CareCredit
reviews and complaints

Paying on a 10k balance on time each month to find out my account was close with out notice. Called 3 times with no resolve and not that much will become of this either as I see they have over 100 unresolved complaints. Kyle “a supervisor” was rude and all about a tough luck attitude. For your medical needs and cost I would advise seeking a loan shark in NY or Vegas before care credit

Dates: May and June 2022

I am complaining about the practices of this bank.

Incident #1:

On April 25, 2022, I sent them a payment in the amount of $50.00 I have deferred interest for one year. My minimal payment was $48.00

Than I get a letter via email that the payment was not received. I called and told them that I sent the check, the amount and the check number. They told me they don't have the check. I told them I would issue another check and if the first one turn up, I will have a credit to my account. On May 12, 2022 I issue another check in the amount of $50.00. The late fee was waived on the first check, however, they changed interest in the amount of $3.52. Finally on May 18, 2022 both check in the amount of $100.00 was recorded as paid. The total interest was $7.24 for 2022 for a no interest card.

Incident #2:

I then noted that my supposed interest free card had reached the deadline and that the remaining balance would be at an interest rate of 26.99%. I decided to pay off the remaining balance of $1361.24 before the due date of June 10, 2022. Because I didn't trust them I sent the check via

certified mail on June 1, 2022. I then called them to make sure they got the check and representative told me they do not have the check and he didn't know where it was. I looked up the tracking number and saw that the check was picked up by a person on June 3, 2022 at the Orlando post office. I called them back and asked them where my check is. They said they did not know and in broken English the rep said he was "experite" this. I think he meant expedite. Again, he also told me nobody picks up checks from the post office in Orlando. I gave him all the information, i.e. check number, amount, certified tracking number. I then called again on June 7, 2022 because the check had not cleared my bank.

I spoke to Bill in Customer Service. Again, I asked if they had the check and when it will be posted as paid. Bill: "We have the check and it will be post when it's posted. I asked why it took from June 3 until June 7 with no posting. Bill: It will be posted when it's posted". I can't believe he was so rude.

I checked my bank account and the check cleared on June 8, 2022. I then called and cancelled my card altogether. They told me I could NEVER open another account ever.

Incident #3:

In May 2022, they sent me a Care Credit Rewards MasterCard. I DID NOT apply or order this or approve it. They sent the actual card waiting for activation. I called and asked why they sent this. They told me just i

ignore and don't activate it. I don't want cards sent that I did not order!

I feel they hold checks hostage to accrue late fees and interest thinking that the customer would not notice. I keep very good records and did notice. It is a waste of my time to have to call 3 times in this case and get rude customer service reps who are not truthful.

In June, 2020 I sought Dental Care at Dental Starz. I was referred to CARE Credit to finance the work I needed. None of which was cosmetic, but involved two crowns, and other work. I was given a credit line in the amount of $4800.00 from Care Credit. I obtained the dental work. And the dental office charged the Care Credit card for the work, on a couple of occasions. Since then, I have paid all of the payments as required by Care Credit. I have been paying nearly $200.00 per month for 24 months (Or $4800.00 to date!). Care Credit now says I owe them $5600.00! After 2 years of on time payments! Care Credit has no signed agreement with me, or disclosure proof.

BEWARE: I have had many credit cards and lines of credit throughout the years, but CareCredit are horrible! They trick you into signing up for their credit cards with an attractive introductory offer, then once the offer expires their percentage rates go through the roof! If you are only ONE DAY late on your monthly payment, they threaten you and lower your spending limit! Customer service is rude, cocky, and suck. I recently took out a debt consolidation loan just to pay off my debt balance with them and to be DONE with them, once and for all. I also destroyed my CareCredit card.

I had a Credit Limit of $20,000 with ZERO BALANCE. I charged all my dental procedures and even for my pet's vet services. I managed to pay off $14k in about 2 years and have had NO late payments and brought my balance to 0. I've recently been a victim of identity theft after moving to a new place and someone got a hold of my SS# and opened up accounts on my name. Needless to say it lowered my credit score significantly, but I am dealing with it. I'm slowly getting everything cleared and the fact that Synchrony, whom I have a High-Yield Savings Account with by the way, closed my Care Credit with a 20k limit and 0 balance without even giving me some kind of notice or at least maybe just lower my credit limit or something..MADE MY SITUATION WORSE. This company gives ZERO "Care" about your "Credit. Forget that I was a very loyal customer and paid my debts on time EVERY month. Perhaps that's what made them mad--that they couldn't get anything out of me. Forget Synchrony altogether. I'm transferring all my funds to another account.

I filed a dispute 4 months ago on a charge that was double charged to my account on a transaction made a couple of years ago, and it is still showing as an expired promotional balance on my account. I am being charged an interest on this amount and I have been calling customer service every few weeks regarding this issue, and every time I called I was told that the dispute have been resolved and was found in my favor. Then why am I still being charged interest? Furthermore, my payments get allocated all over the place and every time I called, I am being told that I have expired promotional balances for different months and would have to pay it off or I would keep getting charged interest. I would spend 1-2 hours on the phone to go over my account and was told my account was clear and that it was a mistake and then I check my account a few weeks later and I see another interest charge! What does it take or who do I need to talk to so that I don’t have to call customer service every few weeks to adjust my account? I have never had to deal with this with any other credit card company.

Pointless to get the app. You can do everything you need to as a guest. ***IF YOU WANT TO PAYOFF A PURCHASE don't depend on the company to automatically take payments and it's all good. They scammed my mom like that AFTER I bragged about utilizing CareCredit. The app won't let you so it's basically pointless to have because you can't manage anything lol. You will need to call into customer service and wait 10 mins for them to FINALLY SHUT UP and reach a representative. They are the only ones that can manage the pay off on your promotional purchases.

I checked my statement yesterday and see for a year and a half they have been charging me a card security charge of $41.00 a month with interest ontop of that which equals a total of an extra $80.00 a month and it's never shown on my automatic payments. It was hidden somewhere and charged and I did not sign up for that and I did it was hidden so I didn't see it initially.

I have paid off this account with its outlandish interest rate and also have paid any residual fees as of 041422 and also asked for this account to be closed.

I received a bill for interest on purchases I have paid off. This is incorrect.

Please correct your records, close my account. Unless I need to report to the BBB abusive action from this company. I cannot access my account online, I cannot call the number on back of my card, I no longer even carry your card.

Chat line is closed. What a scam!

These people lie about the interest. They work with known convicted criminals in the dentistry that have destroyed my mouth. Care credit should owe me for paying a convicted criminal money up front for services I have never recieved & trying to charge me interest for it.

This is the man who set this whole scheme up...

I've had a CareCredit account for a couple of years and now never had any real problems. during the year 2021, I was having some financial hardship as I was sick with Covid 19 lost my job, and had to have surgery. I called and informed a representative of what was going on. She stated that they would work with me then by the time I got out of the hospital my account was closed and accumulated a significant amount of interest charges.

Also, I pay monthly for card secure benefits, that cover any illness or if you are out of work they didn't even give me time to submit a claim which would have covered the balance I owed instead they assured me that they would work with me but instead closed my account.

I recently applied for services as a consumer who extends their credit to the companies to recieve goods or services. I was unfortunately denied under my own credit which is a direct violation of 15 USC 1691 (d)(6) Adverse action. CARE CREDIT has caused harm and deprivation of natural rights. CARE CREDIT has a direct violation of identity theft I did not authorize CARE CREDIT to furnish any inquiries on my credit report.

My banking account statement shows on feb10, feb 17 and feb 25th money was taken out of my account for payments when there should of only been one payment taken out. My account activity on the care credit app shows that money was taken out feb 9 feb 16 then feb 18th. Why are multiple transactions being made a month? I signed up for carecredit for help but so far ive been over charged and its made my credit score drop horribly, stating its because of high credit usage from carecredit even though ive made on time payments myself plus if your adding the money that was taken out of my account then why is it so high? Why am I having multiple transactions a month and why is it killing my credit score

I had my Care Credit account for several years. Around 12/21, I paid off my account in full. After that time, they closed my account for no valid reason. When I called them to inquire what happened, the representative read a letter in my file, which I haven't yet received. Apparently, they said I had derogatory credit, etc. etc., even though I've been paying all my bills on time and my score is around 700. I have worked hard to get this score and now their actions will cause me a lot of problems.

Do not waste your time with this company. Their interest rate is much too high, also.. There are better credit cards, loans you can get out there to pay your medical bills.

Husband received card 2/26/22. I called to activate card so I can make first payment when due. Agent I spoke with wanted to talk to hubby whose name is on card. Hubby gave all info to validate who he is. Then started asking other questions in which I took the phone and tried to explain that the website keeps giving me an error and won't let me register card. He refused to speak to me, the wife, and hung up. I'm so pissed right now as I've had several Care Credit accounts and spent thousands of dollars with this company. If this is how customer service is, I'll cancel both accounts I have with this company. The thing is, I didn't understand what this guys name was, but good thing it's supposed to be recorded. If I don't hear anything back soon, I will take it higher or to anyone that will listen and find out who this agent is and discipline him. Unacceptable!

Open card for dental work the 0 interest for 18 months was the reason I decided to open.

First statement received after due date, I received an email to pay so I did. I didn’t want to be late. Then Jan set up online account in order to view statement that’s when a card security was charged on both statements. Called to dispute charge was told to call # on statement. Call other number M-TH unable tech issue per recording. Friday they update their recording and list a different # call that rep says it could take up to a month and maybe I’ll get reimbursed and maybe it will be terminated.

Late fee unable to set up auto pay.

Received an email to pay and did due to processing time was charge late fee.

My wife and I have been charged over 1, 022 in interest this past 8 months on a card that we were originally told when we applied that it had 0 interest for 12 mo. We have called several times to get interest off and they did not take it off. We were then told to pay the past promo balance. We paid and now they said can't take off interest due to expired promo. Total scam.

I want to file a complaint about a local dentist, please tell me where to address it, thank you. Jaime Posada, [protected]@gmail.com

After securing Care Credit for use at a Good Feet Store, I paid in it for about 6 months- until I had open heart surgery and then was diagnosed with colon cancer. On Dec 10, 2021 I was contacted by CC and offered a payoff of $736.38, as a full settlement. My balance was higher than when I first got the card and after paying on it every month. So I agreed to the payoff and authorized payment over the phone that day. The money came out of my bank account. I received a December 12 email from synchrony bank verifying the payoff on Dec 10. Then on Dec 21, I received a bill from synchrony for an additional balance. Today is Dec 22, 2021, and after 3 phone calls I have been on hold to speak to a supervisor for almost an hour and a half! I am livid!

I have spoken to them regarding of my no-promotional purchase that has been paid off already. for about three months and they keep saying that is fixed that I will only see the promotional purchase but, they continue charging me interests and late fees. today 11/12/2021 I asked to speak to a supervisor after speaking to a rep for 45minutes without solving my issue, she transfer me to "supervisor" and left me waiting for an hour on phone no supervisor came to the phone..
