LA Weight Loss rip-off, center closed, no refund, should be sued
July 10, 2008 by admin
“I paid A LOT for my LA WEIGHT LOSS MEMBERSHIP and had a few months left. I had some stressors and stopped going for a few months, then decided to get jump started now that summer is here. Went to the store, and was shocked to see there was no sign, the store was empty, no sign on the door, and then I called and the phone rang and there was not even a message! And to think that last week I received a card in the mail to “Come back to LA for free”! I know the stores in Illinois closed, and I am over the border in Wisconsin. Right before I left, the store hours changed twice, and corporate was in there. I had a bad feeling about it and that also made me stop going. I am mad,feel like I got taken for a ride, and wonder how many may have just joined and got ripped off! These people need to be sued!”

I was a member of LA Weight Loss at Vincennes, IN. I had been making payments through CareCredit & next month would be paying the final $50. I hadn’t been in for awhile due to family illiness & today after driving an hour to get there, the building was empty! I called the realtor that was on the sign to ask if they had just moved or closed the business & he said they had left in a matter of hours! I should have known something was up, first they were out of the bars, then they didn’t have any of the food diaries, & when i left last time i told them it might be awhile before i got back in & they said, “no problem, just call before you come in.” I think this is a big ripoff & everyone should be reimbursed!!!

Contact Care Credit as soon as possible. Be prepared to provide them with documentation of your payments. Members have had good luck getting refunds from them.
Search here and on the ‘net for the news story of their closing. You might need to include a copy or at least reference it in your claim.
Be happy it’s only $50… and you’ll probably be getting it back. Others aren’t so lucky!
