Posted to Fig Advanced Lipodissolve refund on 11 Dec 2007
What people are not understanding is this; most of you never paid Fig anything. Most financed through a third party. Companies such as Care Credit already did their part, they have already loaned you the money. They don't care that it didn't work out for you. They want their money. Going to the BBB will be useless. There is no business anymore. The BBB cannot mediate when there's only one party. For that matter, we should file with the BBB against Studebaker Automotive. I can't get them to answer my calls either. There is no company to sue either. You would have a better chance of somehow forcing the company to become publicly traded, buy some shares, and attend a share holders meeting. Everyone seems to talk a good game, "BBB...Atty Gen" but no one seems to be grasping the reality here. Your energy would be better spent on other things. It's a hard pill to swallow but learn from your mistakes and move on.

Not to pass judgment or to offend anyone but does anyone really buy what these people are trying to make us believe? Honestly, most of the entries I'm reading are trying to get me to believe, "through diet and exercise on my own, I lost the weight. It wasn't the fact that I injected chemicals into my body that was advertised to DISSOLVE FAT. Oh no, although I was never motivated enough to exercise on my own (or let's face it, you would have never gone to Lipo Dissolve in the first place) and never mind the fact again I INJECTED A CHEMICAL INTO MY BODY THAT DISSOLVES FAT, for the first time in the history of the world, someone lost 4 inches off of their waist by walking 1 lap around a track!" Take this mycutepiko who sounded off above me; She says she "was lured in by the 'guaranteed results' program, which should be 'guaranteed results or wait a year to get a refund if any'." Now I don't know about anyone else but if I drive by the gas station, and I see a sign that reads "free air", that won't lure me in. Me having flat tires lures me in, so don't spin it piko; you were chunky. That's what got you in the door. You go on to talk about how many injections you have had over the next 10 months and by your own account you can't remember if it was 1 or 3 months after your last injections that your file went to corporate. I'm not a doctor but I would think this would make a big difference in any swelling you may have had; I say this because I have had tatoos, bee stings, flu shots, allergic reactions, and whatever else you can think of that would compare to these injections. Then you go into the BBB. This is one of the most crooked organizations on the planet. If the BBB doesn't charge you who issue complaints, how do the pay their employees. Now I know that some of you believe that the BBB is comprised of good hearted people who only want to make a difference and look out for John Q. but face it, THE BBB CHARGES COMPANIES TO JOIN THEIR ORGANIZATION. A COMPANY MUST PAY THE BBB REGULARLY TO STAY IN THEIR GOOD GRACES! There are a number of companies that I have personally complained about to the BBB, but when you research them on the BBB website, nothing; not one issue (because they are members). With as big of a problem as I have with the BBB, Jamie Baker seems to have told you the truth. The BBB is a 3rd party mediator. They speak with the company, then you, then the company again. You must agree (a.k.a. give a satisfactory response) to the BBB for the issue to be resolved; i.e. get refunded. That's not the companies policy; that's the BBB. We'll skip over the personal attacks of the employees that you have posted their names for now (while you remain anonymous, kinda seems like a sucker punch to me) and go right into how much time and effort you've put into this. I buy none of that! Like I said at the beginning of my little rant, if you were really that motivated you wouldn't need Lipo Dissolve in the first place! It reminds me of that Head & Shoulders commercial, "but you don't have dandruff." "I know" To conclude, you mention your stomach it bigger now then when you started, with no weight gain. I can think of only a couple of things that could cause this. 1) gas. Take some beano. 2) Get a new mirror. Some how you have warped it but (good news) if you turn it sideways, you should look thinner. 3) they're fatty nodules that are swelling because the Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate is working! Slow your roll! Being in a hurry isn't your style (again with the motivation or lack there of) Now for the personal attacks. You make Jamie Baker out to be some hired thug. "She also told me that unless I respond to the BBB with a 'satisfactory response' about Fig, my refund process will be postponed." We don't know who Jamie Baker is. For all you know she may be a single mom with three kids, trying to help people by working for a company that tries to make you happier with yourself. "Since October 22nd, I have been calling twice or so a week, left numerous message with Curtis Natalie and have yet to receive a phone call from him. At one point, I received an email from him, stating nothing I needed to know or had asked, replied in 5 minutes and never heard from him again. In my file notes it states that he tried to call but "was unable to reach me". Yet I had no missed calls and no message from him. I feel that he is too ignorant to use a phone. All the numbers must confuse him." Did you ever stop and think maybe Curtis was deaf? Maybe that's why he emailed you? But then again, after reading some of these postings, I wouldn't want to talk to mycutepiko either. -Bottom Line- Although I seemed to focus on only what the blogger before me wrote, you can see the same tired and worn out excuses as to why these people have been wronged all over the place for a full spectrum of issues (not just Lipo Dissolve). By the companies own admission, this doesn't work for everyone. If you research the internet, you will see that anywhere from 4-10% of the population will not respond to this treatment. It's unfortunate that in this country the minority will scream and pout until people pity them. Poor you. Not even pumping fat dissolving chemicals into your body could help you with you self image. You have to go and tell your story to the world and point the finger at everyone else and say it's their fault. If you would spend less time searching for "the magic pill" and blaming others for your insecurities, but more time exercising and eating right, you might get those results your looking for. I completely agree with "Red". If everyone could get the perfect body by getting a few injections, super models would be paid minimum wage.
