CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va (WTVR)- If you’re one of the people who pre-purchased a membership to the Sportquest high performance center in Midlothian. You might be able to get your money back.
CBS 6 received the following release from The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services:
The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) is advising consumers that SportsQuest High Performance Center located at 2240 Oak Lake Boulevard, Midlothian, Virginia, closed as of February 27, 2012. Eligible members of this health spa who believe they are due refunds have until May 25, 2012, to file a claim with VDACS’s Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA).
The Virginia Health Spa Act provides that when a health spa facility goes out of business and cannot provide membership at a comparable alternate facility, all contracts are cancelled automatically and eligible members are entitled to receive a prorated refund of the unexpired portion of their contract. SportsQuest High Performance Center did not have a comparable alternate facility and all of its contracts have been cancelled. In addition, SportsQuest High Performance Center has not responded to OCA regarding the issuance of refunds. Therefore, OCA will be issuing prorated refunds to eligible members from the surety filed with that office by SportsQuest High Performance Center.
Members who believe they are due refunds should contact OCA to file a claim. Members must establish eligibility for a refund by submitting a copy of their contract, proof of payment and a completed Health Spa Refund Request form. This form is available at http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/forms-pdf/cp/oca/healthspas/oca02refund.pdf on the VDACS’ website, or through the toll-free Consumer Protection Hotline at 1.800.552.9963.
