I cannot over-emphasize, to the consumers, the need to avoid ANY medical aid provided by any company using Care Credit!!! I am in the process of obtaining assistance from the Office of our Attorney General's
Consumer Advocate in obtaining some relief from this vulture's bad
ethical practices. I have an eight-six year old mother who needed
hearing aids, and the seller led us to believe that Care Credit, a subsidiary of G.E.
Money Bank, would make everything easy by supplying us with a payment book and easy payments. The
hearing aids cost four thousand dollars in contrast to the eight hundred dollars they advertised in a full page ad. After three months without receiving anything, we received a call saying we were seriously delinquent. It seems they had the wrong address. After three calls to correct the situation, they STILL sent the copy of the statements to the wrong address. By some miracle, the Postal Service got them to us, and we IMMEDIATELY mailed a Western
Union money order to them.
Three weeks later, we called (on intuition) to check the balance and they said they hadn't received anything!! I called Western Union and they claimed the money order had been cashed. G.E. Money still claims they haven't received anything and now I have an appointment with the Office of the Attorney General to pursue this matter. In my opinion, which is shared by many others, this corporation is run by a bunch of legal pirates, ranging from from top management down to the operative employees.
