I watched the infomercial they have on You Tube on April 24, 2025 and the problem is this I did not purchase anything I gave no information about my debit card and did not place an order, yet I was charged$29.00. When I looked at the online sight the message said I was not an active member. I just want to warn people not to fill out any information or they could do what they did to me.

April 19th I paid $29.99 through my ****** account for an exercise program. On today April 26th I was billed $49 for an additional exercise program that I did not authorize. Apparently after purchasing the program Svelte added me to some sort of subscription service. Nowhere in the welcome, Thank you for purchasing email was a subscription mentioned. I am not interested in joining any "subscription" for exercise. On their website I don't see any mention of subscription nor do I see any means to cancel one.Business Response

Hi there,
Thank you for contacting Svelte Training.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I am happy to help.
Could you please let me know the email address you use to purchase the program? I tried to search for your email address on our system but I did not find any record of a purchase.
If you could provide your first name and last name used to place the order, or the order ID number of your purchase program that would be very helpful.
Any information you can give to me would be appreciated. I look forward to your reply as I would love to help.
Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.Customer Answer

Complaint: 23169589
I am rejecting this response because: Svelte does not show a record of my placing an order however they continue charge me a monthly fee and have done so since 2023. I don't have the order number as the order was placed on 7/8/2023 at 1:46 pm. (I have a partial screen shot of when the order was placed that has a time and date stamp however it does not show the order number.) The email address that the account should be under is **************** I replied to an email to remove my name and I thought that would be the end of the issue. The name on the order will either be "**** ****" or "********** ****".The screenshot has a "go to website" link. I tried to use the link to go to the svelte dashboard to cancel the subscription however nothing would load.
Sincerely,
**** ****Business Response

It says I have agreed to a 7 day trial then proceeded to start charging me $53.66 a month without my knowledge. I always keep records of anything I do and have nothing about this company. I need to get the monthly charge cancelled so I wont keep being charged for something I dont know about. I have been charged $53.66 on March 5 and am soon to be charged another $53.66 on April 5, 2025. I have not found a phone number to even contact this company.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because they are refunding me only 2 of the 3 months of subscription charged without my consent. I only paid $29 for Svelte Training Mataboost but in no case did I accept the additional charge of $49, so even though we are outside the 60-day warranty period, it is illegal for them not to pay me for something that I did not want to buy.
