American Laser Skincare - Mistreatment!

I am a patient at American Laser Centers, I purchased a Vela shape package of 6 at the Carmel, In location one month ago. I first sat down and spoke with the clinic manager Ruthy she seemed very fun and energetic at first but as the consult went by she became very talkative and shuddering her words, at that time I should of known she was lieing to me. I started to get very uncomfortable and just wanted to get out of there. So she sold me on the vela package, MAN she talked so fast I said to myself she should work for a car dealership. After I paid for my package with carecredit she promised me that my abdomen will become completely flat and my flanks will be gone after two tx's. So I believed her, but after 4 tx's I seen no results so I called the clinic on 3-1-08 and spoke with her assistant, so she claimed I can't remember her name, she put me on hold, but I don't think she realized that she did not push the hold button. She spoke with someone regarding my situation she called me a complaining # and said this # wants her money back. So I did not say anything once she got back on the phone, she told me I'm sorry, but the clinic manager is not here right now, I knew she was lieing because she called ruthy's name. But to make this disturbing complaint short. I called customer service and told them what happened the lady on the phone was shocked and said I will make sure someone get back with you ASAP, but I am still waiting This company is a total rip off and full of it those girls need to be fired and kicked out. All I want is my money back I refuse to go back to the Carmel clinic and any other clinic at American Laser Centers!

This is MY MANUAL BOOK FOR KICKING ### AGAINST AMERICAN LASER CENTERS:

In May 2008 I went to American Laser Centers in Santa Rosa, California.

I was told about this company because my friend gave me his $300 coupon he won at a fair.

Long story short. I too signed the contract. The next day I was feeling I was being charged too much for only 6 appointments = + $5, 000

I talked with a friend who said you should not be paying in advanced.
His example was: If you go to the dentist, get a haircut, dr. appt = you pay as you go-- NOT in advanced.

I called to cancel my laser appointment. No work or services were ever done to me.

I was then told I had to pay the 10% administration fee. (I was furious! = + $500)

I told the laser people under the California law according to the “State of California Department of Consumer Affairs, The Consumer Transaction with Statutory Contract Cancellation Rights there is a three-day no fault cancellation.”
[http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/legal_guides/k-6.shml]

American Laser Centers would NOT honor this Law!

I then consulted my friend who is a business person.

That DAY I DID THE FOLLOWING—

This is The MANUAL BOOK FOR KICKING ### AGAINST AMERICAN LASER CENTERS:

(REMEMBER: ALWAYS BE professional and business like in your letters.)

1.) Called my CareCredit number [protected] CLOSED the account over the phone. WRITE DOWN YOUR CONFIRMATION NUMBER!

Contacted BBB of Detroit & Eastern Michigan

7.) I sent a certified letter to the location of where I went to American Laser Centers. I told them to: Cancel my contract and services.

8.) I emailed the office manager of American Laser Centers of the location that I went to. Look at your paperwork for the business card and the email address. Tell the office manager you want to cancel your treatments and services.

9.) I emailed Customer Services at American Laser Centers:
EMAIL: CustomerService@alcpartner.com
PHONE: [protected]

10.)I went to Small Claims in my area for extra help. Do a Google search with the name of the county of the state that you live in and “small claims” for the location. BRING ALL YOUR PAPERWORK including your contract!

MOST IMPORTANT: Keep copies of all your letters, your certified mail receipts, correspondents, emails…!

BE Business like!

Good luck! Think positive!
Please write your letters!

P.S. At first I did not want to write the letters. I was feeling like I was causing too many problems. That was until I was told I had to pay $500 + for no services or treatment.

Do your BEST!

The same thing just happend to me. I bought a package of 4 treatments. They were telling me Id be able to go and get new clothes by the 4th treatment. I got no results at all. They told me there is a no refund. What should I do. I am a single mom and $2000 is a whole lot of money to me.
