Brian Wieland - Multifit Took my money, didn't deliver until the police dropped by, bounced refund check, substandard damaged goods delivered, further requests for refund ignored Mississauga Ontario
I found this character on the web through a Google search. I sent through a personal check for $172 CDN for a set of training wheels and postage costs. I heard nothing for weeks. email requests for information were ignored.
He then started saying he had mailed them, but would not produce any shipping data. After a few months of constant emailing, he sent me a shipping document which was not stamped by Canada Post, ie. nothing was sent (Canada Post had no record of the tracking number). After not receiving anything for many more weeks, I contacted the Peel police to report this company as fraudulent.
The police went around to his property and ordered him to write a refund check to me, which I received in week or so. I cashed it, but was amazed to get a letter from the bank 3 weeks later which informed me that there were insufficient funds, and I was lumped with substantial bank charges for the unhonored check. Not happy at this stage, as I now paid over $250 and received nothing.
A few more rather colorful emails followed after which he eventually sent me a tracking slip which showed he had posted something. Well 6 weeks later something did arrive: an old rusted, used wheel missing the ball bearings from the hub and not connected to the hub, and one shaky new wheel. Basically unusable. I complained bitterly again and he sent another wheel which arrived 3 weeks later.
I finally attached them to the bike, my wife got on, the wheels bent at the joint and she almost fell off. A few heated conversations with my wife ensued. Quite substandard garbage I have been sent.
I emailed him back with photos showed the substandard quality. I demanded a refund, and if he wanted the wheels back, then to send postage costs as well. This he refused, saying I must send them back first. What a joke! After almost a year of lies, costs and frustration, I must spend MORE money with NO guarantee of a real refund that won't bounce?
This guy is BAD business! Do not buy anything from him, your money will go into a black hole.

Ingrid,
As you have seen, the web site (RipoffReport.com) has the goal to help consumers... we will require a check for $30,000 made payable to badbusinessbureau.com. Once this mailing goes out, and all the reports are UPDATED in a positive light by either HY Cite refunding their money or by stating Hy Cite tried to refund and the author of the report was either a disgruntled employee..etc etc?
Once all the Reports are updated, we would receive an additional $20,000 with in 5 days of the last Report being UPDATED, we would notify you by e-mail . We will notify Ingrid (or whoever you designate) of this, and would expect the payment to be sent over night mail to a designated address at that time?
ALSO (additional cost) :
badbusinessbureau.com is willing to assist in any investigation or complaints about your company, and willing to explain your willingness to comply as we truthfully see it. You may have prospective customers and possible franchises call us..

Thanks to Ed at Ripoff Report.com I've lost my part time business which was my ONLY source of income, I lost two important orders that would have saved my business so I got some legal advice and there is a collection agency in Arizona that I'm sending my case to, and I'm attaching the forms that show what I lost. Keep in mind that Ed still wants $8000.00US+ for his arbitration program and that I was denied his CAP program because I'm in Canada.

1) The customer kept changing his mind as to whether or not to keep the wheels or just get a
refund.
2) I sent the refund check BUT because the post date on the check was NOT honored, naturaly
the check bounced, I did inform the customer of this but did not do any good.
3) Those two police officers that arrived at my business FAILED to give any OFFICIAL I.D. plus
I did notify the local police station about those two officers and there was NO record of their
visit.
4) I will be resending the refund to the customer, but this time I'm leaving Ripoff Report out of
it, they have done enough damage to my soon to be former business.
5) Access to Canada Post information is VERY limited outside Canada, if you don't believe me
call them yourselves 1-888-550-6333. I tryed telling the customer this as well but did not
believe me.

Note on Qualification:
· Fees for enrolling in the program are based upon the number of Reports filed and in some cases, the number of offices you have. Additionally, there is a flat set-up fee to offset the costs associated with programming and contract legalities. Rate sheets will be sent upon completion and verification of the intake questionnaire.
· If participation in this program would honestly create a financial hardship, but you desire to participate, we will work with you to find a way to make it work. This may require providing financial documents proving hardship.
The IRS will hear about this........

I saw a photo of the wheels I sent to him and they did not look like that, but I don't care anymore.
Multi-Fit will soon be out of business thanks to Ed the owner, and yes I will resend this guys refund now that I know where he lives now.
Just wish to ad one thing about ROR's arbitration rules, I'm very much questioning whether or not it's legal so I'm forwarding the forms to various law firms & to a couple of highly respected judges.
Keeping a post up AFTER a business fails and is gone, does that sounds right or even legal? Should I made some mistakes while in business be to KILL someone’s business totally, is that ROR true mission????? If you wish not to place this update onto your website well don't worry there are other websites that would be glad to take this.

A senior! - what a cheek- I'm probably younger than him...Of course I had a hard time inderstanding how the product worked! Because it didn't! It was used, rusted, broken junk! Liked it? Ha Ha Ha! It ended up in the trash can.
The report I posted is factual, I have the compete email history: Anyone who needs to see it, just let me know.

Adrian is a senior from the UK who was having a hard time understanding how my product worked, in the end he really liked the product. The reason the cheque bounced was because I send a "Post Dated" cheque was was NOT honored. I called Peel Police about the two lady officers that paid me a visit, well they have NO RECORD of that visit. Police Officers are supposed to indicate their names well these ones did not and there was no police car anywhere. The FTC has a copy of this as well as other authorities in the US & Canada. And Adrian kept changing his mind everytime I e-mailed him. Did Ripoff Report forget to tell you all of this??

This customer was very confused as to what he wanted, at first he wanted his money back then he wanted to keep the wheels, then he wanted to keep the wheels & wanted his refund, BOTH. So he got both in the end. You cannot track Canada Post from the UK I tryed telling him that. I sent a POST DATED check to him but he did not honor the post date that's why the check bounced. Those Police Officers that came to my door did not have the information correct at all.
Again ROR did not do a follow up on this case they just assumed everything, I can prove all of this.
