason for relocation, membership details.

Before you cancel: negotiate

Retention offers reported in research are not detailed on BH Live public pages. There are no specific retention deals published. To ask for retention options, follow this script: 1) Call your centre and say you want to cancel; 2) Ask if a freeze, downgrade to Flexi Monthly, or temporary suspension is available; 3) Request any offer in writing or an email. If no offer is made, submit the formal cancellation form.

What cancellation saves you - example calculations

Use real BH Live prices where published to compute yearly costs and savings.

Example 1 - EGYM Pay-As-You-Go adult: £10 per session. If you attend 4 sessions per month: monthly cost = 4 x £10 = £40. Annual cost = £40 x 12 = £480 per year.

Example 2 - EGYM Pay-As-You-Go junior: £6 per session. If you attend 4 sessions per month: monthly cost = 4 x £6 = £24. Annual cost = £24 x 12 = £288 per year.

Example 3 - One-Day Pass: £10 per pass. If you buy one per month: £10 x 12 = £120 per year.

Cheapest real alternative from competitors (example): PureGym entry-level membership often advertised at £12.99 per month. Annual cost = £12.99 x 12 = £155.88 per year. If you currently pay the equivalent of £40 per month by PAYG pattern above (£480/year), switching could save £480 - £155.88 = £324.12 per year. Note: consult the competitor directly for the exact plan matched to your needs.

Key consumer laws

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 - gives a 14-day cooling-off right for most contracts bought online or off-premises. Consumer Rights Act 2015 - services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and unfair contract terms may be challenged.

Automatic renewal and unfair practices

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potentially unfair. If BH Live uses unclear renewal practices you can complain to Citizens Advice for guidance.

How to escalate a dispute

1) Complain to BH Live in writing (email or postal). 2) If unresolved, contact Citizens Advice for next steps. 3) If payment was made by credit card and the value qualifies, consider a Section 75 claim through the card issuer or a chargeback via your bank. 4) There is no single sector ombudsman for leisure centres; use Citizens Advice and your payment provider.

Confirm access and final billing

Keep the cancellation confirmation, note the effective end date, and check your bank statements for any future direct debits. If services were provided during the 14-day cooling-off period, expect a pro rata charge for service used up to cancellation.

Data and account re-activation

Request written confirmation of data retention or deletion from [email protected]. If you later re-join, ask whether a new joining fee applies because joining fees are non-refundable.

Ticket refunds and event cancellations

For venue tickets, BH Live may refund event tickets if an event is cancelled. Research shows complaints that BH Live refunded tickets but withheld ticket insurance or admin fees in some cases. Preserve your ticket purchase receipt and any insurance terms when requesting refunds.

Complete this checklist to stop payments and protect your rights.

• Fill and submit the online cancellation form at membership-cancellation-form or submit an in-centre form.
• If cancelling within 14 days, state the cancellation date and keep confirmation for immediate termination.
• Keep a copy of confirmation email or stamped in-centre form.
• Stop direct debit - only after you have cancellation confirmation, contact your bank to stop future payments if necessary.
• For postal cancellation send a Signed For letter to BH Live, Crown Way, CF14 3UZ Cardiff and keep tracking.
• If you paid by credit card and BH Live refuses a refund you believe you are due, contact your card provider about Section 75 or chargeback.
