      We were incorrectly charged a monthly membership fee when all I did was change the credit card on file. The monthly fee has already been charged on the previous card for December 2023. Since December, we have had to challenge that extra charge with ******** and repeatedly ask to have the membership cancelled as well as a confirmation. No response from the Owners, Managers at all since this began. We only want to be assured that the membership has been cancelled and no further charges will be made for the monthly membership fee. It is totally ridiculous when this business cannot simply do what they have been asked (as a part for their agreement) to cancel the membership per our request and confirm that it has been done so that we see NO further charges for an unwanted membership to an unwanted service from an unwanted business.

      I signed up for a membership summer 2023. After repeated small issues at every visit I decided to cancel the membership. The staff at the ****** location provided an email address to email to cancel. I emailed on 12/10, 12/12, 12/20 and 12/27. The email on 12/27 advised them that according to the conditions of the membership, I had to give 30 days so I expected a charge on 1/2. I advised that if they charged me again, I would dispute the charges and contact the BBB. I finally received an email on 1/11/24 apologizing for the delay and that the last charge would be 1/2/24. I was charged again on 2/2. I immediately filed a dispute with my credit card company. I emailed them today advising them that they charged me again and I had already disputed the charge and I would be contacting the BBB.

      I had signed up for the monthly subscription of two floats. I became injured and put my account on hold towards the end of my recovery. As I started to use the floats while it was on hold the services changed. The staff was beyond rude at the first. They don’t even start the float on the second. And the third was the last straw. My door was unlocked during my float and the person working stated she watched me while I was there. I’ve had several emails with this business and they refuse to refund me. They are now calling me a liar saying my door wasn’t unlocked. The services that I paid for cannot be rendered as I do not trust they will not come into my room at this point and cannot relax about it. I feel violated by this experience This is a safety issue as well. I am requesting a full refund for all used floats. Which is $1,200.

      I have had a membership with True Rest Float Spat for a while which entitles me to one hour float a month, and if I do not use that float it rolls over.

      I made an appointment for my wife on 6/9/2023. We received an out of spec text a full hour before our appointment trying to get us to come in well before our appointment for a float. When I told them that we were coming at our appointment time I was sent a threating text that if we weren't there by a specific time both our floats would be cancelled.

      In the True Rest emails they encourage you to get there early with the words "we'd like to see you". Since my wife is an experienced floater, had filled out all her forms and watched the intro video, we tried to get to the spa closer to the time of our appointment. I informed the person at True Rest that we were on our way and that being texted "be here or else" was not ok. She then proceeded to threaten to shorten both our floats because she was busy and had other customers.

      We were to be there before the appointment, but all this happened via unsolicited text and was so disturbing and dysregulating I asked her to call the owner **** ******** who I spoke to via phone and communicated the situation. He reviewed the text conversation and agreed the interaction was not ok. I followed up with an email and text asking him to cancel our membership and refund our money. He did not respond for 5 days.

      I followed up my email by text. and he indicated he hadn't seen it and then failed to respond after he "checked his email". I continued to follow up with him and he said he was busy and wanted to take a day to sit with it.

      When I didn't hear from him the following day, I reached out via text and he indicated he was having computer issues and would address it after.

      Five days later without a response, my wife sent him a note, which he did not respond to. The owner of this company is playing games rather than addressing this issue.

      - February 2020: I started a monthly account with TrueRest where I could get 2 sessions per month for $63.43. - In March 2020: COVID 19 became a problem. - On May 08th 2020: I requested to cancel my account effective immediately and was confirmed that the account has been cancelled without any further charges starting June 2020. - The May payment ran on May 09th. - On June 09th: TrueRest deducted another payment from my credit card. So I contact the company few times to demand the refund since my account was cancelled. - Mr. ******* ******* in his capacity as area manager contacted me with an apology and refunded $63.43 on 06/16/2020. - My card was not debited for the following few months; obviously because my account has been cancelled. - TrueRest, and without telling me, started once again debiting my credit card for the same monthly amount starting December 05th, 2020 without my authorization; and they continued to do so till April 2022 when I discovered these unauthorized debits. - On April 15th 2022: I contacted the company multiple times and requested a refund for the total amount of $1078.31 but I have not received this refund yet. - TrueRest ran my card few more times in May, June, and July 2022. - I disputed each one of these charges with ***** ***** The fraud department was able to determine that charges should have not taken place, and refunded these three charges to me. They could not address the other charges because they were old per their policy. - I also contacted a lawyer to intervene, and TrueRest still has not responded to him regarding this matter.

      Hello,

      It took me a few weeks to collect 30 months of email messaging and other supporting documents in order to investigate.  Upon completion of my investigation, I did connect with the client directly.  We had a call the AM of November 1.  We discussed all aspects and details.  I shared the policy/processes in place...and was able to identify where likely communication break downs occurred.  Including some email security issues that prevented delivery of some of her messages to us.

      Per ****** request, we have issued a refund in the amount she has requested.  I have also added 2 service vouchers to her profile for the confusion.  The check is going in the mail today.  I also sent an email to her confirmation this.  She sent back a note stating "Thank you very much for working on getting this matter resolved."

      With this, I am considering this matter closed and the customer satisfied.  Thank you for your time.

      I visited true rest Easton today, 6:15p 7/22/22. And my pod was not working correctly when I entered it. The music did not come on but the lights were on. After being in the float for 40 minutes the music came so I got out. Then 5 min later the float device told me basically my time was up. So I got ready. I went to the front desk told the young lady I think something was wrong with my pod and she checked and my time and realized that I had 20 min left. So I asked was there anything that she could do to compensate my time that I loss but I feel she blew me off. I feel it was a bad customer experience. Even trying to book an appointment I could never reach anyone so I had to drive 20 min to book an appointment because my wife bought the reservation online so I couldn’t book on the website.

      There are many ways to book with us.  All sorts of technology options as well as our staff.  We do have a first float guaranty.  We will reach out to the client to discuss directly and re-book at no charge.  There is an avenue of leadership/mgmt that this client could have pursued.  Will understand more of why or why not they did not attempt this...and will service the client to repair their opinion of this event.
