Phyllis at the Madison
September 21, 2007
I've been to this supposedly "upscale" salon several times in the past with average results. The reason I've returned is it is convenient to my home. I had a terrible experience today with the manager/owner "Phyllis" who apparently has no problem letting clients wait as long as an hour for service, with very little apology. Snippy attitude and arrogant beyond belief. Miss Phyllis needs to bone up on Customer Service 101. But hey, word of mouth is priceless, and it will eventually catch up to her. Beware! read full review »

Silkies Enriche
September 21, 2007
Hi Guys I am at the moment contacting the trading standards office, as I too have received a tube of moisturizer/free eye stick from this company, which I certainly DID NOT order, complete with invoice for 13.98. I originally had a free sample of this product a couple of months back, but didn't like it, so I certainly would not have ordered anymore. How is it that this company can then send out an item, not ordered, and demand payment. Have you tried contacting them, the so called Customer Service line 0870 043 4885, is never... read full review »

Victoria's Secret
September 20, 2007
Also before when we order merchandise from Victoria's Secret, they would put a hold on our bank card, and then actually charge the card when the merchandise ships. This is standard procedure for merchants, from what I understand, but there is no law that says this. I placed an order with Victoria's Secret yesterday, and was informed that it will be up to 10 business days until the merchandise ships (a delay in shipping), because they are switching to a new warehousing system. Guess what? The charge for the order posted to our... read full review »

Elance www.elance.com I have hired a programmers/web designers through Elance, online outsourcing company.

The project is 2 months past due and Synapseindia is unable to correct the functionality although a full payment was made.

Paramount Acceptance

I canceled my membership with this company in April because I was moving. I made phone calls and was told I had to pay a sum to cancel my membership. This is normal. I moved but left my old bank account open to finalize other transactions. When I finally closed my account several months later I received a statement which showed that paramount had continually taken money from my account for my gym membership. I had canceled five months prior. I called to find out what had happened. I was told that the last months transaction was not paid... read full review »

Americna Laser Centers, Burbank, CA
September 19, 2007
I am appalled at the way this establishment is run and I have to speak out! The manager, Deanna, is a shocking example of a foul-mouthed street hustler. She is NOT licensed, yet I HAVE SEEN her giving treatments! As a customer who has learned the hard way, I am very concerned for the safety of others. Please do your research regarding the numerous complaints filed against ALC before putting yourself or others in harms way. Please heed this warning!!! read full review »

Checking my caller ID I saw no proof of a call from Domino Pizza. This is very disturbing. What or how can one be compensated for such mismanagement? read full review »

Unfortunately i fell in the trap of one, Dr. Surgeon Fakhr Akhaiiry who claims to be a foreign trained cosmetic surgeon. I had only lines along nose n mouth, and some fine lines in eye circles. To minimize or reduce the lines he did, 4 full face surgeries, 1 eyelid surgery, 1 under chin liposuction, 1 facial liposuction, within a period of abt. 3 years. With each surgery he created some new discrepancies and to correct it, a new surgery. The result is that all my face is destroyed, depressions and bumps have been created on both sides of... read full review »

NutriSystem Nourish www.nutrisystem.com I ordered this system from the TV commercial. When I got it the food was so bad I could barely eat it. All the items that contained any type of tomato sauce tasted sour and seemed like they were spoiled. The chocolates ware all melted because the food has no dry ice or is not kept cool in any way. So the Arizona heat melted it. They should not be able to get away with the advertisement that is on TV. This stuff is terrible. read full review »

Just read Karen's post from 2003 on Jefferson Pilot disability. I just want to say that she is dead on right about them. I had JP insurance thru my employer, and when I became ill my Doctor followed their procedures to certify I was completely disabled. Then the fight began. To make a long story short, I had to fight tooth and nail every inch of the way to get any benefits from them. They will use every crooked, stalling scheme imaginable to keep from paying you- no matter what your doctor or anyone else says. Stay away from Jefferson Pilot period. read full review »
