Thank you, [redacted] *** Regards, [redacted] ***

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved] Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:This response is almost entirely fabricatedI have not received a single approved introduction in almost months of using themJust to clarify, I paid extra to be able to "pre-approve" matches The one person whose contact information I was sent I did not approve and it was sent to me by default without me approving because they were calling me from an unlisted # and I did not answer to be given the option to approve or reject in a timeframe they found acceptable (i assumed it was a telemarketer)When I received the email stating that this was an official introduction, I immediately called and was told it WOULD NOT count towards my overall total due to them not using my preferred contact method and me never approvingThat I could have it as a freebieFurther the person did not meet my established range of criteria (which is why I would've rejected if given a chance)The second and third person they tried to introduce me to also did not meet my criteria so I rejected, and finally they sent me the first person again as my fourth introduction (who, I already rejected and once again, did not meet my criteria)I am happy to provide screenshots of as much of this as I have availableVerbally I was assured during the sale pitch that there was plenty of available candidates that met my criteria and that my criteria was not unreasonable Further I was verbally informed that I could view pictures if I wanted, an option I choose to exercise on the second match because the first match was not anything like had been described to me This is the first time I was told it I was not allowed to preview pictures As stated in my initial complaint, I was told the initial interview would take about an hour, after hours I was given a high pressure take it or leave type sales pitch and encouraged to just initial documents without reading because I did not have time to read (I had to leave to go get my children off bus)So yes, I stupidly caved into the pressure, initialed and signed without reading any fine print and only later discovered what I was lead to believe did not match the detailsI do not contest it however, I was specifically told that if I didn't quickly sign and initial the opportunity would be gone forever , I was told no when I asked if I could come back later in the week to review more thoroughlyIt is clear that this is an unethical business that preys on people in weakened emotional states and takes advantage of them with high pressure sales tactics and mounds of fine print that people don't read or don't understand, I seem numerous complaints and talks of a class action lawsuit online and would be happy to partake in that if you could direct me I am highly motivated to makes sure other people do not get swindled like I have beenFinally, what is not contestable is that after almost months I have no approved a single introduction and they can not provide proof that I have(cause I haven't)If that is holding up their end of the deal then the deal was bogus to begin with (my contention)Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:This is in response to the dispute Philadelphia Singles received regarding our member, [redacted] ***, in the amount of $2,000.00.Philadelphia Singles has a firm “no refund policy” (See paragraph 4aof the contract, which states: “EXCEPT WHAT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THERE IS NO RIGHT TO RESCIND THIS AGREEMENTPhiladelphia Singles does not grant refunds or accept cancellations of any kind, unless otherwise stated in this agreement.”).Once a person enrolls in our membership and pays for our service the sale is finalNo right exists for that person to obtain a refund any time thereafter simply because that person changed their mind.Please note: Philadelphia Singles does not allow for cancellations, as stated above and in the Membership AgreementThe express contract language, which [redacted] signed and initialed, indicating she read, understood, and accepted the terms, states, “Philadelphia Singles does not grant refunds or accept cancellations of any kind....”; therefore, she is well aware of the terms of the contract[redacted] not only signed her name on the Contract but she also signed her initials in eight [8] spaces throughout the Contract (See attached Contract) [redacted] initialed next to 4a of the contract which clearly states the “No Refund” policyThere are no cancellations and no refundsThere are no cancellations by phone, U.Smail or by email — All Sales are Final.On March 10, 2014, [redacted] became a member of Philadelphia Singles, purchasing eight [8] introductions, Selective Screening and six [6] months of “hold” time, which allows [redacted] to temporarily suspend her service for consecutive or non-consecutive monthsParagraph 3b of her contract allows Philadelphia Singles up to weeks before we can begin the matching processThereafter, [redacted] is to receive approximately one to two introductions per eight-week period (see contract, paragraph 3bwhich [redacted] initialed)[redacted] arrived at the Philadelphia Singles location in [redacted] on her own accord [redacted] entered into a meeting and continued this meeting with her enrollment counselor [redacted] took the time to fill out multiple pages of paperwork, discuss what she is looking for in a potential match, have her picture taken for her file and go over her membership options [redacted] looked forward to the start of her programIt is very apparent that [redacted] was more than willing to enter into an agreement with Philadelphia Singles and was well aware of the terms of the contract.At Philadelphia Singles we understand that when people become members of such a personal Service they may second-guess their decision [redacted] has not given her program a fair try [redacted] never opened herself up to the opportunity to successfully find her ultimate match; instead she hastefully initiated this disputePhiladelphia Singles believes [redacted] could have a very successful program if she would move forward with her membership.Philadelphia Singles has provided service as described to [redacted] ***But [redacted] is refusing service.The Philadelphia Singles staff looks forward to continuing to work with [redacted] in the process of finding that right matchPhiladelphia Singles is ready, willing and able to provide further service to [redacted] ***Philadelphia Singles has kept its side of the agreement and has remained within the parameters of the contractOur terms and conditions are stated clearly in the contract (which [redacted] signed and initialed)A chargeback under these circumstances would be very unjust.Sincerely,Philadelphia Singles

Again, we are sorry MsBaldwin is so unhappy with Philadelphia Singles However, she is not telling the truth, and we stand by our initial response Philadelphia Singles did indeed provide her with six introductions, but perhaps MsBaldwin only had contact with two The Membership Agreement is clear that an introduction counts when the member name and contact information is transmitted to the member Over the course of her membership, MsBaldwin received six introductions See below: 8/8/ [redacted] 5/22/ [redacted] 11/5/ [redacted] 8/23/ [redacted] 7/5/ [redacted] 7/4/ [redacted] As stated in paragraph 3bof the contract (which [redacted] initialed), ''An introduction is made when Philadelphia Singles provides you with a name and a phone number of another member.'' Additionally, paragraph 3b(''PREFERENCES'') of the contract states, ''Preferences are used as a guideline for Membership services when seeking potential introductions As introductions are based on an AS-AVAILABLE basis, introductions will be made that are as nearly compatible to a member's preferences at any given time.'' Further, the same clause states: ''Philadelphia Singles, its agents and assigns, do not represent the characteristics, availability, quantity or demographic maof its membership base at any time You, the Member, acknowledge that the membership base changes on a daily basis due to changes in membership status, including, but not limited to: new enrollments, expired membership, members becoming involved in relationships, members traveling, and members temporarily suspending their memberships.'' We stand by our initial response and wish [redacted] nothing but the best If she'd like to receive an additional two complimentary introductions, please let us know

Again, we can appreciate that [redacted] is so frustrated with the company, but Philadelphia Singles has performed according to stated contract terms Of importance, the below discuss what constitutes an "introduction", as well as how "preferences" are used for matching According to paragraph 3bof the contract (which [redacted] initialed), “An introduction is made when Philadelphia Singles provides you with a name and a phone number of another member.” Also, “Introductions are generally provided at a rate of approximately one to two per eight-week period However, as introductions are provided on an AS-AVAILABLE basis, the rate of provided introductions may vary with each individual member.” Paragraph 3c(“PREFERENCES”) of the contract states, “Preferences are used as a guideline for Membership Services when seeking potential introductions As introductions are based on an AS-AVAILABLE basis, introductions will be made that are as nearly compatible to a member’s preferences at any given time.” Further, the same clause states: “Philadelphia Singles, its agents and assigns, do not represent the characteristics, availability, quantity or demographic maof its membership base at any time You, the Member, acknowledge that the membership base changes on a daily basis due to changes in membership status, including, but not limited to: new enrollments, expired membership, members becoming involved in relationships, members traveling, and members temporarily suspending their memberships.” Further, an Addendum to the contract (see attached), signed by [redacted] states the following: “ I understand that my preferences are ‘preferences’ and not ‘requirements’ If at any time Philadelphia Singles is unable to select an introduction who fulfills all of my preferences, Philadelphia Singles will select an introduction who is compatible with my preferences but who may not meet all of the preferences I indicated in my profile.”

Philadelphia Singles stands by its initial response All terms and conditions of the membership are clearly laid out in the written Membership Agreement.As previously stated in yesterday's response, Philadelphia Singles will be reaching out to Ms [redacted] to address her concerns and hopefully remedy the situationMembership ServicesPhiladelphia Singles###-###-####

First and foremost, Philadelphia Singles takes every member complaint very seriously, and it concerns us that Mr Demeraski was so unhappy Philadelphia Singles has a firm ''no refund policy'' (See paragraph 4aof the contract, which states: ''EXCEPT WHAT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THERE IS NO RIGHT TO RESCIND THIS AGREEMENT Philadelphia Singles does not grant refunds or accept cancellations of any kind, unless otherwise stated in this agreement.'')

Additionally, paragraph 3b(''PREFERENCES'') of the contract states, ''Preferences are used as a guideline for Membership services when seeking potential introductions As introductions are based on an AS-AVAILABLE basis, introductions will be made that are as nearly compatible to a member's preferences at any given time.''

Having said that, Philadelphia Singles is generous about replacing the introductions that do not result in meetings or result in very disappointing meetings [redacted] is no exception to this generosityBecause Philadelphia Singles aims to please, Philadelphia Singles will work hard to find the right introductions for [redacted] Based upon an analysis of [redacted] s membership file, it appears that Philadelphia Singles provided service to [redacted] precisely in the manner he contracted forPhiladelphia Singles has performed according to the stated contract terms and services are most definitely being rendered as agreed [redacted] has complained about not being able to see pictures of his introductions prior to receiving them [redacted] has been told repeatedly that this was not an option with his membership, nor any membership for that matter [redacted] ’s contract is also clear on the matter, regardless of how [redacted] claims he did not have the opportunity to read it At Philadelphia Singles we understand that when people become members of such a personal service they may second-guess their decision Customer satisfaction is important to Philadelphia Singles Philadelphia Singles has kept its side of the agreement and has remained within the parameters of the contract [redacted] is not entitled to a refund Senior Management has directed Member Services to reach out to [redacted] to hopefully move forward in a positive manner

I am attaching feedback letters from *** where you will see how elated she was with our services and with the men we were providing her. I believe she got hurt with *** and we became her "punching bag" in the situation. You will see in attached e-mails and correspondences from us
as to how loving and caring we have been through out the process. To be honest it is upsetting when someone who seemed so very happy with her services turns around and is mad at us out of the blue. We wanted to see what we could do to make her content and what avenues she felt would work for her so we are quite perplexed with receiving thisPlease review her profile and the provided feedback's and you will see where we are coming from in our curiosity of this negative situation

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that
this resolution is satisfactory to me. Nevertheless, it should be known thata dating service which charges $3,should stand apart from other agencies by providing the services which the member was offered, but this company could not provide the services it claimed

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I don't recall the six matches because they were so inappropriate that I rejected them just by reading a description of themThere is QUANTITY
Regards,
*** ***

*** *** COMPLAINT
ID ***
First and foremost, Philadelphia
Singles takes every member complaint very seriously, and it concerns us that Ms
*** is so unhappyCourtney, the
primary matchmaker from Philadelphia Singles, was mortified when hearing Ms
***’s complaint to the Revdex.com. She plans
to call Ms*** right away to remedy this because she wants Ms*** to
know how much she does care
However, Philadelphia Singles
has a firm ''no refund policy'' (See paragraph 4aof the contract, which
states: ''EXCEPT WHAT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THERE IS NO RIGHT TO
RESCIND THIS AGREEMENT. Philadelphia Singles does not grant refunds or
accept cancellations of any kind, unless otherwise stated in this
agreement.'').
Once a person enrolls in our membership and pays for our
service the sale is final. No right exists for that person to obtain a
refund any time thereafter simply because that person changed their mind.
Ms*** became a member of
Philadelphia Singles on February 19, 2015, purchasing six (6) introductionsTo date, Ms*** has personally received three
(3) introductions
As stated in paragraph 3bof the contract (which Ms*** initialed), ''An
introduction is made when Philadelphia Singles provides you with a name and a
phone number of another member.'' Additionally, paragraph 3b
(''PREFERENCES'') of the contract states, ''Preferences are used as a guideline
for Membership services when seeking potential introductions. As
introductions are based on an AS-AVAILABLE basis, introductions will be made
that are as nearly compatible to a member's preferences at any given
time.'' Further, the same clause states: ''Philadelphia Singles,
its agents and assigns, do not represent the characteristics, availability,
quantity or demographic maof its membership base at any time. You,
the Member, acknowledge that the membership base changes on a daily basis due
to changes in membership status, including, but not limited to: new
enrollments, expired membership, members becoming involved in relationships,
members traveling, and members temporarily suspending their
memberships.''
Further, an Addendum to the
contract, signed by Ms*** states the following: ''...I understand that my
preferences are 'preferences' and not 'requirements'. If at any time Philadelphia
Singles is unable to select an introduction who fulfills all of my preferences,
Philadelphia Singles will select an introduction who is compatible with my
preferences but who may not meet all of the preferences I indicated in my
profile.''
Based upon an analysis of Ms
***'s membership file thusfar, it appears that Philadelphia Singles is
providing service to Ms*** precisely in the manner she contracted forPhiladelphia Singles is performing according
to the stated contract terms and services are most definitely being rendered as
agreed.
At Philadelphia Singles we
understand that when people become members of such a personal service they may
second-guess their decision. Customer satisfaction is important to Philadelphia
Singles and we look forward to providing Ms*** with the quality service
she contracted for.
Philadelphia Singles has kept
its side of the agreement and has remained within the parameters of the
contractMs*** is not entitled to a refund
Again, Courtney will be
reaching out to Ms*** right away to work to remedy this

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me However, the comment that the conversations were only heard by myself and Harvey and that they will investigate further, leads me to state, again, that Harvey stated that he is the owner, so I am assuming he is also the person who wrote this response While I am accepting this result as I do not think anything further can be done and I wish to put this behind me, as it was frightening, hurtful and personalI feel this treatment was complete harassment and totally violating It is a shame to say these things and scare a single female, all the while, attacking her character Regarding the *** *** hacking, thankfully nothing untoward happened due to my contacting them and assurance that further security was in place As I cannot confirm who was involved, it was interesting that this all happened during the same time frame and after Harvey seemed to know all my personal information about my children, my home and my business.Thank you to the Revdex.com for following up on this investigation.Regards,

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Correct I signed their agreement An agreement is between parties and this company did not fulfill on their terms or promises of their own agreement I wrote evidence of this earlier I've expressed dissatisfaction on the phone to them several times and they were still not fulfilling on their promises which is how it got to contacting Revdex.com I do not wish to proceed with them further in any way and wish to receive a full $2,refund.

The gentleman *** is referring to as VERY Obese is six foot tall and lbsWe did not find that to be very obese in the least and we also have a photo of him and on his profile he states he enjoys working out and lifting weightsWe are quite perplexed at this pointHe also checked off many
of the qualities in which she was looking for such as being very positive, active and funnyWe ask that clients be open minded and optimistic when going out on a potential match*** has been none of the above being actually quite judgemental and harshly critical of everyone and everythingWe have tried to send her men ranging from Accountants to Pediatric ER DoctorsThese are amazing men with extensively wonderful resumes whom *** found to all be unacceptable?! We also ask that clients provide us feedback so we know where they are at in the processShe has yet to send us any on her dates, and then we receive this out of no where complaining about us. This is an important step in being a member and we rely on feedback we never let people slip through the cracksIf she were to send feedback stating she were unhappy or to simply call we would have worked to see what was wrong and how we could rectify the problemAs for Courtney telling her the feedback of "problematic skin" it was only because *** kept prodding her for itI know Courtney would never hurt anyones feelings on purpose ever! She loves clients and is quite good at what she does having many weddings under her beltCourtney always goes the extra mile to make clients happy even if it is one unhappy as ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Again I reject their flimsy excuses for why PhilaSingles did a lousy job of providing servicesI understand there are preferences and there are preferences When you specifically ask for non-smokers and the first referral is a big-time smoker who wore a patchI don't think this is acceptable to anyoneIn addition, he told me PhilaSingles knew he was a smoker, yet referred him anyway hoping I wouldn't notice? I complained about this and they totally agreed and said they wouldn't count himThey then proceeded to refer me to a man who asked how I felt about sex on the first dateIs this an organization you should pay a lot of money to for terrible referrals? I don't think soAs mentioned in my last letter, my final date was with a man from New Jersey who was too old, way overweight, and walked with a caneHe was a new member and also was wondering why they matched us upI was told he mentioned to PhilaSingles that I was unhappy and it was then that I received notice that my membership was being terminatedThey no longer wanted me around to say anything unflattering about them - not becaue my membership was up Each time I complained about a particular referral - with good reason - they said they wouldn't count them and find me another Out of probably about a total of 5-referrals, including the smoker and pervert and 1-I never heard fromThey specifically told me not to call, wait for the man to contact meI NEVER received decent referralI could have gone on Match.com and any number of other services and meet nicer men for 1/10th of the price they chargedIn fact, I did meet someone on Match who I am still datingSo it's not me who is exaggerating here, it is the total fault of this unethical organizationThey don't have enough men to refer so they get desperate and send anybody just to let you think they did their jobWell - they did not!

Philadelphia Singles can understand Ms***'s concerns and appreciates the effort she took to lay out her experience thusfar. While we believe there are some differences (two sides to every story), this analysis has given us the opportunity to really focus on providing Ms*** with the quality service she contracted for. We'd really like Ms*** to speak with Nancy, our new Director of Member Services, so that everyone can be on the same page with Ms***'s expectations. Pamela is no longer with Philadelphia Singles. Courtney remains and really hopes to turn Ms***'s opinion of her and the office around.Regarding the telephone number for Philadelphia Singles, it DID change at the end of June. Because of an issue with ***, the change occurred faster than anticipated and pre-dated the notification sent to all members. For clarity, the new telephone number, which is actually a number we have always had, is ###-###-####.As previously stated, however, Philadelphia Singles has performed according to stated contract terms, and as such, there will be no refund offered.Member ServicesPhiladelphia Singles###-###-####

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I never heard of some of these "so-called" referralsIsn't it strange that I joined in the summer and never hear from anyone at Philasingles for months? This, after they claimed to have many men to refer in my age groupThey seemed to count a phone call as a referral even If I never met them because they were no where close to what I requestedFor the price they charged, that is completely unaceptable, as it would be to anyone in this situation One or two of the referrals I met, for lunch and on the phone only, both agreed that they thought this company would try to match anyone, acceptable or not, just to say they fulfilled their part of the contractYes, whether they like it or not, they are lying about what they did or didn't doFor the money they charge, I believe that clients have a right to object to terrible referrals whether it be they were too old, geographically undesirable, smokers, or they referred clients, but I never even heard from themAs I said and will continue to say, this is a disreputable company that should be put out of business
