Be Careful With Financing Companies



Recommended Posts

I have been working with Medicalfinance.com for a month now. My surgery is scheduled for next Friday the 23rd and I was called today and notified that the company that was financing my loan closed thier doors. REALLY?? Just like that?

The verification process is worse than being approved to by a house. I even got a call from the loan company verifiying information from my husband and I the day before yesterday. What the heck???

They say that another company is going to pick it up. But, I don't know what to believe at this point and my payment needs to be received by the 20th

I'm so sorry you are going through this! That's terrible.

Have you tried CareCredit.com? I know I was approved in moments and they are pretty well known, I highly doubt they are close to shutting down shop.

Good luck in your future endeavors! Please let us know how everything turns out.

I'm not sure what to do. I applied with Cosmeticredit five days ago. Haven't received an email, their phone lines just give a busy signal, they haven't replied to my emails. Their website advertises "instant decisions" and I haven't heard ANYTHING. Very disappointed.

Stephanie,

I used CareCredit for some dental work a few years ago. Yes they approved my application pretty quickly, but I didn't ask them exactly what my monthly payment would be and pretty quickly discovered that no or low interest means a high monthly payment. Also CareCredit is a division of General Electric, so I think it is safe to assume they are pretty stable.

Hope that helps some.

Robbie

I was approved in minutes also, the rest of the process with verifications has been just ridiculous. At this point I feel like I have no choice but to stick it out

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
