    Subject: Formal Complaint Against Candle Lit Company I am submitting a formal complaint against Candle Lit Company, located at ************************************. My family and I scheduled and prepaid for three appointments on February 8, 2025. On that date, one family member experienced an unforeseen vehicle issue that prevented her from safely attending the appointment. However, two of us were present for the scheduled 1:00 PM appointment.Upon checking in, I informed the attendant that one member of our group would not be able to attend. Initially, he indicated that the third member could reschedule. I then requested permission to pour the candle on her behalf, as we were present and had already made payment for all three appointments. Another staff member subsequently intervened and stated that all participants must reschedule, as the appointment was booked as a group.Despite my insistence that I should be allowed to pour the third candle since two of us were present, the staff denied my request. This refusal raises concerns regarding the company's practices, as there was no justifiable reason for not permitting me to pour the third candle, especially since payment had already been made and we were on time for the appointment. I believe this situation reflects unfair business practices and constitutes an exploitation of consumers.I am requesting a store credit, as we have already made advance payments to this company and did not have the opportunity to pour the candle. The company received three payments, yet only two candles were poured that Saturday. Therefore, we should have a credit reflected in their accounting ************ Regards,*****
