On July 21,2004 I went to Restaurant for a free dinner plus a 45 minute entertaining and information health presentation, to learn topics [health problems]. As my husband and I have a few of these I was Interested. I went and the room was full. The company was Greentree Health System. They were selling Magnet Mattress pads. Well I ordered one and it cost 898.00 plus 53.00 tax and 45.00 shipping. I was also suppose to get a seat cushion, bed pillow and 2 sets of insoles.
I called about 6 weeks later and was told the orders were way behind. I'd call about once a month and get a answering machine. Somnetime they would call and say it was on back order. I did get the seat in December so I thought I'd get the rest of the stuff soon. When I called in February all the phones numbers were disconnected.
I called the Better Business Burear on 2-18-2005 and they said they would send a letter and let me know if they got a reply. They did tell me they had a lot of complaints. There was one man that did recieve his mattress, but he had to pay extra shipping. I would appreciate anyhelp you can give me. The restaurant that the dinner was held at I have worked ther for 27 years. They were not very happy with the complaints they recieved.

I had my home financed through Origen Financial. At the end of June I received a letter stating that my loan will now be with Green Tree Servicing. This letter also stated that there wil be NO changes in the terms of my loan including the payment amount and that the payment comes directly out of my bank account. The letter further states that if your payment usually comes out of your account the first wek of July (which it does), that it will be taken out the second week of July instead.
With Origen Financial I was on an equity accelerator plan in which I made a mortgage payment every other Tuesday. Green Tree Financial has just deducted a payment from my account on 7/22/08 AND 7/23/08 even though I have otherwise in writing. I called them last week asking why the payment was not taken out the second week of July as the letter stated and was told that the payment had been credited to my account and probably just wasn't showing up on my bank account transaction record yet.
I'm not financially prepared to pay two mortgage payments in two days so this has caused me financial hardship. Besides working for a living, I attend college full-time and have many expenses that come along with college so this is causing me extreme grief and stress financially.

I received an invitation in the mail to attend a 'free' dinner to learn about the benefits of magnetic mattress pads, pillows, and seat cushions. It sounded good so I bought 1 queen size mattress pad, 2 seat cushions and got 2 'free' pillows.
I was supposed to receive a full price rebate after 35 months, if I submitted all proof of purchase as required. I made a notation on my computer calendar so that I wouldn't forget or run out of time. I also made copies of the original papers I had to submit. My rebate was supposed to come from United States Administrative Services Company, 18950 U.S.Highway 441 #102, Mt Dora, Florida 32757 where I sent my required documents by certified registered mail. It was received by Ronald K.Gooding on 6-10-06, over 4 months ago and still no rebate.
I am now 75 years old and I have fibromyalgia which the magnets was supposed to help.They didn't help and probably delayed me receiving proper treatment. I'm out 1,329.12 plus postage of 5.04. I feel like such an idiot for being taken advantage of this way. This 'free'meal really cost me much more than I could afford.

I purchase a twin size magnetic mattress pad. It was suppose to be delivered within 8 weeks but was finally delivered after 5 months.
I'm suppose to be reimbursed in 35 months after going through the necessary steps that was indicated. I called but the number was disconnected. Now I find out that the state of Ohio is trying to sue the company for their neglect.
How are we suppose to know if we are entitled someday for a refund? This company has completely vanished and what about the sales reps and the managers? You mean none of these people can be located?

We purchased 1 queen mattress pad, 1 twin mattress pad & 2 seat cushions which totaled 2,210.94 in May 2003 from Greentree Health Systems.
In July, 2006 I called Cash Back America and they gave me an e-mail address to find out when the rebate would be processed. I tried several times but nobody every replied until yesterday when I got an message saying "Unfortunately Greentree has gone out of business and did not pay for many of the vouchers they issued, so as a result we have to look at each one to verify that it has been paid".
We jumped through all of the necessary hoops to get our rebate 35 months later and now I verified through a google search that they are out of business. Most of the people that wrote in the complaints on Google had dealings with GHS to purchase magnetic items after we did. We were told at the seminar that this was guaranteed cash-back money. No if, ands, or buts.
We are out 2,210.94.

I purchased a magnetic mattress March 20,2003 (voucher #359465) with the understanding I would get a refund in three years if I followed the procedures, which I did. I have been since March 10, 2006 trying to get some information. USAS tells me Greentree did not pay the vouchers. They waited six months to let me know. If there is anything I can do to get in line for this refund, please let me know. I have all the copies and paperwork from this transaction.
Lois of Port Huron, MI September 7, 2006
I purchased the magnetic mattress with the promise that after 35 months I could receive my money back a total of 996.88. It has been 2 weeks since I sent a certified mail to the company asking for my money back. I have not had a returned copy of the certified mail leaving me to believe I probably will not ever hear from them.
Rita of Eastaboga, AL July 28, 2006
I attended a dinner at the Annistonian. I purchased a magnetic car cushion and two pillows. I was promised if I waited three years and followed the procedures I would get all my money back thru a rebate system. I've done everything i was supposed to. I sent all papers in, I have called the company -- they said i would have to contact the holding company which is called Cash Back America Inc. I have emailed several times and get the same responce each time that they are still processing. I don't think i will ever get the rebate.

Attended a promotional dinner for Magnetic therapy products on Feburary 26 2004, at which time we purchased a King size Magnetic Mattress Pad and Magnetic Seat Cushion Special. We paid for these items by credit card that same day. We recieved the items in late April. Our concern now is the refund of our purchase according to the Cashback Voucher. A letter from United States Administrative Services, Inc. tells us that monies were never recieved to honor these vouchers and that makes them void. We have tried to call Greentree with no luck. Phone has been disconnected. Another incident of senior citizen abuse.
