both clinics work with medical financiers they will take jsut about anyone be aware the rate of interest is much higher than a bank.. so if you ca nget a bank loan do it or mortgage etc. If you are talking to TLBC or SWLC just phone and ask what their financing companies will accept... I know they are higher risk loans so much much higher interest rates

good luck.

It's actually FICO and it just means your credit rating score. All lenders use it and you have to hit a certain score to qualify for different products at different places. Lots of things can affect your score other than just credit alone. The more times people run a bureau on you, the lower the score. The more often you change addresses, the lower the score.

FICO is short for Fair Isaac Co. They started this form of credit scoring.

I didn't know about the changing addresses affecting my credit rating. As someone who's career path includes changing jobs and location about every 3-5 years, this is news to me! I have lived in multiple provinces, and many cities within each province, and this is the first I heard of this. Interesting. My financial advisor has never mentioned this - and she has been my advisor for 20 years. I must ask her this month when I participate in that one and ONLY experience in which all Canadians have the same opinion....doing my taxes! :smile:

Changing your address every 3 to 5 years won't affect it. It's more of a change of address within 2 years. They won't tell you how the credit score is based since they are not supposed to. Since I no longer work in financial services, I am free to say anything I like now. LOL

Thanks Fousilly (Seinfeld fan?) Even with that, in the last 2 years I have lived in 2 cities, and within one of them 2 different addresses. This is such a revelation to me. :cursing: Maybe that opportunity I was thinking of in Edmonton (another province another job) can wait for another year...man, it sounds like I can't keep a job, but that isn't it, honest!!! So many opportunities and my career motto is 'Have a better offer, will travel.

thanks for this insight.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
