Lucinda and David Bassett flood late night infomercial TV with their overpriced Attacking Anxiety and Depression schlock program. They advertise a '30-day risk free trial' for just $9.95, the so called 'shipping/Handling charge' (inflated as any typical infomercial ripoff), the hook being that the S/H charge is all you pay for the 30 day 'trial period'.Then when you aren't magically cured by this collection of cassette tape in 30 days, send it back with no obligation to pay the $75.00 a month that they bill your credit card for the next 6-7 months. Do not believe this CRAP for a minute. They start ripping you off immediately with the inflated shipping charge and then start removing your money 30 days from the ORDER DATE which typically is 10-14 days BEFORE the 30 day trial period STARTS. By the time the '30 day trial' is over they have already taken the first FULL payment of $75.00 (+ tax) by 2 WEEKS, even when you decide you don't want to buy this craprogram. One of Lucy's top-secret cures is to 'Drink 8 glasses of water everyday' and 'quit smoking and drinking' DUH! Gee for such wisdom it only costs 450 bucks! If these amateur Pyschobees had a grain of credibility would they operate so Don Lapre-like? It will take weeks to get your refund (if ever) A wiser approach would be to work for the bAssett's. Then you can buy the 'program' for $20 and save yourself $425 just 90% off the ripoff price they charge everyone else.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Midwest Center - Buyer Beware Midwest Center - has a total of 204 complaints lodged as of Aug. 2015 between the Better Business Bureau/Cal-ifornia/152 complaints - and the Business Consumer Alliance/California/52 complaints. In my case - it was necessary for me to add to complaint list against Midwest Center - after Midwest Center RUDELY REFUSED to refund payments deducted from my account, after having contacted
Midwest Center - after having returned their product, that had not been ordered/authorized by me. Investigation supported that Midwest Center
intentionally, deceitfully/deceptively obtained my account, and placed the order/initiated deductions, not approved/authorized by me - supporting
Midwest Center to be a questionable business operation/supporting evidence of fraud.
NOTE: Please check each banking/charge statement to stop/investigate unauthorized deductions asap - as timing is of essence for investigation/recovery of money.
This is sad. I used the program years ago and truly thought it changed my life. I recommended it to someone and thought to myself I would love to have it again because I had it on cassette tapes. To see all of these complaints is very frustrating because the program really did work. I don't know if they have changed the program, but it is truly a shame that the sales people were so untrustworthy. As for the price I think it is probably about the same price as a trip to the counselor and cheaper if you don't have insurance.
I am so with you. I purchased this program back in 1991, after My boyfriend committed suicide in my home, and I started to experience panic attacks. This program saved my life. My sister lost her husband 7 yrs ago and she started to experience anxiety to the point she was paralyzed. She just sat in her recliner for days afraid to move. I let her use my tapes, at first it was slow moving for her, but each day got better. She then purchased her own tapes. She tells everyone that they saved her life. And if she ever feels anxious, she knows just what to do to bring herself down. When I purchased the program, I only paid $100.00 for it brand new, and never did they ever send me any vitamins or pills of any sorts.
