Horrible

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Paid $1,500 for skincare; staff seemed inexperienced; a peel burned my sensitive skin; clinic bankrupt; financing via Comenity Bank says no refund.

I paid $1,500 for skincare treatments. The staff was very young and seemed very inexperienced and unprofessional.

I should've listened to my instincts but I bought the package anyway since I got what I thought was a great deal on Black Friday. The first time I went the girl burned my face with a peel, even though I had warned her in advance that I have sensitive skin. After that they went bankrupt and I have never been able to recover my money. My package was financed through Comenity Capital Bank and they claim they are not accountable for giving me my money back.

Something is not right here and I want my money back. This is theft.

Loss:
$1400
Cons:
  • Lack of integrity
  • Service
  • Service quality

Preferred solution: Full refund

AI Highlights
  • - I purchased a laser hair removal package over $5,000 and never used it.
  • - Reopened under another name and is described as a scam, seeking funds.

Purchased a package of over $5,000.00 for laser hair removal. I never used it and got it from the finance company they offered there.

I never got my money back. I wish I could meet the owner to spit in their face. This was a great place and had many positive reviews in Virginia Beach Virginia. I feel many military (like my self) were taken advantage of.

I heard they are re opened again under something else. What a scam. If anyone knows how to get a hold of them to get my money back I sure would like the information. I still would like my money back.

I know so many other girls that this happened to. I also think it is ridiculous that they were charging $100.00 just to get our patient records from them.

Loss:
$5900
Cons:
  • Money taken and no services provided

Preferred solution: Offer me my full body package of laser hair removal. whole body.

They did the same thing to me and I’m still trying to figure out how I can either get refunded or get my treatments as promised. There should be a class action lawsuit against these people

American Laser Skincare in Fort Worth, TX owes me $2,250

AI Highlights
  • - Customer says bankruptcy and $2,250 owed for 7 remaining treatments for 2 areas.
  • - Requests refund and class action inclusion; notes Fort Worth address.

Its my understanding that they filed for bankruptcy, but they owe me serves of $2,250. I have the paperwork.

If there is a class action law suit, I want to be included. I want a refund! I purchased velashape, and had 7 remaining treatments, for 2 areas. I would consider, an equitable trade, with related treatments, but only in the close proximity.

I'm talking about the American Laser Skincare, that was at the following address: 800 8th Avenue, Suite 616, Fort Worth, Texas 76104 Old phone number was 817-338-****, It is now a fax number. Internet shows a number of 1-86*-471-****, which is supposedly a different company.

This is the # of the lady, that says that they went bankrupt. NRKT2010@***.com

Loss:
$2250
Cons:
  • No information about closure
  • Being ripped off
  • Owe me money

Preferred solution: Full refund

Bad experience/ scarring/ no results

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - A $300 deal for laser hair removal.
  • - They were talked into 6 or 12 foto facial sessions.
  • - No results; facials blamed for scarring and premature aging.

This company also tricked me with the "$300" winning deal to come in and get laser hair removal. I came in and they also talked me into 6 or 12 sessions of foto facials.

This was back in 2007. I started in coralville, Iowa and finished in Jacksonville, Florida.

My hair removal gave no results nor did the foto facials, and now I am realizing that my sever scarring and premature aging that I thought was acne scarring is actually from the foto facials. If there is any way I can sue this company or get a full refund- I need to do that!

Paying for services never recieved

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Comenity Bank opened a $2500 account; I got half the treatments before it closed, appeal denied, still being charged $1500 for unreceived services.

They opened a charge account with Comenity Bank for $2500. I received half the treatments before they closed without any warning.

Spoke with the bank who said they were aware of the closings and would investigate my complaint. Needless to say they denied my appeal and I'm still on the hook for about $1500 of services I never received . The bank is as bad as the company, at this point I'm being charged huge interest and fees. the BBB knows about the complaints, I'm thinking of filling with the local AG.

This site isn't much help either an one seems to have any answers. This site keeps telling me to make my review at least 100 words and its over that so this is BS too.

Loss:

Pros:
  • Very little

American Laser Center

AI Highlights
  • - Prepaid laser service $2,500 and a $500 gift-card.
  • - Company closed; claims unlimited time to use services and seeks refund and class-action info.

I prepaid for my laser service of $2,500 and in addition my husband also purchased a gift-card of $500 for me from american laser center that i have not yet used toward any treatments. I had to travel out of the country for work immediately after my first treatment and I was told that i have unlimited time to avail the services so i was not worried of coming back and getting the laser treatments.

But now have come back after almost less than one year and they company does not exist. They have closed the business and taken all my money.

I would like my money back. is there a class action lawsuit already filed and can you share the information with me?

DEBT COLLECTORS CALLING ME FOR A REFUND!

AI Highlights
  • - Debt: $2,504 for 1–2 treatments.
  • - Original collectors went out of business; a new agency now threatens suit.
  • - Settlement is around $1,500 after $2,400.

Hi, my wife just got summoned to pay $2,504 when she only got 1 or 2 treatments at MOST. Then these morans went out of business - in the past they try to collect and we explained what happened - the collector was like OK let me get in touch with the client as it could be a mistake - 1 year later we get this letter saying that they will sue us and it turns out its from another Collection Agency with some lawyers with them I live in ILLINOIS is there any advice, next steps I SHOULD DO? They are trying to settle but I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY DAM NEAR 1,500 to get this issue resolved when they initially wanted over $2400!!

To All,

I also have been sued by a collection agengy lawyer, even though I too paid $2500 and received no services. They took a small balance and tacked on a lot of fees to make it a lot more.

When you are sued they must file in a court in your local residence, usually the Justice of the Peace in your county. You should plead your case to the JP giving full detail of the situation and you should ask the JP to dismiss the claim. Many JP's have dismissed the lawsuit. It depends on you getting your information truthfully to the JP and the JP accepting your plea for your case.

When you receive the lawsuit papers, right a 'letter of answer' to the JP court it is filed at explaining everything. Then the JP will followup. It is best to do this rather than ignore the lawsuit and not fight for your case. If you ignore it the JP may have no other choice to rule in favor of plaintiff collection agency.

You have a better change when you fight it. Also do not contact the collection agency or the lawyers at all. Do not offer to pay them anything. If you contact them and try to negotiate a settlement or pay them anything, all that does is refreshes the debt giving it a new date they will use to take on 7 more years of collection harrassement.

Let it die out at the credit bureau from it original date of purchase. Only deal with the JP if you get sued.

i am dealing with the same ***. they double charged me i paid the original amount owed, they never changed the amount on the online billing, charged interest when it was "interest free" for 12 months now i am being sued after i paid and they filed bankruptcy and now a 3rd party is suing me for more than the original charge after all of this???

American Laser Skincare Laser Hair Removal Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Money owed

AI Highlights
  • - -One microdermabrasion gift cert is unused.
  • - -Skin tightening plan started; only part used.
  • - -Scheduling was difficult due to distance; I seek a partial refund.

I purchased several gift certificates for microderm abrasion and had one left to used but unable to get the service. I also had purchased a plan for skin tightening and only used part of it.

I am very upset that I can't be reimbursed. I had difficulty with scheduling because I live a distance away and the receptionist was often short with me and unable to work things out. I really want to do something to get at least part of my money back.

I need to be able to pay for those services from some other vendor now that I can't get them with American Laser Center. I hope you can help me.

Class action suit

AI Highlights
  • - Comenity Bank is still pursuing payment; a dispute can be filed with them.
  • - FDIC letters won't help; a class action may be needed for reimbursement.

Commenity bank is the lender therefore they are still looking for their payment regardless if we are receiving services or not. You can file a dispute with Commenity bank however Im not sure how far this will get you.

This is what I was told when I called customer service at commenity. As far as writing to the FDIC, this will not work. A class action suit is what we will need to see any kind of reimbursement.

If we use this site as a forum hopefully there will be some kind of a resolution. Keep looking here for updates as I will be contacting a lawyer.

I recently applied for Thousands of dollars in credit for services I have paid towards but have not received yet.It is an extremely frustrating and stressful process trying to get this resolved thru Comenity Bank as they are referring us to talk to a company that went out of business without warning.
