CURVES DISCUSSION: Benefits of a Franchisee Lawsuit?

View Comments

• Thanks to that article, CI might be the next one to be "pruned."

• Gee, Me thinks howie already has been pruned and is most defiantly on his way out.
  The million dollar question is how long before Howie ends up back in jail????? Maybe sooner than you think!!!!!

  It has been rumored (inside CI informant) that CI has and is being audited for insurance fraud. Owners are now receiving letters from Silver sneakers telling them that there records submitted to Curves are not correct. But it appears that the owners have submitted the correct workouts but that Curves may have doctored up the books and submitted more than the owners submitted. Of course Howie is claiming that it's the owners who falsified the books. This may put all of the wellness program into jeopardy and if it does and CI loses this wellness program Curves will certainly be a thing of the past as most of the remaining clubs depend on the wellness payments to stay open.

• Many owners are receiving nasty and accusatory letters from Health Ways , Silver “Sneakier stating that
  "your reporting practices resemble the fraudulent reporting of some Curves" and basically stop it or we'll drop you...While some have no return address, no phone number or any information some have had a return address which is the same as the HealthWays address. Many owners are getting upset as they have not over reported workouts but someone is…..
  Well, well, well could it be that Howie is the up to his old fraudulent ways. Somewhere the workouts are being over reported and it has been reported that Curves International has been in the process of being audited and maybe blaming the franchise owners for the mistakes but it is more likely that Howie is forging the books for added income. This fraudulent reporting could be the end of the wellness program for all Curves franchisee and would surly be the final blow to Curves.

• Hey Gene, unhappy must feel that you have problems following directions since he posted the exact same thing three times in a row.

  Or maybe unhappy doesn't like the fact that I posted something earlier, so he is trying to push it down the page.

  All will be so much better when he gets the private Yahoo group set up (wasn't that supposed to happen already), so that way you won't have to worry about someone questioning his posts (because I'm sure that they will be deleted).

  Don't even try to carry on a conversation with such an assh--e. as jd. He has never owned a Curves, tells nothing but lies and tries to put every owner down as if they are the reason they failed. It is obvious that he is pro Howie and yet still tries to deny that he is. He has absolutely no business sense and never will. Most of us on this board just ignore him and don't even read his posts. That makes him very mad and it shows as he than attacks more but who cares his opinion is worthless. We all consider him a sick joke and by not responding he throws his tantrum and tries to say all the advice we give is incorrect. We have all found if we just ignore his posts he disappears for awhile and than like a bad apple comes back. Obviously he has way too much time on his hands and is probably an unemployed garbage collector who’s wife left him high and dry and he tries to make everyone around him as miserable I he is. “Why even respond to such idiotic posts from someone who knows nothing about what the Curves owners have had to go through with Howie’s unethical, immoral and sometimes illegal business tactics. He really should do due diligence on his own life or maybe look in a mirror and realize what a despicable person he has become. We all feel sorry for him and hope some day he will grow up but until then just ignore him!!!!!
