In my recent renewal notice I see that my fee has gone up from £46 per year to £48 per year.  This is a 4.35% increase.  When inflation is running at 0.3% this makes for an increase that is 14 and a half times that of inflation.  And yet there apparrently is no need for an explanation of this hike in the renewal premium.   Can anyone give me an explanation before I put pen to paper with an official complaint.

A reason for the price rise certainly is not an unreasonable request.  Other organisations / suppliers I deal always give one. Unfortunately they are normally not worth the pixels they are written with. BT's started we are improving your service and giving you these other services, none of which I use, before tell me my bill would be going up £2 a month.

Most companies would not tolerate what goes on in this forum as it presents a disgraceful shop window to the world.

Therefore, we conclude CC higher managers either don't read it or don't care so what chance is there of getting meaningful answers to questions asked on here? Might as well go and clean the car instead.

Write your comments here... finally the penny is starting to drop , write to the CC with any concerns that you special members have instead of the constant waffle nonsense that is sadly becoming the norm on almost every post , regarding fee's, charges & whatever the CC seems to do .

If you don't like the way the CC works , the choice is yours.

Write your comments here... If you dont like the CC forum and its members, may I suggest there are alternative forums.

Mind you some are so unused and boring that they resemble the Mary Celeste.

Sefton, I think you are in the wrong Club. C&CC membership is only £37, if you pay on line, maybe other commitments, I don't know and to be honest I don't really care. This is no longer a "club" and hasn't been in all but constitution for a very long time. It is a commercial enterprise, providing and trying to cover costs as best it can for those willing to buy into the scheme. Those who join will have made an informed decision as to whether or not they will get "value for money" from paying in, perhaps from the access to good Club Sites, from the CL network, from the special offers, for aspects that help touring abroad. Only the individual can determine if that payment is of value to them. I don't think the Club will care two hoots about a complaint, because they are giving members the opportunity to get the fees back.

Edit: there are also those who moan and whinge about membership fees, site fees, and other aspects. The bottom line question truly is, why join or remain a member if you are so dissatisfied? It's like buying a ticket for a football team you dislike! Bonkers!

Why is it that whenever someone raises (in my opinion) a very valid point - in this case, that the CC have applied a very significant (in percentage terms) increase to their 'membership' fee - that we always get this chorus of "if you don't like it then don't join"?

Do these people just pay any increase on anything they buy, without complaint? Whether the increase is justified or not?

When petrol / diesel goes up the day after oil went up a few dollars a barrel (when we were told that it takes months for a reduction in oil prices to reach the pumps) - do you just smile and pay it?

Of course people have a right to complain about unjustified increases! And that is all that the op did. They complained that the 'Club' made no attempt to explain this increase to its 'members'.

What other members-club would do that?

Write your comments here...what other club would have it's regular share of moaners , knockers & cliche of posters who always seem to jump in on just about anything & everything

..Just about any club or organisation in the country Wink

It's my stock answer when OH asks if I want to go to a football match! My response is "who are they playing?" Given the price of a ticket, I don't go to watch cloggers, I like quality to yell at!  Wink
