To the Franchise owner in Calgary:

Having read this blog – how do you feel about the comments and experiences that LAWL clients post on this and most other blogs. I mean, it’s all negative – rarely do I find anything positive about LAWL on line. How can you grow your business if your clients have such negative experiences? I am a client at a Calgary LAWL centre – and when I signed up the gal asked me why I think that LAWL asks for upfront payment. I was dead honest and said that obviously the business plan it to get payment so that when people quit the company still makes money. I guess it’s true. If Judy isn’t for real – think about the fact that someone made such an effort to spread a rummor that the Western Canada centres are closing.

I am glad to hear you say that there are no planned closures in Calgary – but let me ask – would you really give your clients notice of closure and would you offer any rebate of funds paid for services or product if you were to close?

Maybe you should address this with your clients – be proactive – don’t wait for them to read this stuff on line. Deal with it upfront and gain some respect as a business.

This is the franchise owner of LA Weight Loss in Calgary responding to your comment on this blog. We are not closing. The information on the centers closing that this person posted above is inaccurate information. We have been in business for several years and will continue to operate in the following markets that you list in your comment, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We also do not have an employee by the name of Judy.

Regards,

Franchise Owner of Calgary

Hi,
I’m not happy to be writing this, but I’m an employee of L A Weight Loss in Calgary. The owner of our company informed us yesterday that they are going to be closing all their centres(through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba). I’m going to be out of a job at this horrible time. Also, my clients are going to end up losing their money, like the other people who posted comments on this board. I’m devastated about this, particularly as I just sold someone a program just this past week.This is just not right.
If you are planning on visiting L A Weight Loss, DO NOT PREPAY. You will lose your money.
And if you doubt what I’m saying, then just ask the owners directly. Hopefully they will be open to the clients about their plans too.

I’m in Fresno, CA. I was switched to On the Go, which didn’t work-you have to call/be called at specific times-didnt work, which is why the center did (better hours of availablity). I have never received any rebates and cannot find a number to contact the On the Go center-had it but lost it. I did receive some bars, but still owed 27 boxes and 2 rebates. Anyone have the center’s number?

Is there any repercussions for products/services owed to people. They owe me over $800 in products. Is there an avenue for getting any of this money back?

Has anyone successfully received a refund or the pre-paid products owed to them? If so, how? Has there been any talk of a national civil litigation? I’m in.
