I purchased a revive franchise in June and now I cannot get ahold of anyone there. My personal coach they promised me has dropped out of sight and will not answer my emails or return my calls. I do not know what to make of it. I am at a loss beause I was promised help but none seems to be available.
I Bought a franchise about 3 months ago and everyone was great then all of a sudden they disappeared off the face of the earth! Did not notify anyone just went out of business. Call your credit card co.if that's how you paid and they will charge them back.Good luck.Do not know why they closed down because the product is good.
well it seems that the same thing has happened to me and my business partner we purchased a vending business from revive on Aug. 4, 2011 and we spoke with or coach a few times and haven't heard from him since. i have filed a complaint with BBB and with Indiana Attorney Generals office on Sept 13th waiting to hear back from them in 10 to 14 days. I think Paul Haverstick ran off with our money.
On Aug. 4, 2011 me and my business partner purchased a Revive Energy Mint vending business, We spoke with or coach 2 times after we got our vending machines and haven't been able to get in contact with him since Aug. 16. So we are thinking the worst that they have closed up shop. So with that being said I have filed a complaint with the BBB and with the Indiana Attorney General's office on Sept. 13, 2011 and we should here back from them in 10 to 14 days. I think they should refund everyone's money and serve some jail time for ripping everybody off.
I as well have put in a complaint about them to the BBB in September and they have put in a major complaint in about them. I don't know what other recourse we have. Please keep me posted.
It seems we are all in the same boat. I am not sure what happenned I have owned my franchise since Sept. 2010. Everything seemed to be on the up and up, has anyone contacted the FBI? It would be intresting to know how many of us bought into this and what they are trying to get away with. I have had 2 numbers that work, but they both have voicemails and I have left countless messages with no return calls as of yet. Please let me know if no own has contacted the FBI, I will start the process now.
I came on board in July of this year. Everything was going well with the training. The last time I talked with Paul was when I placed my first product order on August 16. It arrived on August 23 so I called Paul and from that day forward through emails and phone calls there has been no response. I called the international Franchise Association in Washington DC and they investigated but found nothing wrong. There dues were up to date. Maybe the FBI can help. I don't know. I have tried to recover some through my credit card but nothing yet. I wonder if there could be a class action lawsuit against them on an individual basis.
Same story here. Tried to place an order and could not get through. I've contacted a couple of other franchisees and the story is the same with everyone. I spoke with a business owner friend of mine and he suggested we get together and pitch in to hire an attorney in Colorado to conduct an asset search, look into the corporate structure, who the principles are...
I am having the same issues as everyone else. Last month I went to order product and the website was not up. I emailed Paul and he contacted me from a different number than usual, he told me there was difficulty through the website and he said he would place the order for me. I have had no contact since after making numerous attempts. Please keep me posted on any recourse so that we can be united and hold them accountable for their actions. There is way to much money that the franchisees thave invested to allow this to happen.
Same story from Canada. I have been on board with Revive for 1 year now. All was going good except small things kept happenning which stopped me from going ahead. The latest was issues with Health Canada. Paul and the rep from Health Canada spoke and were in the process of fixing the problems. Then no more contact. Telephone number out of service, voicemail full and emails not being returned. Revive Mints are great and I certainly wish I could find out where in Canada the Mints were manufactured. Please keep me posted.
