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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
