Another Fine Mess!
On 28th February I received the following email from CCHQ Membership department. This was the first reminder of my membership subscription. To date no membership certificate has arrived in spite of the fact that having telephoned CCHQ immediately I paid by Barclaycard. Incidentally, in the old days before CCHQ got involved with Party membership members were always given 3 months grace to renew their subscription before having their membership cancelled!
“We’re contacting you regarding your membership of The Conservative Party. Unfortunately, we have been unable to process your last payment.
There are many possible reasons for this. For example, you may have received a new card from your bank, or your card or bank mandate may have recently expired.
To update your payment information, please contact us as soon as possible. That way, we can ensure your continued membership.
You can get in touch by calling us on 020 7984 8036, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. Remember to quote your membership number: *********
If you do not update your payment information before 09/03/2024, your membership will be automatically cancelled.
Please note, we may have already sent a membership certificate to your address – please do not take that as confirmation of payment.
Thank you for all that you do as a member. Your support is vital to our success.”
Imagine my surprise when I received the following email on 15th March. I await with deepest breadth as to what happens next. Is there any competent department at CCHQ?. Perhaps an elected Party Chairman accountable to the members would sort it out!
Dear John
Your membership renewal is coming up 24/02/2024 but don’t worry – you’re set to renew automatically.
Your payment plan for your next membership year is:
Standard Membership for Beaconsfield | £39.00 |
Your next payment of £39.00 will be taken around 24/02/2024.
Thank you for your continued support.
If you require any assistance, please contact the CCHQ Membership Team
Kind regards,
Sean Duckworth
Head of Membership
I had a similar problem and wondered at first if it was a scam!
ReplyDeleteI paid by phoning BCCA in the end. Still have not received membership card from CCO.
