My employer paid the membership fee and all contacts were also through my employer. After my retirement, the employer reported in writing that the membership was being terminated. In December I apparently received an email from the organization stating that if I did not respond, the membership would be automatically extended and that I would then have to pay the invoices myself. I did not respond to that and no reminder email was sent. Now I have received an invoice for my membership for 2018. But I cannot have become a member without explicitly stating this and signing?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nIf you have not received the email from the interest group, they will have to prove this. If they do not succeed, you are not obliged to pay the contribution. If they do succeed, the membership will be automatically extended without a signature being required. I advise you to write to the interest group stating that you have not received an email and that you were also entitled to rely on the written statement of termination by your employer.\n\n For more information or assistance, please feel free to contact me directly and without obligation.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you very much for the clear answer. I had already sent a message. I will wait for their response and then I can be well prepared. They indicate in their letter that they do not have my email address and my email via the employer has been taken offline as of September 1. So I cannot have received any mail.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004697264477,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-61460-voor-mijn-pensionering-sept-2017-was-ik-via-mijn-werkgever-lid-van-een-belangenorganisatie-mijn","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
