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!!

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!

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!

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.

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 รยฃ69 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

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 !!!!!!

Hi all, I've made a facebook group for all therapist so we can all communticate and try and help each other as we are having the same problems. its name USWL Therapists. Also let the other therapist know about this group as it seems to be every therapist from every clinic with the same problems, and hopefully this group will help all of us understand what is going on and what we can do to try and resolve the matter. We have all worked so hard and this is what happens to us! Please join the group asap!! thank you, Ex therapist from Northampton

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 bought 6 sessions off groupon over a month ago, the voucher cost รยฃ69. 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!

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!!
