Jeanne McCarthy, 65, thought she'd meet a "quality" guy when she compensated $7,000 for any professional matchmaking service. Rather, she stated she got one date having a guy with three driving under the influence convictions as well as an outstanding criminal warrant.
McCarthy is suing her local Lawrenceville, N.J., branch of A couple of Us, a physical matchmaking service with 15 offices countrywide. Rather than the internet online dating services, like eHarmony, A couple of Us offers professional matchmakers and "offers to arrange 'matches' with another member for that reasons of organizing a dating relationship between individuals people."
A couple of Us "would basically collect a charge from anybody who registered and would simply match people randomly,Inch the suit states.
McCarthy, a technical author residing in Nj, discovered A couple of Us through its marketing campaign and visited the neighborhood office for any consultation. The advertising mentioned that the organization screens its people and works a criminal record check, based on McCarthy's suit, filed on June 4 within the Superior Court of Nj in Mercer County.
She stated she was relayed through an agent that "A couple of Us provides quality matches in the rate of a couple of throughout every two-week period."
McCarthy and her attorney, David Knapp, rejected to comment.
McCarthy is suing PMM Corporation., that is conducting business as A couple of Us in Lawrenceville, for breach of contract, fraud and consumer fraud, and demands her money-back plus unspecified punitive damages. The suit states A couple of Us breached their agreement by neglecting to "provide a couple of matches on the two month period as guaranteed by neglecting to adequately evaluate and screen the matches" known to her.
On Jan. 13, 2011, she registered for any membership deal for a non-refundable fee of $7,000. The agreement states, "A couple of Us offers the first member interview, member testing, background inspections and overall evaluation and screening..."
But she stated A couple of Us provided "couple of matches on the five month period which produced just one date."
"To her horror, [McCarthy] determined that that one date involved a guy with three driving under the influence convictions and [an] outstanding criminal warrant in Arizona," the suit mentioned.
Her date would be a 73-year-old widower from Arizona who informed her he received the convictions after his wife died and it was moving to Nj so he might get a license, based on the Trentonian.
McCarthy wanted a guy 58 to 67 years of age by having an active lifestyle like her, based on the newspaper.

McCarthy "ended the agreement and required an instantaneous refund of her fee. Despite repeated demands, [A couple of Us] has declined to do this,Inch the suit states.
Ethan Baker, A couple of Us' v . p . of procedures and general counsel, stated the organization is not offered yet and may not discuss the particular accusations from the suit.
"We're supplying something that are responsible for peoples' feelings," he stated. "It isn't as if you get one product and you may know if it's defective. Each individual and result varies significantly. One individual might be disappointed with one introduction however the next can result in an eternity with another person."
Baker stated introductions are supplied every 4 to 8 days with an available basis.
"They are never told they are getting one every two days," Baker stated. "That flies when confronted with our contract."
