Dennis, I HAVE placed numerous calls to your office. I have left four messages and sent two e-mails, none of which have received responses. If you'll take a moment, you'll see there are two other reports filed against your company with the same complaints. Most people would consider this cause to re-evaluate their approach instead of trying to blame the consumer. You still cling to your little claim that you recorded phone calls--well hurray for you. You still don't and won't address the facts that you: * snatched money quickly--even before the 30-day evaluation was up * made things difficult to obtain refunds by creating hoops for people to jump through * violate the spirit of your "money-back, satisfaction guaranteed" policy * never gave the $200 in free offers you said you would * do not reply to numerous phone calls or e-mails, despite claims on your company's website you'll reply within 24 hours Don't you think it's time you re-evaluated your policies? I think anyone reading this would agree.

Mark, I have asked you to call me directly. Why won't you? If ANYONE wants to here Mark's recording, please call me directly and you will see where he is mistaken. Mark, just call me.

It is not a matter of making things clear or my supposed misunderstanding. The point is all the hoops one has to jump through. I have an e-mail that states I talked with a "Denise" at their office and--gee!--there was never any mention of having to return any package of information. I forgot to mention, too, that there were supposedly $100 gift certifcates for free gas and long distance that were ours just for trying out the membership regardless whether we stayed or not. Those were sent in but I have never recieved those services either. Or did I have to send those in while facing East with one eye closed? Regardless of what Dennis says, one would think that he would gladly refund the money to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Isn't the SPIRIT of his "policy" to refund money to people who decide his services are not for them? Or is it his intent to withhold monies by making it nearly impossible to obtain refunds unless you jump through numerous hoops? First my refund would be issued within 30 days, then the next time I called it was 30 business days, now it's I have to send back a standard information package that contained no information that could be considered proprietary. Come on! Anyone with any sense can see what is happening. He grabbed money and now wants to hang on to it. I do notice that people at his office have suddenly disappeared. I have tried three times since this report was filed a week or so ago and have not been able to get a response. I have left two messages and an e-mail. Nothing. I do notice their line for accepting new business has no trouble though.

Mark is sadly mistaken. We tape each and every sale. Mark, please call me directly and I will play back the recording of your voice giving us permission to debit the funds. In addition, the tape recording clearly states how the monies will be coming out of the account and what the refund process is. Further, we tell people that the lines of credit are being offered by two of our benefit providers to generate sales for their business. This is just a case of someone who didn't understand wehat was clearly stated.
