What is the best way to go about getting a refund?

Computers.

The varsity gym here is not on a computerised system. You show/swipe your card to get onto the university's premises; after that it's a free-for-all and you can get into many areas without needing to produce your card again, one of which is the sports complex.

As a result, all student just pay a general facilities levy and everything basic is included. Some other things you need to pay additional fees/subscriptions for, but access to the gym, tennis courts, football and rugby fields, cricket pitch and the pool are included in the basic fees so anyone can go there.

That's not the same. If they made me a meal they've used stock and wasted it.

It's exactly the same. The restaurant didn't waste the stock. you did.

And the gym bought all that equipment for you to use, which you didn't.

You bought and paid for a service which you didn't use. The service was there for you. They didn't deprive you of it. They gave you exactly what you paid for. The fact that you didn't make use of it is not their fault. You are entitled to nothing.

You keep trying to convince us that everyone else is wrong except you. Everyone else isn't wrong. You are. This isn't a matter of principle. It's a matter of contract law. You entered into a legally-binding contract (even if it was due to your own ignorance) and now you must pay for it.

And if you still believe you are right, then you just continue trying to convince the school to give you your money back.

I haven't cost them a penny. Maybe about 20p of some receptionists wage for the amount of time it took her to type my name in a spreadsheet.

omg I can hear the whining from here. Have you done this all your life?

I've had students come to work in our firm that have the same sense of entitlement and after a short lifetime of having mummy and daddy and their teachers and their friends and everyone who just want them to stop whining always giving in, they suddenly run into a wall of opposition. The kind who negotiated bedtime, meals, discipline; the ones who always think their marks should be higher, that deadlines don't apply to them, that they should be paid more and work less. The type who turn into adults who don't think that making an agreement means having to abide by it, who always want the checks split out because they didn't have the dessert or ordered a less expensive entree.

The type of people that one just flees from.

Is this now really about the money, or is it about validating yourself through a win?

I think that learning about the importance of contracts and the advice to be more careful in the future should be worth a lot more than 100 quid.

Now, suck it up and accept that it was you who made the bad decision/error and that it cost you a few pounds.

Get out there and work to make it up. You'll make it back in no time and then you'll realize what a little thing it was in the end.

It was the university. Not the gym.

You're a really unpleasant person.

I don't care if you're giving me advice my family should or whatnot. Firstly, (and thankfully) you're not family, if you were you'd have been basketed down the river long ago.

And secondly, whatever you're trying to do, like I said, theres a right and a wrong way to go about it. It doesn't cost you anything to be pleasant. Perhaps you should try it.

Now the question is...did you know about the gym option, and just not get around to using it,...and now you want a refund? Or, did you really not realize that you paid out an extra amount of money when you wrote out your expenses at the beginning of the year?
