(FranchisePick.com) FranchisePick.Com readers report that their attempts to recover refunds due to them from the bankrupt Pure Weight Loss company have added insult to their injury - and additional mailing costs as their refund applications are being returned. Here are a few comments posted in recent days:
Hi I joined them in dec end and they shut in two weeks , i owe them the whole year lites , I sent them a refund form thrice but everytime it has come back to me….. has some one got the same problem? Has anyone got there money back??? Jan 31, 8:27 AM Sakshi
Well, sorry to say i was right in my fears…Like some others of you’ve written, I got my certified envelope returned to me marked undeliverable and can’t be forwarded. I tried repeatedly today to reach the customer service number that I had gotten back in Dec. when I heard about the impending closing, but all i got were lots of busy signals. Suffice it to state, I’m not a happy camper, and i thank those of you who gave contact info. to Attorneys General, etc. Jan 30, 8:22 PM Marilyn
first they left us high and dry, then they tell us to fill out this “form” for a refund, WHICH I DID, ( I’m sure all the clients did,) only to have it “RETURN TO SENDER”, “UNABLE TO FORWARD”, again the client of pure have been FLIM-FLAMED, HOODWINK and/or BAMBOOLZED or what ever you want to call it, it’s all the same SHAME ON YOU, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

I sent a certified letter as it states to do on the Pure Weight loss website requesting a refund. They owed me 8 boxes of lites and I had only been in the program for a short period of time and felt they owed me part of my registration fees back. My letter was returned saying undeliverable. WHAT A SCAM!!! Terrible thing to do to people. We are a one income family. My money could’ve gone to other things. Jan 30, 2:59 PM Michelle Boyero
Not only have we lost money on what they owe us, but now we’re all sending letters “certified” and having to pay for that too, to only get them back in a few weeks marked “undeliverable”. Someone stated they opened under a different name…PureMedLoss???. How does this happen? where is the Better Business Agency????? Jan 30, 12:46 PM judy
I sent my refund form 3 weeks ago, I got no response and had the certified mail sent back to me saying it was undeliverable!! I called the post office to find out why they were unable to send it he stated that they were not there anymore, so don’t waste your time with the refund form its just a run around giving you hope that you might get your money back, but will NOT!! I am very upset and it is terrible what they’ve done to so many people. Jan 29, 1:44 PM P.C
I sent my refund application in on Jan. 10 2008. I sent it certified and return receipt requisted. It was returned to me on Jan 25 stating it wasn’t deliverable as addressed. It was the same address as was on the form. They owe me $255.20. Jan 29, 9:40 AM debbie
