Well after fighting since December of 2007, I received a “restitution” check from the PA Attorney General today after hearing nothing for over a year. For $349.

When I was owed over $1700 by Pure Weight Loss.

I feel as physically ill now as I did when this all started. I hope everyone involved in that company burns in hell.

Like you, my mother and I both filled out documentation for a complaint for the Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania each in the amount of $1,370.20. As of this date, I have never heard anything back so I just got done sending a message to the Attorneys for the Debtors. Wonder whether they will even respond back to me. While I learned my lesson and will NEVER pre-pay for anything again also, I am quite PISSED and plan to follow up with my inquires since it has been almost a year since the documenation was completed and sent to the Court.

From what I understand: when a company files bankruptcy, all contracts are null & void. There was a class action law suit in Pa., but I don’t know the outcome of that. I lost quite a bit of cash. Prepayment of weeks and products. I filed a complaint with a dollar amount of $1,600. Lesson well learned. I will NEVER prepay for any thing again.

I was due a 50% refund for losing and keeping the weight off – I was given the run around from the office for months after reaching/maintaining my goal weight. Long story short, I was never refunded the money. I can’t find my paperwork after all this time so I don’t even know where to start. This is so frustrating!

Michelle,The class action lawsuit was filed a long time ago. Perhaps if you contact your attorney gernerals office you can get your money back. Luckily, I signed up using Care Credit, I went through Care Credit and got all of my money back. I almost successfully completed the program, had been going for several months, only to drive past and see the store front empty. It’s very sad. Hopefully your state attorney general’s office can help you?

I attended the LA Weight Loss in NC until they abruptly closed in Dec 08 w/ no notification to the clients other than a sign on a locked door. I am owed 20-something weeks of weight loss, 6 weeks of stabilization & 52 weeks of maintenance. i received a phone call by some of the good samaritan counselors last week letting me know we could come pick up the products we were owed yet they were out of most of everything & had no more bars (which i had at least 25-30) boxes bulked owed to me. i appreciated at least the attempt to get me my product, yet i still feel i did not get what was owed to me. I did not know there were such issues going on across the U.S. or i would have never joined. I am fearful that I may never see my money again & am unsure of what actions to take. For anyone in the NC area please contact me if you know of any steps I can take to follow up or if there are any hopes of a class action law suit. I feel we were all victims of a system riddled w/ loop holes taken advantage of by a money hungry corporation/franchise.

I am owed approximately $1500 and 88 boxes of LA lites. I joined January 2005 and lost approximately 5 lbs. I was never contacted by anyone to tell me they were going out of business. I drove up to the store front to drop in for my weekly weigh-in and the door was locked and no one was there. Just a sign saying they were closed. Since I will never recieve my refund or my LA lites…..it’s nice to lnow that I wasn’t the only one who was taken advantage of.
