Washington Reaches Settlements with LA Weight Loss Program

J. of Imperial Beach, CA June 20, 2009

LA Weightloss entered into a contract with me, in 2006, to provide services for their weightloss program and rebates when I got to certain parts of their program. After reaching my goal weight,I went on a year's maintenance program. I was supposed to receive a rebate in October 2008 after maintaining my weight 6 months (which I did, weighing in every week at their facility) and a second rebate for the second 6 months in April, 2009 (after working through the phone with their counselors because they closed their doors here.)I have yet to receive either rebate and through their website I e-mailed a request for help on this for the first rebate (which the manager of the facility I went to told me the rebate paperwork was submitted Sept. 2008) and in February, 2009 they contacted me and requested that I fax over copies of my original contract, receipt and rebate form to them.

I faxed everything requested and have never heard from them again. I went over to their facility faithfully for 2 years and 3 months to weigh in, weighed all my food, journaled, etc. as my part of contract. Then they closed their doors, October 2008. Then I was supposed to get a counselor call every week through their "LA On the GO" alternative to closing their doors. After multiple calls with no answers, mailboxes full, etc. I finally got a "live" person and counselors started calling, but counselors changed frequently because LA Weightloss has been closing down their doors across the states. I stopped receiving counselor calls with no notice or explanation. I would ask my counselors every week if they found out anything about my rebate, but of course it was always "No".

I can't beleive they are still advertising on the internet as if they are still legitimate and solvent! They are scamming people all over the US! Look at all the complaints below the LA Weightloss website address!I also checked with the Better Business Bureau and they have multiple complaints against LA Weightloss, which LA Weightloss never addresses or responds to. I understand the corporate office is in Pennsylvania. I utilized the Telegraph Canyon Road, Chula Vista, CA office until it closed. I'm not sure what to put on the address above since it's no longer there.

Joined LA Weight Loss in June 2007. Spent over 1500 in program fees, which included one year of maintanence and rebates and was strong armed into buying bulk supplements for my entire program. Lost the weight to make my goal and began maintanence. Center closed and was told to use the LA on the Go program which is on the phone for support and maintanence but the phone number does not work. They promised I'd get my 400 worth of rebates and it seems I will not.

Obviously, the economic damage of having over six months left of the program and then 400 worth of rebates as my contract indicated I would earn if I maintained my goal. I certainly feel some mental/emotional damage as they left me without support and advice. They basically abandoned all their customers who prepaid for their services.

Mary of West Seneca, NY February 15, 2008


I signed up with LA weight loss 7/06 with a 6-month maintenance period with rebate programs at 2 increments during this period. My maintenance date started 2/17/07 with first check due (156.37) in August, 2007. Staff kept telling me it takes 10-12 weeks to be processed. Unfortunately, this check never was processed; and henceforth, my next and last rebate check was due 12/17/07. It was never processed as they were closing their doors.

I also had been encouraged to pre-purchase their bar supplements to get me through maintenance which I did, and  again I am due 608.42 for the bars that I had purchased. In total, I have been robbed of 921.16. This is outrageous as I had signed a contract and had followed their program and their suggestions to the "T". I have 4 children in college, I work full time to support them, and then to be taken for this much money. I am asking for your support and guidance.
