I find it extremely disconcerting that Svelte automatically started charging me $49 a month. I paid $7 something initially, thinking I was just paying for that one time product.. I had no idea I would be enrolled in a monthly fee based program that I never use and never will. IT WAS NOT CLEAR. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and can no way afford this. This is happening way too often to people. Make it clear -NOTIFY PEOPLE WHEN THE ***** PERIOD IS UP or to me that's entrapment. You have no problem billing them, hoping it goes unnoticed. Extremely frustrating and BAD BUSINESS.Business Response

This business charged me a recurring fee of $49/month that I NEVER signed up for or authorized. This looks like a recurring theme with this company. For the love of god, shut them down.Business Response

On June 8 of this year, a very striking and motivating advertisement for your Svelte program appeared on IG, which greatly caught my attention. I entered the advertisement, listened carefully and decided to make the purchase. Enter my information as well as the of my card, however, the program continued to offer me more services that I was not interested in purchasing, so I closed my browser and waited for the link to what I had purchased to arrive and to this day I have not received anything of the service for which I paid (which had a 30-day satisfaction guarantee) and in exchange I already received not only the first payment which was reflected immediately on June 8 for the amount of $722.10 Mexican pesos, but a second payment on the 15th June for the amount of $908.18 Mexican pesos, which I do not know what it is, since I understood that it was a one-time payment, however it has been like that. I find your way of working abusive. Therefore, I immediately request the cancellation of my subscription and the refund of my money immediately. I do not know what it is, since I understood that it was a one-time payment, however it has been like that, this second charge is for the amount of $908.18 Mexican pesos. I find your way of working abusive. Therefore, I request the cancellation of my subscription and a refund of my money immediately. Needless to say, after the eye-catching announcement the only two contacts with the company have been the two charges that have been reflected on my card account statement.Business Response

Date of the transaction: 8 june 2024 Ammount paid: 29USD I thought I signed up for a 1 time charge of $29 to receive an e-book Metabolic Flush and the supporting e-book food substitution list. I do not recall signing up for a monthly $49 fee which they have charged every month for the last few months. I went onto their website to cancel the subscription thinking that it was my error. Their web site makes you scroll through multiple pages and tries to shame you into keeping the membership. Inmediatelly after I was charge for the 29 USD, AMEX adviced me about a chargge for 49USD extra that I did not sign for. The worst is that I have bot received the products that I allready paid for.Business Response

Hi ******,
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.

In June I purchased a one-time purchase of USD $29. I have been billed for one months now, for USD$49 - without my consent. I have tried logging on to the website and it does not recognize my email. I have no login associated with the website and have no way of cancelling. My attempts to contact the company have received not response. I would like a full refund of this money to my account, and I demand that they cease billing me moving forwardBusiness Response

February 2024 I ordered 2 products one cost $29 and the other product that was $12 many many other things were offered to me that I declined knowing myself as I do. However my credit card was charged $49.00 since March. I was able to "cancel" the subscription. However was only able to get a refund on one that is pending for ***** These people are telling me that I must have mistakenly ordered a subscription to their company, website of exercise and videos and diet plans. Wish I know I didn't because I know me and had already ordered the 29 and the $12 packet. Thank you for looking into the situation and making others aware. TheBusiness Response
