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 also used carecredit to finance part of my surgery (used the credit union for the rest)--got approved within a few minutes online...hope everything works 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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
