    I signed up for this service which was supposed to be an initial charge of $29.00. I quickly realized it was not for me and have called the so called customer service number numerous times and have never received the promised call back. I want to cancel this subscription and it is clearly the intention of the company that they do not wish to let you go! The customer service link is not active and the customer service number does not answer and does not return calls. This screams fraud! They are continuing to charge my account so far now for $262.19. I want out - now. This is clearly predatory marketing. They can keep the $29.00 but the rest needs to be refunded immediately and cancel this horrible marketing scheme, The email address Svelte has on record is **********************

    I am contacting you to request cancellation of my (unsolicited) subscription. I just requested a free trial subscription and they automatically charged my bank account $53.19. I hereby cancel and immediately terminate the subscription with LazyFit and request a refund of the $53.19 to my bank account. Not only this. I just found out that two additional charges have been made to one of my cards; one for $29.00 and another for $49.00. They all add up to a total of $131.19. Needless to say, I have not authorized any monthly subscription and request a refund of all my charges.Thanks in advance,******************* *********************

    Complaint: 22042120

    I am rejecting this response because:  They mention the purchase of One and Done or Meta Boost and I have not bought anything. Possibly this is why the $53.19 charge is made. I repeat, the only thing I requested was the free trial subscription, which I understand by this was the $29.00 charge, which is possibly correct and I can accept, but not the other charges. I definitely want to cancel everything, I am not interested in any services from Svelte Media Inc.

    I purchased a one-time workout video program and have been subsequently charged each month thereafter. Once I realized this charge, I contacted the business and they refuse to refund more than a few months charges. Additionally, their program is false advertisement and does not work as guaranteed.

    Complaint: 22031772

    I am rejecting this response because: when I initially signed up while on vacation in ******, there was at least ***** hour technical issues with me logging in and activating the account.  I had to phone in several times to your customer service and during those conversations stressed my hesitancy and suspicions about the validity of this "guaranteed results program".  As mentioned in my previous communications to you prior to filling a complaint with BBB, I am seeking full refund due to false advertisement and bait and switch sales tactics.  Should you be motivated to refund me the full amount paid, minus 7 day trial fee if any - I would gladly update my experience to reflect positive outcome.

    We do offer a 60-day money-back guarantee, but given the circumstances, I have extended it to 120 days and refunded another 2x$49 to your account. We hope this resolution helps address your concerns.
    If there are any further issues or questions, please let us know. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to make this right.

    I am rejecting this response because: Please see attachments of confirmation email for 7 day trial membership.  As you can see there is no mention of any required activity by consumer to cancel membership and avoid additional charges.  On the contrary, your verbiage eludes to an offer of a lower lifetime membership fee than $49.  Please promptly process refund for the remaining 8 months.

    Complaint: 22031772

    I am rejecting this response because: the proof is in the attachments sent that there is no mention of what you allege to be current policy.  Why wouldn't a company that operates in full transparency communicate and reiterate a policy on their confirmation email to ensure client understands timeline/restrictions, etc?  So it stands, I am requesting a full refund due to false advertisement and hidden fees.

    Hello, I need to know what happens with the refund I requested, I have been receiving responses for days from different media telling me that the refund will be issued between 24 to 48 hours. Then they tell me that it is 7 to 10 days and more than 10 business days have already passed and the refund has not yet been reflected. My bank tells me that there is no information about the refund from you and that once you make the deposit the money immediately appears in my account. Apparently there are many people complaining about the same thing, making improper charges and then not refunding, I can understand that the page is about scamming people. They only send copied emails with the same answers. As I understand it, the consumer in international purchases is also protected, therefore, I will have to file the corresponding complaint if there is no refund of the money.

    I have been charged ***** June 21, ***** May 16, & ***** on April 21. I have not allowed any of these transactions. I have had to replace my bank card 4 times now. Not exactly sure how or why money is being taken out of my account. I don't even know what your company is or about. I am a single mother of 3 and I don't have the extra money to just ignore this type of stuff. So having my money reimbursed would be acceptable.

    Thank you for contacting Svelte Training.

    I apologize for the inconvenience. I am happy to help.

    Could you please let me know the email address you use to purchase the program? I tried to search for your email address on our system but I did not find any record of a purchase.

    If you could provide your first name and last name used to place the order, or the order ID number of your purchase program that would be very helpful.

    Any information you can give to me would be appreciated. I look forward to your reply as I would love to help.

    Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

    Good afternoon. I purchased the Metaboost Connection package in January 2024 understanding that they charged a one-time value of 29 US. However, since February 2024 they have been charging me US$49 without my consent and I have not been able to stop the charge from my card. It seems like a theft and a scam to me because I did not allow a monthly charge. I searched the application but I didn't find any option to cancel the payment, the only thing I could do was unsubscribe from the emails. I expect a refund of all the extra payments of 49 US that they made during these months and a definitive cancellation of the application. I expect a positive answer.

    I signed up for the Basic One-Time Charge of $29 ($31.76 with fees) on 5/30/24. Apparently there is a 7-Day free trial for some other Membership Program, that I never opted in to. Yet my card was charged on 6/6/24 and 7/6/24 for $53.66 each time. I have recently sent an email through their website requesting a complete refund of all the charges made to my card, as they state they have a "No questions asked 60 day money back guarantee". Their billing practices are "shady" at best. A 60 day money back guarantee because I am sure most people don't even realize they are being billed until quite a few months go by.I am filing this complaint because 1) I would like every charge made to my credit card refunded. and 2) Hopefully if enough people complain about the fraudulent billing practice maybe something can be done about it.

    Hello there,

    I hope this email finds you well. I want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you've encountered with our program's billing. Your experience is certainly not reflective of the quality of service we strive to provide, and we're committed to addressing this matter promptly.

    The membership is indeed optional and requires active selection on the following page after purchasing One and Done or MetaBoost. This additional membership offers a range of benefits and is billed at $49 per month starting once the free trial period concludes. We appreciate your honesty in sharing your concerns. I want to assure you that your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are actively working to prevent such situations from occurring in the future. Additionally, we would like to clarify that the recurring charges you experienced are likely associated with a subscription that you may have inadvertently signed up for during the registration process. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or lack of clarity in our communication.

    To underscore our commitment to your satisfaction, we are thrilled to remind you of our 60-day guarantee.

    I authorized ONE payment of $29 on 4/4/2024. However, they have continued to charge my card and do not respond to email correspondence asking them to STOP! Currently at $225 and adding... I THINK I have figured out how to cancel the subscription now, but I am unsure, and I want my refund.
