No shortcut for slimming

I learnt this in the hard way. Every people are very different from one another. Some can lose weight easily but very hard to gain weight, and some are vice versa. I definitely fall in the latter category (clearly can be seen from this post title). ;P . Because of this, I am easily tempted with promotion on slimming treatment n bla bla bla. It started when I saw this promotion, 3 times slimming treatment for RM 33 only. Quite a bargain right?! So I decided to give it a try.

During my treatment, the consultant said that 3 times treatment is not enough and promoted for another 5 times of the treatment for RM 130. Still can be tolerated although I might say I’m not really confident that it can make me lose weight up to 15kg.

Then, when I go for the next treatment, another consultant (replacing the previous one) claim that my fat is too stubborn. So the treatment that I was undergoing is not enough. So she promoted another 2 types of treatment that she claim can make me see the result faster. Hah?!!! Stubborn fat??!!! That is because your treatment is not working! And you promoted the more expensive treatment to this easily influence me that don’t know how to say ‘NO, THANK YOU’.

Firstly she offer me 5 times of the treatment for RM 1800..OMG that’s very damn expensive for me. Then she guaranteed that can be paid with monthly installment (still a hell lot of money deducted from my account for 20 months!). Later she got greedier. She said 5 time not enough. So she offered me 10 times treatment with discount for RM 2700.OMG x 100!!!!! So foolish of me for agreeing to that offer. I really regret it.

Then a week later, I got called by my Credit Card bank said that monthly installment cannot be made. WHATTTTT!! Where the hell I want to dig up the money to pay for the RM 2700 lump sum?!!! She promise me monthly installment.

I try to deal with them to cancel the treatment but she said it’s impossible because I’ve already sign the invoice and she also mentioned if i want to cancel have to go to court because it has been stated in the invoice that it is non-refundable and bla bla bla. SHE THREATENED ME?!!! How dare you..

I filed a case to Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna. I gave them 2 months before filling the case which for me is an ample time to settle this matter, but they don’t even contacted me regarding this matter. Yet when i set an appointment to meet up with the manager from Singapore, and I went there, the manager is not there and the consultant just said that she mistakenly thought that I set up appointment for treatment. I was really enraged!. Ni memang sah nak menipu!! After I filed the case, then they keep calling me everyday to withdraw the case. They even offer me half price but I have to create another credit card that can surely give monthly installment. I have to be very strong on this and never back down. They even asked to withdraw then they’ll give me full refund. What the case? Like I’ll believe them. Why don’t they give me the full refund first then I’ll withdraw the case. Don’t bluff la. They’ll do anything to convince you to continue with their treatment and they dont want to pay the full refund. Everyday keep calling me and some even promote some more.

Readers~ Please do not engage with this kind of situation. Please save your money for something more important. I learn it the hard way when I can save myself from taking leave for filing the case and another leave for hearing and all. But it does opened my eyes about the reality and consumer’s rights. Slimming treatment, its just the kind of treatment that you want to pamper yourself, but wrapped sauna is damn torturing. It did not melt the fat. It’s dehydrating the body. Especially if it’s the full body sauna. Frankly, I don’t see any different before and after treatment effect. So why should I continue having these treatments? Better I go for jogging or aerobic class. It is more worth it!! Trust me. I know~ Jangan sebab nak kurus kite korbankan benda2 laen. Just because we want to get slimmer, we sacrifice something else, such as our money and most importantly our healthy body that is a gift from God. Please treasure yourself everyone~
