USWL RIP OFF

Went to coventry for my Lipo Session 22nd June 2012 to be told USWL had sneeked into the offices they were renting in the middle of the night and took all their equipment. I was told they owe thousands for the rent and cant be contacted! Tried calling them , automated answer said I was 2nd in the Q, but no-one ever answered!. Got a txt just as I arrived for apt saying the clinic is temporarily closed to improve service, and that treatments would be moved back by 28 days! They have been advertising in national newpapers etc , must have cost them a fortune and loads of people must have lost money booking apts from this! Other companys (presumably reputable) have been offering similar treatment at more expensive prices, so I presume it must work. Is it a scam or did they go in at too low a price, made a loss and done a runner ?

DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY

I am working on behalf of someone and have just been trying all day to get an answer out of Christina about pay and details about the company...This has not gone well! The person I am talking on behalf of has been working for the company for nearly a month and has not been paid and pretty sure she will not get paid but for all ex employees and people that still work for the company please ring Helen who is in charge of payroll on 0754941****..Please direct your calls to this number as Christina will guilt trip you all the way...the company are not run properly they are sending texts makling people redundant but giving then in the next breath telling them they could get their jobs back when the problems with the company are sorted..or in my opinion they are employing young girls that are in need of work and taking the '***' basically...please I urge you never to work for this company unless you want to be in a job for a month then get made redundant without pay!!

Guest

if we did take the machine legally we cannot get done for theft because it's the same as what bouncers do. we are owed money and we deserve it, and I hope to god it goes in on sunday/monday or legally they are in deep.

Guest

As if they are going to prosecute you when they themselves are the biggest scamming ***-artists of all! Seriously!

They're not going to pay you... Nothing will convince them to pay you but if you have a machine at least you have something!

Guest

Yeah.. good one.. take a ร‚ยฃ500 machine.. That'll convince them to pay us over a grand in wages.

And the criminal record for theft will look great on my CV...

some people..

Guest

Have they shut down everywhere? Or just certain places!

Take the machines girls! I'm sure they'll pay you then!!!

Guest

we went to the press and our story will be published in the birmingham mail. these people needs to be stop!!!

Guest

I worked for USWL for over 3 months everything was fine for me including my pay!!

Yes there was a lot of complaints about the bookings line but we dealt with it ours selfs..

I received a text on my payday saying I'd been made redundant so did the other 3 girls I worked with.. Now I'm receiveing my pay on Monday..

To be honest the company grew to big for them to handle there's nothing they could do about it, as for no1 answering calls or texts about owed wage they have got back to me straight away! Annie has left the business and Hellen is lovely I feel for her to be honest!! I miss working with my girlies but a jobs a job as long as I receive the wage I'm owed then I'm not bother :)

Guest

I sympathise with you. I worked for their Chelmsford branch and the same has happened to the three therapists there too.

All three of us are owed at least a months wages and have been 'promised' my money on the 1st/2nd July. I am beginning to realise that this isn't really going to happen.

I have just contacted Watch Dog and would ask that you and anyone else reading this do the same. If we get enough people contacting them then hopefully they'll take on this case, even if to just expose Annie Nickols, Aaron Nickols, Andrea Nickols Asa Testot & Helen Antrobus to name but a few .... all of these peoples addresses are readily available on the internet. ;)

Also anyone reading this, Ultrasound Weightloss have a public Facebook page where you can leave a 'recommendation'. I have already posted 'recommending' that people steer clear and that the whole business is a scam. It would be a good idea if as many people as possible do the same so that people can see they are going to lose their money.

Also we all need to contact the tax office. They have not provided us with a P45 which is illegal !! I'm sure the tax man will be VERY interested to know this.

Also seems they are just about to open two new offices in Croydon and Canary Wharf ..... be good to get a message to the therapists and customers their to warn it's a scam !!

To be perfectly honest i too have been a victim of this company, however the moronic threats on here are hardly helpful (in fact they make you worse than the Nickols)...Annie Nickols (if that is you) then posting *** like that to further wind people up is perhaps not very clever. I know trading standards and the police are investigating the company and im fairly certain that you will be prosicuted (im an accountant and auditor so this is not just hot air)the facts are that you deliberatly took money off clients without having the means to deliver what you were taking money for.. All in all as well as probably losing a lot of money (which you will trust me, if not already)you have broken the law.

Guest

Wow.. thats so cool.. I love Ibiza and all you guys being there.. (it must really be you because thats your name at the top of the post.. there's no way anyone has the identify theft skills required to just type someone elses name in a box)

be there shortly..

Golden Balls..

p.s. man, some people are dumb.. haha

Guest

Yeah, and me.. I came back from the dead so I could rock it Ibiza style..

Guest

Guest

Aaron - has a serious BO problem yucky money doesn't buy you everything but you wud think he's buy deodorant!! wouldnt last 2mins in prison he wud be a victim!!

Annie - is a mummies little girl who hasn't got nothing going for her but her cheap nasty holiday to Ibiza and fake Prada bags!! We will leave the butch lesbians in prison to deal with u haha!!

Andrea - the fatty made this company to try lose her fat baggage but omg she need more then abit of lipo!! At least I you go prison u might lose some weight fatty batty!!

Money hasn't brought u happiness it's brought you us lot!! And we haven't even d on u yet!! See you all in court babes!!

Guest

Ohhh you are a fool Annie!!

I thought with all the money you have stolen you would have gone some where more exotic not Ibiza, just proves your an old slapper who thinks she down with the youngers!!

Ahaa your Nowt but a low lifed vile skinny rat!!

You have *** with the wrong people this time, let's put it this way we never got our criminal records checked, the machines wasn't pat tested, we had no licence on the wall, no uniforms, play skips aren't right, haven't received wages, made us redundant on the spot, didn't give us scheduled breaks even when working 12hr shifts, the machines didn't work as they was imported over from china!! The list goes on..

But let me tell u this ***!! When ur on ur lovely cheap holiday to Ibiza who's looking after your house?

I will make sure I get what I'm owed and more!! I won't hurt u I'll hurt people around u darling!!

Watch ur back ***!!!

Bcz if it's war u want it's war u shall get!!!!!!!!

Guest

Thanks for telling us your whereabouts, now i know where i can send the police.

Guest

nice to know you care so much about the people you've stolen money from , me as a client being one of them . im sure trading standards and other watchdogs will be just as pleased to find out about youre caring nature and your endevours to refund clients as set out in your companies email

Con artists!

I've been working for them for 3 months. Received the same text... Have not been paid! Calls and texts not answered then a random one last night saying I would be paid on the 1st July. Thats just to shut us all up while they go around collecting the machines and then disappear! I am owed a lot of money... Worked my butt off for 5 weeks without pay! I am absolutely gutted! Report these people to watchdog! The police! Everyone! Don't let them get away with this! Take the machines if you can! Report Christina Henry (07908 89* 385) Debbie Piercey (07775 50* 096 This is disgusting what they have done!

I paid up ร‚ยฃ138 for 12 sessions and went to the Oxford Street branch and was met by Christina Henry and a trainee, after refusing to sign the form, I was promised a refund. Ms Henry was one of the most ridiculoour people I have ever met and tried her hardest to get me to sign the form, she must have told me (within th 25 mins I had the pleasure of her company) that she was a manager 10 times.

Obviously to my detriment I have realised this whole thing is a complete scam and am in the process of trying to be reiumbursed. I have also written to Watchdog and like my fellow pissedconsumers, would urge everybody to do the same.

Guest

do any1 kno helen number? not her tesco moblie

Guest

I paid for 12 treatments at Cheltenham, one day, before my first appointment, that I booked six weeks in advance. I recieved a text saying due to unforseen circumstance my appointment had to be cancelled.

This happen with all 12 appointments I had prebooked. This all started the first week of May 2012, I have tried to ring on a number of occassion, I just get a message saying I am 2nd in the ***.

You guessed, noboby answers. I have emailed, as advise by the auto mative service, still no reply.

Following suggestion on many of these reviews I will contact watch dog.

Guest

Yeah had the same letter saying they have stopped trading... which means for any ex employees of theirs (including myself) which are still owed money, Might as well forget it as we are not going to receive a penny!!!...

hope they get what they deserve. They be open again within a year under a new name ripping people off again, you watch.

Guest

I also worked for them for two months. I was removed from City Point central London on the Friday, half way through treatments.

I am owed ร‚ยฃ1,800. I am in arrears with rent and a whole lot of other financial nightmares. When I called Annie Nikols and Christina Henry to alert them, no one answered as usual. I had no follow up call to reassure me of what had happened or explanation.

It took me constant messaging to get any reply. Furthermore the first month I worked I was paid late, as Helen Antrobus in wages had no idea who I was!! I put it down to a mistake and hoped it would not arise when the other therapists were due to be paid. I am absolutely gutted for the clients and that the company have subjected us to this humiliating and very damaging experience.

I think your suggestion that we visit them is a good idea. Annie we have your home address!!

Guest

I have reported them to watchdog also! And written on the face book page!

I am so angry!

Guest

I hve worked for uswl for 6 months, i got a txt and i cant contact anyone from the company, they have tret us disgusting and take full advantage of the economy knowing that you need a job. Im owed over ร‚ยฃ1500 and they swan about in their posh cars destroying peoples lives.

Something has to be done!! maybe all us ex employees should picket at their home and then we might get something done.....

Ultrasound Weightloss - Also a *** Employer

As a previous employee of Ultrasound Weightloss, can I point out that it isn't only the customers that are pissed off! Over the past few months, I worked long shifts with NO support from managers. The booking line that booked clients appointments frequently double or teble booked resulting in myself and my colleague dealing with irrate customers. We voiced our concerns several times to various faceless managers, admin staff etc with NO feedback. To top the lot, I have only recieved 1 months wage and have been waiting for several weeks for the remainder of what is owed to me (which is quite a lot!). I have been fobbed off many times, being assured my wages will 'be in the bank tomorrow' but they have not! I am in the process of contacting ACAS and the Employment Tribunal to try and get my wages that way. I can emphasise with customers frustrations and would like to add that I loved the job, meeting people but hated how they were being treated. I was given no notice about ultrasound weightloss closing down, just a text message telling me to go home and they would ring me....well guess what....they havent!

If you paid by a Santander debit card then you CAN claim your money back

Viva Ugx

If you paid by visa card then contact your Bank and they will input a charge back to the payment system they used which will debit them and credit you, the more people who contact their banks the better as they will then have a record of all the people who have been ripped off by them.

Guest

I paid ร‚ยฃ69 for six sessions and didn't get one. I complained to "Naila" by email several times and have had multiple standard rubbishy replies, the last one to say that they have ceased trading and I should recover my money through my Credit Card company - but of course, I paid by Debit Card, so no chance.

Am about to complain to the Trading Standards Officer, nationally and locally, and to the Advertising Standards Association - the adverts are still out there. Let's all do this and see if we can't get them prosecuted.

Same complaints, paid my money via Groupon deal, phoned to book, couldn't get appointment for 8 weeks, then conned on phone that would be better to book another block session. Turned up to first appointment DOUBLE BOOKED, paid ร‚ยฃ6 to park at this stage.

Rebooked me for the Friday/Saturday then therapist would not treat me as it was within 24 hours off last treatment.

Tried to change times off 2 appts, then I was told I could get one in August and 1 in October, what happened to the sales pitch off treatments continuous close together.

Appointment 3 arrived and was not down on appointment, phoned several times, explained story, no phone call and no refund, sent countless emails and no response.

Trading standards are investigating these services on Groupon anyway so it's just a matter off time before it's flagged up. :cry

Guest

ULTRA SOUND WEIGHT LOST THIEVES!!!!!My friend & I booked six sessions through KGB deals. We were supposed to have our first session on Tuesday 26th @ Birmingham.

A text message was received 3 hours before we were supposed to attend advising that due to unforseen circumstances our booking had been cancelled and to call to arrange. Several phone calls were made where we were left holding for 15mins plus which then went straight to voice mail.

I phoned the building where Ultra sound weight loss was trading from to be told they were no longer trading there. After reading reviews it was clear that we had been robbed, took our money & done one!!!!!

USWL Info

I am an ex-therapist currently gathering information on absolutely anything you might know or want to know about this company. Please contact me on angrymoo@***.com. If any other therapists need support or want to know what steps to take next I would be very willing to help. We need to stick together. Stay strong and keep your chins up because there is no way they can get away from this. If they go bankrupt there are other ways to get our money. Much appreciated I need to write 100 words which is quite annoying, so i'll just ramble here.

I have been reading several complaints about this company and also groupon and came across your post.

There was a ร‚ย uswl clinic in Plymouth which has closed down a few months after advertising on groupon leaving ร‚ย clients who have paid and not had treatments.

I work at a strawberry laser lipo clinic also in Plymouth. We were also contacted by groupon but decided not to advertise with them.

The uswl website is now offering paid up untreated clients similar treatments elsewhere. We are potentially able to do treatments at our clinic on behalf of uswl although are unsure how to contact the relevant people. We may also have work available for qualified therapists in Plymouth.

If you have any response to your post from therapists or uswl clients I am happy to be contacted

USWL scam

I had an apointment today, saturday at 3 pm in Poole. I turned up in good time No-one was there when I drove from Weymouth on half a tank of petrol with my daughter in tow. I rang the number I'd been told to ring if no-one was down stairs, I did that but no-one answered. I called USWL but it was Saturday and was closed so I left a message. I texted the number as well, telling them what had happened and asking them to call me but no reply. The night before they'd texted me that all appointments between 18 -23 June were cancelled, but today is 16th June today so there was no excuse!!! I feel I've been treated abominably. I'd planned the weekend around this trip, I could have done something else instead of wasting the precious time I have off work. It spoilt my whole weekend and I am ร‚ยฃ69 down plus petrol. I fe.el ripped off, a mug and very, very angry. I' ve read the negative feedback already left and dont expect I'll get my money back

For the attention of Arron Nickols. The call centre didnt even know what address it was and gave me 2, and refused to give me his surname, now we know they are a family of fraudsters, and Arron was on Rogue Traders in 2009 - USWL is under his mothers name - Andrea Nickols.

I sent a letter to both x

Guest

Corrine, what address did you write your letter to?

Guest

JUST TO LET U ALL KNOW I HAVE JUST RECIEVED A LETTER THE COMPANY HAS GONE INTO ADMINISTRATION!!

Guest

The same happened to me. I had my first session ok but then no one turned up to let me in the building for the second.

I've emailed and called their number, each time it takes at least 15 mins to reach an answerphone which no one responds to.

I might go back to the 'clinic' which is a rent by the hour office and see what i can find out.... :(

Viva Ugx

That is true and it is a Nationwide scam, all my appointments cancelled and STIL they advertise on their web site for treatments that don't exist, I have no idea how to stop the public from going onto their website and booking these bogus appointments, as long as there website is on the net then us poor public will continue to be ripped off by the biggest money scam ever.

Guest

this is a nationwide scam, we are in the northeast and have been to the billingham for an appointment this afternoon, this was to be our 4th session, only to be told by the lady on the reception of the building that the office was closed and the therapists had received a text the night previous to tell them they had been made redundant. my mam and i each booked 12 sessions so have paid ร‚ยฃ280 to the company, we have tried calling them but after waiting 15 minitues to get to the front of the *** we get a answer machine telling us to leave a contact number and someone will call back.

we travel an hour each way to get to the site and to not even have a phone call or email to let us know that there was no appointment only adds to the anger. what an absolute disgrace of a company, annoyed does not come close.

Guest

I tried yesterday to try and speak to someone as they had cancelled my appointment after calling three time and selecting all three of the option i got the ansa machine asking me to leave a mess each call took me about 20 to get to the front of the quere - the therapist were unfairly treated too as they got a text making them redundant and USWL notified them the clinic was being closed - I dont feel we will get a refund and i have been unable to speak to someone and one one has returned my calls :( they will probably reopen under another name and scam more people -

Guest

What a rip-off. I personally believe that the machines were not working anyway.

i feel a mug as i paid for 6 seesions at ร‚ยฃ69 then a further ร‚ยฃ69 to make it 12 sessions.

They cancelled 4 of my sessions in 2 months - i should of known they were wronguns when their customer service centre were so diabolical.

Cheers USWL - so much for trying to make the most of myself and trying to start a new life for myself. Idiots.

Guest

Hi this is happening all over the South West. I first purchased 3 sessions from groupon back in January to attend the Bristol clinic.

I purchased 3 more when offered a further deal when arranging my first 3 appointments. Each appointment was cancelled due to various excuses like faulty equipment or lack of staff. USWL eventually compensated me with additional sessions totalling 14 in the end. On one occasion I had a cancellation text 20 mins before my appointment time having travelled from London to Bristol.

Determined to find out whether this was a scan i waited 3 hours for the area manager to arrive and eventually received my first treatment However last week I received a call from Zac saying due to faulty equipment my appointment on 12 July had to be cancelled. Strange as I had 3 other sessions booked prior to that and attended one last Saturday when the equipment was working fine!! I arrived for my 6 pm appointment in Bristol yesterday to find no consultants on site. A wasted trip, wasted petrol, parking and time, 2 other clients arrived whilst I was waiting.

I left a message on all the tel numbers I had and texted the area manager who has surprising responded with an offer of a refund. Here are some numbers for anyone trying to attend the Bristol Regis clinic. Direct no 07927 33****. Area Manager 07908 95**** booking lines 0121 213****, 0844567****, 07357 40**** and 07537 40****.

I feel strongly about doing something about this shoddy company and think either watchdog or Martin Lewis from Money Expert could be a good starting point. Anyone who has experienced their outrageous service should get in touch through this website.

USWL need to be exposed for the scam to stop other people falling into the trap. ร‚ยฃ39 per person doesn't sound a lot but add that up a few times and we probably have enough to purchase an ultrasound machine 100 times over!!!!

Uswl SCAM

I am an ex therapist of uswl!!! Me and the girls i worked with were told by a customer about the clinic closing when we tried contacting ANNIE NICKOL it took her 2 hours to respond just to tell us that we were being made redundent !!! We were treated really unfairly our wages were never paid on time we never had breaks and also if you wsnted a day off some1 would have to work a 12 hour shift with no breaks!! This company is an absolute joke it is a complete scam you are told you have to drink two to three litres of water a day bit if you did this anyway without getting the treatment you would lose 2-3 pounds a weeks !!! I would advise no1 ever buy anything from this company or work for this company do they not reslise they are messing with peoples lifes !!! ANNIE NICKOL you will pay !!!!!!

Anyone in MANCHESTER should try theUltrasound Lipo treatment at Imopact Tone Weight Loss. They opened in the city centre 6 weeks ago using the top of the range cavislim machine not the far east rubbish USWL were using!..The studios are lovely,the therapists great (in fact one came from USWL having not been paid by them) and the results have been fantastic- They have a professinal clinic and all treatments are administered by NVQ Level 3 fully trained who are all qualified fitness and weight loss specialists.

They are offering a special deal to anyone who has lost money with USWL.

Total scam - keep your money

I had treatments underarmsat Northampton branch without successs. Bookings cancelled but moved to tummy area. More cancelled and double booked appointments. They kept me hanging for several weks for 2nd room to open then the equipment didnt arrive. They did rebook my sessions but still - no results. arrived last monday to be told they had taken a machine to another clinic whose machine had broken down and my appointment was cancelled - again. I told them to get hte area manager to call me as I would not be back as despite lots of sessions I had lost NOTHING but my hard earned cash, the cost of the constant phone calls and hours of watsed time. Guess what - no call. I have emailed on several occasions - no response - I have phoned on several occasions - everytime I am tod someone will call back - they don't. despite telling them to cancel all my appointments they keep texting me not to attend appointments as they have issues. Had an email today telling me that Northampton was closing for a month, my appointments will be moved back by a month. Their phones just go to answerphone. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY

I only bought it because it seemed like a good deal and thought it would help shift some stubborn fat from my arms for my upcoming wedding, I turned up for my first appointment on Friday 11th may, at 7:30 pm, I was standing in the rain for half an hour ringing the bell to the office building, no answer. A sign said someone would come to greet you for after hours appointments. This did happen. When I went back for a rebooked appointment, I explained to the therapist what had happened, and was told someone was there and I was just impatient. At no point did I receive an apology. The girl was unbelievably rude. I then got a text message saying my 2nd appointment was cancelled, I was given no explanation as to why. Then finally last phone call today, saying unless I paid the difference ALL my appointments are cancelled and I have to find a refund from groupon. No explanation no apology. To be honest I was relieved to not have to go back there again Overall my experience at uswl was the worst I have had anywhere. The employees are rude, the booking line is useless, the staff are incompetent and the treatment itself is a fad. DO NOT GO THERE!

Ultrasound Weightloss Statement This is the latest statement on their website.

Dear Client

It is with regret that despite having pioneered ultrasonic cavitation treatment in the UK and successfully treating in excess of 10,000 customers, we find ourselves in a position where by at this time we must suspend trading with immediate effect due to circumstances beyond our control.

Whilst most will have received all the treatments they have paid for, we appreciate that for many clients this is not the case. Ultrasound Weight Loss would like to reaffirm its commitment to ensure no client is left out of pocket and will of course do its utmost to process refunds for affected clients. However, due to the time intensive nature of this process and the fact that all clients will have paid for treatments using a credit or debit card, we would strongly recommend that you contact your card issuer to obtain a refund on your behalf where applicable as this will be the fastest method of retrieving any monies owed.

It is Ultrasound Weight Loss Ltdรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs intention to explore alternative methods of enabling customers still outstanding treatments, and who do not wish to obtain a refund at this time to receive a comparable service elsewhere however please appreciate that this may be a long and potentially fruitless process.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for using Ultrasound Weight Loss and offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by matters beyond our control.

Regards

Ultrasound Weight Loss

I am a therapist that used to work for this company and I just wanted to say that the company where terrible with their staff as well. They text and told me not to go in as they were upgrading the machine and it would take 1 week, 1 week turned into 3 weeks and I got told I wouldnt get paid for this.

I was confused as to why they had shut the clinic for 3 weeks because the machine I was using was absolutly fine! I then also found out that they hadnt cancelled all appointments in those 3 weeks and some clients turned up and were told it was the therapist that werent turning up, they just didnt want to take resonsibility for anything!

USWL *** Artists

I booked 12 sessions last for August in Brighton, UK and paid up front. I have today prompted for confirmation by email and now have been notified that they have stopped trading. The Sunday Express should research their advertisers before becoming involved in such a scam. I've always been sceptical of press advertising and now I know why!! Usual warning: If it looks too good to be true it is too good to be true - I suppose I've escaped the horrors of the inexperienced therapist and the dreadful customer service, from what I've read on this site. Too bad I didn't see it last week when I googled!!
