      Complaint: Chicago Center-Body Movement has repeatedly been unable to fulfill its 10 class services agreement since Nov 2023. It denied me service for my class scheduled on August 28, 2024. It falsified my used and unused class count. And, it has stated my remaining classes have expired. I requested a copy of the following from Chicago Center-Body Movement:1) $1050 Invoice for 10 class purchase on 9-29-23 2) Published studio policies for cancelation and expiration 3) A list of used classes documented in the Mind Body Online (MBO) scheduling system since 9-29-23 As of today, 9-11-24, I have not received any documentation. I requesting a refund of $525 for 5 unused classes.

      Mr. ******* purchased a 10 class card on 9/29/23. The receipt clearly states that if you purchase a series to note the expiration date as well as our 24 hr cancellation policy. The receipt was sent via email to Mr. ******** ******** always automatically sends a receipt after a purchase. (see attached receipt and ******** account history screenshots)


      Our policies on class cards and cancellations are clearly written in two places on our website. The Studio Policies page and the Rates page state that all packages expire 4 months from the date of purchase. (see attached screenshots from the website)


      Mr. ******* used 5 sessions, and cancelled late for 2 sessions. On 10/30 Mr. ******* cancelled late and **** informed him he would be charged. On 11/18 he was a no show. When **** reached out, he responded that he accidentally slept in. If proof is needed, all messages are saved in texts and we're happy to share them. The remaining 3 sessions were well past the package expiration date (3/29/24) and will not be refunded.

       

      We did not receive a request from Mr. ******* for 7 months. We have proof through text and email that we tried to accommodate Mr. ******** If this is needed we are happy to provide it.

      As shown before, our policy on class card expiration is clearly shown in several places including our receipts, invoices and website. We are a small privately owned studio and have the right to set our own policies and hours. We are also not required to have online scheduling or published time slots, as Mr. ******* complained. He has missed the window for these sessions and will not be issued a refund.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      As a customer,  I was not made aware of **********************'s operating policies until I opened BBB complaint #********. It is not a normal business practice to have a 4 month expiration date on sold services and then not be available to provide the services. 


      Whether a small private business or publicly traded company - federal and state laws protect consumers against deceptive business practices. 


      Your services are not actually available  in typical Health and Wellness business hours. And, operating policies were not fully disclosed prior to my purchase. 


      As previously documented, I am requesting a refund of $525 for 5 unused classes.

       



      Sincerely,

      ****** *******
