weight loss

[goldengirl3980]

I talked to slender life weight loss system and they ran a credit check on me and said I was good for 1500.00 When I got home I noticed a paper that I signed but it was not given to me to read as when she gave it to me she said I needed to sign this for the supplements they gave me. It wasnt. It was a contract that said I can not cancell. In Florida there is supose to be a 3 day cool off law. Also I ask her 4 time what the intrust rate was and all she said was it couldnt be that bad. What do I do.

Read the post entitled "refusal to honor 3-day recission". There you will find a very thorough respsone from two of this sites finest. I think that situation applies to yours as well, at least somewhat. Key is deceptive advertising since sales person did not full explain the terms.

You should never sign something if you do not know the specific terms. The salespersons inability to answer your direct questions should have been a very large red flag to you that perhaps you should get more info. before signing.

David, you missed some important points.
1) where was the contract signed ie. home sales v. busines establishment.
2) the writer stated the intrust rate issue thus what was the level of trust the consumer had with respect to the salesperson. The reply was
it "couldn't be that bad." I presume that this statement as represented by the salesperson pertained to both the intrust and the interest rate.
3) the writer made reference to a 3 day cool off law. Apparently there is no such law as evidenced by the prolonged voter recount issue since it has been more than 3 days past the Presidential erection. (no Viagra or flutterby ballot needed)

My response:

I'm dying, I'm just goddamned dying !! That was so damned funny, Homey !! I almost fell out of my chair, busting a gut with laughter. Just great stuff, as per usual. I was drinking some coffee, and it came up through my nose !! Boy, I needed that laugh.

In California, at least, there is an exception to the Home Solicitation 3-day "Cooling Off" period - - that is, all health clubs, such as gyms, or karate schools, are included in the "Cooling Off" period, even though a contract is signed at their place of business. Why? I have no idea. It seems fundamentally unfair to include certain forms of businesses in the Home Solicitation laws of California, and not others - - like used car dealerships. That's REALLY where consumers could use a 3-day "Cooling Off" period.

Beware of the new weight loss program.
If you sign a one year contract you get a free cellulite phone. The phone is free but you have to pay for the service.
