LA WEIGHT LOSS: Adding Insult to Injury in Columbia, TN

Kandi was a new member of the LA Weight Loss center in Columbia, TN. She claims that she not only suffered the injury of having the center close abruptly 2 weeks after she joined, she also had the added insult of her refund check being cancelled.
Writes Kandi:

The Columbia, TN site closed as well. I was only a member for 2 weeks when they closed. I complianed enough that they refunded me a portion…. then they CANCELLED THE CHECK!!!!!! LA Weightloss is a horrible company and I hope they all close.

Allie writes:

I was a client at the New Bern Store up until Feb when I had to leave for Maturnity. The Center closed shortly after… I was then told to correspond with the Jacksonville store, which I did stating that I wanted a refund. They told me that it was processed and that it would take anywhere form 30 to 90 days. It has now gone pass the 90 day mark. The Jacksonville store is closed and Corp LA Weight loss claims that they are not responsible for these centers because they didn’t receive any funds from them. I Want my money! What Am I suppose to do? Are there any other people out there that are trying to get some direct answers?

I was also a client at LA Weight Loss and probably like others I had paid all my money up front. I paid for a year supply of LA Bars that I guess I wil never get. The total of these bars was $1,000 for a year which was quite pricey. I was wondering who I could contact to get help? Thanks

We wish we had better answers for you. Stay tuned… we are trying to get some answers. If you have any insights, please leave a comment below.

LA WEIGHT LOSS: Multiple Centers Close in KY

More customers at L.A. Weight Loss centers in central Kentucky are reporting closures.

We’ve learned that the Frankfort store is now closed. Members there were told to go to the two Lexington locations instead, but both of those have shut down as well.

Members say they’re concerned about how they’ll be refunded for pre-paid services…

“I went in there yesterday to do my normal weigh in, and the door was locked; the lights were off,” says Morrow.

After contacting the fitness program’s district manager, Morrow says she and other confused members were told the two Lexington L.A. Weight Loss centers were shutting down, and it was unclear how and if they would be refunded their money…

However, Morrow says she was already given some options for her time and money lost, but it didn’t include money back.

“She also suggested that maybe we take what fund we were due out in product as a trade out, but at this point, I don’t need any product, just the service promised,” says Morrow.

Morrow says she spent $2,000 on the program but credits it for helping her lose 60 pounds.

“My feelings are hurt because I had been doing so well, and I wanted to finish it,” says Morrow.

So far members tell us they haven’t received any written notice about a closure
