    I sent in my claim form at the appropriate time and I haven’t received anything yet. I can’t to find anyone to give me any kind of answer as it’s 12/30/2015. Does anyone know how to contact the Settlement Administrator?

  2. Crystal Sun says:

    I purchased 4 pairs of toning shoes. But I never received my check. I filled out form with proof of purchase and all correct address. I have since moved but I have post office forwarding my mail for a year from July 2013 to July 2014 to my new address. I have never received a check but figured the class action not completed or something. When will I get a cheque??

  3. PJ says:

    No checks yet. they asked proof of receipt in Feb 2013.We sent it. Still claim is rejected .They just says can not validate. Claim did not need receipts for purchases of 2 pairs to begin with.This is a classic case of Discrimination and abuse .Garden city Group is famous for this. God please get some attorney and take this administrator company to court and fix their upper management behind bars. GCG needs to go Guantanamo
