Mayo Clinic
On October 12, 2001 I went into the Mayo Clinic, (St. Luke's Hospital) Jacksonville, Florida for open-heart surgery. I was told I would be in there for six days.
Due to a careless mistake the Mayo punctured my stomach in two places. I was their involuntary guest for almost five weeks. While in the Mayo one of my lungs collapsed, I contracted MRSA, peritonitis, pneumonia and my gall bladder stopped working. When I went home it was as a decrepit invalid with drainage bottles hanging from me, infected with invasive candidiasis (from... read full review »

Momentum Direct - PermaSlim
I tried a "Free" trial offer of PermaSlim from Momentum Direct. They stated in writing if I felt the product was not for me, simply send back the bottle w/n the 2 week trial period & I would not be charged. Nothing to lose and NO RISK! They advertised. I sent the bottle back well before the 2 weeks were up. My checking acct was debited for $49.95 a couple of weeks later. I called and was assured the acct was closed and I would receive a refund. I never rec'd a check so I called on 1-7-07 and again was assured the acct wa... read full review »

Read your paperwork Entirely before signing. I purchased a membership but unfortunately I was injured at work and had to discontinue the membership. But when I tried to stop my membership and get a refund, following there explicit rules to discontinue my membership due to health reasons, I supplied medical reports from Doctors and Specialists that they asked for and after faxing them and bringing them into the facility. I was given a bunch of garbage from the management and was denied any refund and had to pay for something I could no longer... read full review »
Joliet Smile World Inc.
Doctor tried to fix a tooth that was not fixable which had nerve damage and told him to pull the tooth...he convinced me to do a root canal, and crown. He then had to extract the tooth and still charged me for a full root canal $775 plus around $300 for the extraction. I told several people the story and my sister said he did that to her too! He also bought a bottle of ageless extra from me and never paid me the $40.00....what a tightwad! read full review »
Perkinson, W B Jr Dds & Associates Ltd
I have been a life time patient with this practice. Specifically for the last 10 years with Dr. Roper. My son recently went to Dr.
Roper with complaints of sore gums. He was informed he needed to have all 4 wisdom teeth out. They set up an appointment for over a month later(which they said was the soonest they could do the surgery). The day before my son's surgery appointment, I received a phone call from Dr. Roper's office confirming the appointment. Then asked what I planned to pay them at the appointment. My estimated patient... read full review »
USN - Ultimate Shopping Network
I purchased a 2 carat diamond solitaire ring for $4,999.00. They charged my credit card but never delivered. When I finally got through to them on the phone all I could get is the run around by an off shore answering service that it would be delivered in 3-5 business days.
It's been 2 weeks. I called their corporate office and someone there said they didn't have any more and had already refunded the total to my card. that's been a week now and still no refund to the card. Visa said don't worry they would reverse the... read full review »
Bella Voi Radiant Skin Centers
I have a $700.00 gift card that I haven't used from Bella Voi that I received from my husband for my birthday. Now the store has up and disappeared. We don't have that kind of money. With 2 toddlers, I wasn't feeling well about myself so my husband tried to treat me to nice skin. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do?
Anyone else out there screwed from this company? read full review »
Classy Valley Grooming
I ordered a pet treadmill from Paws Treadmill in November of 2006. When it arrived the wheels and underside was cracked and severely damaged. We tried to turn it on to check the treadmill itself only to find that it would not work at all.
I called the company to take it back. After being hung up on several times by Kevin he finally issued a return from Fed Ex. I had to pay for shipping and a 25% restock fee for something that never worked in the first place.
He was extremely rude over the phone during this whole ordeal. He hung up on... read full review »
Firebird Arts and Music of Oregon
In August, I ordered, via the internet, one CD from Firebird Arts & Music, PO Box 30268, Portland, OR 97294 for $22.50. My VISA was double billed for this purchase, an 8/9 transaction posted on 8/10 and an 8/15 transaction posted on 8/16. Despite repeated emails and regular mail, the only response I have had was asking if I received 2 CDs. I emailed them "no" in November, and since the have had no response to my continued efforts to contact them. I have no idea whether this is a single instance of unethical behavior, or whether this company is in the habit of ripping off the public. read full review »
La Spina Salon - Mahopac, NY
I had a horrible experience at La Spina Salon located in Mahopac, NY. My hair was ruined. I went in for a highlighting and they turned my hair a horrible mixture of yellow and reddish tones.
I knew something was wrong when my scalp starting burning. They didnt seem to concerned that I was horribly upset with the outcome. They were just interested in getting payment. After I asked them, they said I could come back to try to fix it but I am scared they will make it worse. It was the most horrible experience of my life. Their lack of... read full review »

I had a procedure done in 6/06, received bill and paid in full in 10/06. received another bill with the exact same date and codes only appeared twice and the bill had obviously been added twice.

See's Candies, Inc.
I was buying a box of chocolate lollypops at the same price of a box already made up. The price went up to $.60 from $.55 when sold separately. But seeing I eat one a day to keep my craving of chocolate to a minimum, I buy the whole box. Last time I paid $13.75 for the made up box, and today they wanted $18.75. I was aghast.
If the price does not go down, I will have to look elsewhere for my craving habit. They were $.50 not too long ago. The price keeps going up. But my allowance doesn't and I am a senior, senior, so that is why I... read full review »
My Shoe Store
In October I ordered shoes on line, and never rec'd. them. My Visa card was charged. I called the phone number on their website, but it never was answered, nor were my emails.
My further frustration has been dealing with the credit card bank-Bofa--long hold times, then getting tossed off--unable to find the right department--more long hold times. Still have not resolved this charge. read full review »
The Karat Patch Jewellers
A watch had its battery replaced. The back was broken. The jeweler, Frank Poissant owner of the Karat Patch refused to even discuss the damage to the watch. He was hostile, abusive, insulting and unprofessional.
***
I brought a 1 year old designer digital watch (Diesel) in for a battery replacement. I had been to several watch repair places who said the replacement was too complicated for them to do.
At the Karat Patch I explained that this watch was waterproof. The clerk accepted the repair, and replaced the battery.

Internet Research Associates aka GuestProfessor.com
On December 13, 2006, I signed on with an Internet company calling itself “Internet Research Associates” to write articles. The fellow with whom I had all contact went by the name of Clark Covington, whom I also believe has a pseudonym of Clark Venable.
The pay for this work was very poor, $35 for 10 400-500 word articles, but I decided to do it short term to dust off and sharpen writing skills that had been largely dormant after an extended period of time doing medical and legal transcription. I am a freelance writer and... read full review »
IHOP
In the beginning of Jan 7 I have found a bunch of coupons for IHOP restaurant “Buy One Breakfast get one free” in our local newspaper. On 1/13/07, my husband and I decided to go to IHOP for a breakfast since we had the coupons and it seemed like a good deal. It is clearly stated in the coupon, to show it before ordering, and we did it. In response server said that we have to show it at the end when we pay. After having a breakfast my husband went to pay a bill to the cashier, and was rudely suggested to come back to the table and... read full review »
Motherhood Maternity
Two days after Christmas I went into the Motherhood Maternity Store at Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, Georgia. I spent a little time browsing around and came a really cute dress on a clearance rack. The first one I picked up happened to be my size and the price tag said $12.99. I loved it and the price was right so I made a beeline to the dressing room to try it on and see how it looked. I was very excited that I had found something that fit well and at a great price so I took it up to the desk to pay. As the, I assume, manager began to... read full review »
Amazon Diet
The same thing happened to me as in the other e-mail. I ordered a product and returned it within the time to discontinue any more charges and they charged my account twice in September and October and I called seven times with no satisfaction just a run around with different numbers telling me to call another number. I have e-mailed them with copies of their fraudulent charges to no avail. They need to be put out of business. I will continue and contact the better business bureau. read full review »

I ordered a tshirt which was supposed to have personalization and a picture on it as a birthday gift.
My shirt arrived with no personalization on it just the picture but according to my invoice and order,
there was supposed to be personalization on the shirt.

wrong and the company will not redo the order or refund the shirt since it... read full review »
Dave's Gourmet Albacore - Santa Cruz, Ca
I ordered 30 cans of gourmet salmon and tuna from Dave's Albacore in Santa Cruz, Ca. When the box arrived (in perfect condition), and I opened it, I found 26 cans were dented. When I called to tell them and to ask for a re-shipment, they said, "We don't ship dented cans!" I was surprised at their tone, but calmly said, "Okay ..... but nevertheless, they are dented." They told me it was the fault of UPS - that the UPS man must have a man named "Larry" told me that the UPS workers re-packed them. He said they do... read full review »

Colorado Heart and Body Imaging
After almost 8 months of silence, Dr. James Ehrlich sent several e-mails threatening legal action instead of offering to resolve the problems I've explained. Of course, Dr. Ehrlich has no legal case because I talked about what happened and how badly they treated me! Dr. Ehrlich appears to follow this strategy: After his scanning center causes a patient pain and suffering, you and your staff blame the patient, then threaten to sue the patient for telling the truth about how they were treated!
His December e-mails included false claim... read full review »
Pocono Fitness & Relaxations
This is a con operation. On 6th Oct 2006, they came to repair my treadmill, collected $185 and told me that they will come by to replace the part for which they collected the money. That was the last I heard from them. Phone calls are not returned. On threatening legal action they say that they have sent the part but cannot give any tracking details (saying that they have misplaced it). $185 is no big deal but just wanted to put this up so that no body else is cheated. read full review »
Walgreens.com
I put my prescription in on 12/14/06 in order to get 2006 rates on my insurance. Today is 1/9/07 and I still have not received it. I have had several people on the phone tell me it is in processing and it is on the way and I still am without my insulin. Because I have called so often Walgreen's has grown tired of my telephone calls and has put the fault on me. My insurance company will not do anything because they say Walgreen's is at fault. No one at Walgreen's seems to care that they have not dispensed my insulin and no one is trying to straighten out the problem. read full review »

I am controlling the printings including printing invoice for all companies which consist of 6 companies situated here in Kuching and another 2 companies situated in both Sibu and Sarikei. Therefore, I am in charge of 8 companies.
Okay, its fine with me, but if there is a printing error due to some rushing, who's fault is this? My fault or the management as I am been given too much responsibilities causing complication.
The story starts like this. Last few weeks I was told to print invoice for the branch in Sarikei. The... read full review »
Radio City - Rockettes Entertainment
This happened a few years ago, but people should still hear about it. After attending the Radio City Christmas show in Minneapolis, I e-mailed Radio City to ask whether they would forward a letter of appreciation to the performing Rockettes.
A public relations staffer replied that yes, they would gladly address and forward the letters. To minimize their inconvenience, I enclosed a copy of the letter in 22 stamped and sealed envelopes, each with a printed Rockette addressee name taken from the Playbill. I mailed the package to New York, a... read full review »
Southern Foods Corporation
I seriously doubt this situation is "news" to most people, but it did shock me! Tarrant, AL is a very small town, and I'm only aware of two grocery stores in the city. One is Southern Foods, and it is closing.
They were having a Store Closing Sale, with everything 40 to 50% discounted. Okay, not happy they're closing, but might be a good chance to get some good deals.
Well, nice sale. They have cereal "on sale" for $3.58. Its normal price is at least that price, if not less. They have a canned food item... read full review »
Encore Foods Chopped Onions of Canada
Heads up. I am letting you and the public know of my experience. On three seperate occasions, after purchasing Encore foods chopped onions of Canada, I discovered live maggotts. The first two times I pitched them. This latest container I took to Big Lots in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and complained to the manager, who said I could have a full refund. I told her I wanted the company notified and to correct matters there. I also wrote to the company and compained. I still may contact the consumer protection agency in Michigan.

Lindsay Large Pitted Olives
We live in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan and when we were recently in Green Bay, WI, we shopped at Sam's Club. We live approximately 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours away. When we got home and opened the shrink wrap the cans were punctured and open. There was no way to tell with the shrink wrap on. Seeing we live so far away it is not feasible to return the defective products. Please advise on what to do next. The product coed is 53800 61016, on the package, the product code on the receipt is 19465, 6 6oz olives. We would expect some kind of restitution for this.

I heard that there is a bad complain regarding the way of how this company is managing their employees.
Lately, I heard my friend indicating his dissatisfaction and disappointment upon his decision on working in this company. He is graduated from Diploma and found out that the salary scale was indeed almost the same scale as a SPM student working in the company.
Here, he indicates that this salary scale have put him into a phobia whereas he is thinking what is the use of studying Diploma if the salary is very low at the scale of Rm6xx.xx. Better don't study is what he said lastly. read full review »
Greene Uniform Co.
Greene uniform co. is the worst company to deal with, no only do they never pick up their phone line, but when you do get through to them, it is the worst customer service ever! I had to go to their store in New York City (Bronx) in order to exchange items because they also messed up my order. The store is disgusting! It is filthy and they have one person at the front desk that can attend you, one phone line and nothing you request! The catholic school my son attends to uses this co. and it is the first year, I hope it is also the last! The... read full review »

This is a warehouse, I was a hilo driver over there, the owners decided they wanted to make it required that all the dockman working in the warehouse have their CDL (truck operator license).
