GE Money Bank Harassing phone calls!

My daughter is a college student and had a GAP credit card. She paid the balance off almost a year ago. Recently, she started receiving harassing phone calls (several each day). Finally, she gave them her bank information and allowed them to charge her account. We never received anything in the mail at our home address or her college address indicating that there was a balance due to her GAP credit card. We believe it was paid off, but being a naive, young adult she did not have the knowledge to ask the right kind of questions.

We won't be visiting GAP anytime soon if they truly do business with this unethical agency.

GE Money Bank Detailed personal information given!

I applied for a PayPal Plus Credit card through the PayPal website. I was given the number [protected] to call to complete the credit application. I called and provided the service rep ( joe) with all of my personal credit information. I was then informed that I was declined for their card and would receive an explanation in 30 days. I asked why I was declined because I have an A+ credit history. I also expressed great concern that I had just provided him with all my personal credit information and that now I was concerned about who I was really in contact with. He gave me the number to PayPal [protected].

Have I just committed financial suicide? I have been reading all of the complaints on this bank GE Money bank and I am extremely paranoid at the moment!

I also received one of these letters today (2/22/2011). The letter thanks me for being an ongoing PayPal Extras MasterCard account holder. They noticed recent activity on my account that they would like to verify with me. They have tried unsuccessfully to reach me by telephone. Since I don't have a MasterCard, I knew something was up. In addition, my Paypal account has no activity and my phone number on the account is correct. My bank reaches me all the time at that number. Another red flag. Googled the phone number and found your complaint.

Just got one of these letters saying my credit score was lowered and so was my limit for GE MoneyBank because I had delinquency on recently open accounts.

Rather than panic & call the number, [protected] and give the ### criminal on the other end my personal info, I googled the number and lookie what came up!

This is a scam. ALWAYS google the correct number of an agency before giving out your personal info. These SCAMMERS are getting better and better.

You can check your credit report and receive one FREE each year set up thru the US Gov't. AnnualCreditReport.com or AnnualCreditReport.org

This paper actually looked OFFICIAL but it's NOT!

GE Money Bank Scammed saying the payment didn't go through twice, then charged late fee!

I paid the amount in full on the first statement via on line. They said my bank dishonored the charges. They charged me $29 and reversed my payment even though my bank said the charge never presented. So I paid it again thinking maybe I put the routing number in wrong. Again, the same thing happened again and I was charged $29. My bank said it never presented. Then I paid the $29 to pay the account off since they wouldn't waive it and they then... charged me a $15 late fee when I didn't pay late! Now, I can't get a copy of the check to show the date from my bank because they cashed it electronically! I am going to small claims court!

GE Money Bank - Unsolicited phone calls!

Ge money bank has called me 4 times and woke me up every time, 8:15am, to try to collect a debt on my son, he is a"jr", who hasn't lived here for three years. I've given the hindi that calls his phone number, and yet they still call. I've told them every time he doesn't live here, yet they insist on calling me.

GE Money Bank Harassing phone calls!

GE Money Bank has called my cell phone over a dozen times in the last few weeks. Prior to that they called about twice a month. Apparently someone has given my cell phone number as their own and the individual in question owes GE Money Bank some money for a credit card purchase. They refuse to understand I am not the individual they are looking for and insist on continuing to call my cell phone despite the fact that I have told them who I am, where I live, etc. Of course when they search my information they find I am not the person they are looking for and it is a mistake. But the calls continue. I use my cell phone when I am out of my house and do not give it as my telephone contact number. How do I get these jackals to stop calling? How can I find a corporate address for GE Money Bank? I want to file a complaint with the company as these callers have no clue and don't get it.

Over the last two months I have received over 100 calls from GE Money Bank asking for Michael Foreman or Holly Chantile... not sure of the spelling. I repeatedly tell them that there is no one by either name at this number. The number they are calling is my cell phone and they are continually using up my minutes which is costing me money. Every time I speak with someone they tell me that they will remove the number from their records but 1/2 later, I get another call and then another and another, etc. I have had about all that I am going to take at this time. I have contacted my lawyer to find out what I can do to rectify this situation. No one individual should have to endure the harassment and aggravation that I have over the last two months. I tried to be nice at first but I am no longer nice when I talk with them on the phone. I am sure they are calling as a bill collector and it is not my bill! They need to find another way to contact these people and I am sure my attorney can steer them in the right direction!

I have told them that I don't live where I live, yet they call 3xs per day..no lie! I have asked them repeatedly to send me monthly statements that I don't have time to always go online to check out my statements, which they don't send anyway even when I requested it at one time, yet I continue to get charged for late fees. How can I get charged late fees for bills I NEVER receive. I have even went as far as writing them a good old traditional letter and the calls don't stop and the bills still don't come. I am reporting them to the BBB.

GE Money Bank Fraud and cheating!

GE Care Credit issued credit in my name to an ex-wife of mine. Candace Browder and I had been divorced for 15 years. I found out 2 mos after the account was opened because I checked my credit report online. I followed procedure, contacted credit bureaus, filled disputes, contacted GE Care Credit. Then filled a police report for identity theft. Credit bureaus deleted the fraud, and thought things were fine. I am pursuing Candace Browder to the fullest extent the law will allow.

So what does GE Care Credit do to help? They send half of the information to the officer in charge of the investigation and refuse to send the rest. GE REp Rachel Barker [protected]) told me to suponea the records. That GE will no longer help in the investigation and are therefore complicit in the fraud perpetrated against me.

I did not open the account. GE knows it is fraud and they are still pursuing me to repay. They are liars and thieves. They however have an inside line to the credit bureaus and not one cares about justice. Try to talk to a human being at one of those places.

Thank the good lord for the BBB. They were able to get this case resolved for me in my favor. GE sent me a letter of apology stating that the account has been cleared as they are sure this card was obtained without my consent.

GE Money Bank My account was closed!

After paying my account off in full, I was about to buy a watch. I called to see if I could get an increase. After going through several automated menus, I reached the 'credit' department. The person asked me a few questions, then hung up. I called back [again after navigating through numerous sub menus] and was told my account was locked out. I was told I would receive a letter indicating what steps I would need to re-activate my account. Subsequently, I received a letter indicating what steps I would need to take. I sent in the required information. That was a month ago. My account is still locked and I have not received any correspondence or acknowledgment of my letter.

Basically, there is no customer support. The only option is to send a letter to a PO Box in Texas. There is no phone# to call and lodge a complaint. The associates that you do speak to aren't authorized to give any type of answers. I have had an account with GE Money for over 5 years. Overall, I would rate their customer service at -10. Having dealt with numerous banks and credit card companies, I would say GE Money is on par with Aspire Visa [on par as in same poor level of accessibility]. If you have a problem, you are out of luck.

Ge money bank is a fraud. I have had a jc penneys account approved and then closed out after i paid it out due to them finding out i had filed bankruptcy and this account was never apart of the bankruptcy. Then i received a letter on today about another account i paid off and i haven't been using it and they tell me that they are going to close it due to non use and my previous credit history. My take is why approve me for credit and then take it away. Also, my son cosigned for one of these accounts and his credit is messed up because the bankrupty account is showing up and he never was a part of the bankruptcy. I am demanding that all accounts with GE money bank be deleted from my credit bureau and his too.

GE Money Bank Terrible experience!

I received a bill for my membership to Sam's club. I did not want to renew it, do sent a letter to GE Money indicating I would not be renewing my membership and cancel my account. The fee was 40.00. A month later I received a letter confirming cancellation and informing me my balance was Zero. Within 2 months they reported to the credit bureau a 40.00 delinquency and reflected it as a "charge off'". I challenged the issue through my crediting reporting agency, who questioned GE. Their response was "it's accurate". No change on my credit report. I then sent a letter directly to GE and they didn't even have the courtesy to explain the transactions, only sent me copies of the statements, one reflecting the 40.00 and they other zero. So, do they expect me to pay for something I didn't want and told me so. It's still on my credit report as delinquent.

Please go to you tube view a clip that shows you exactly what they really think of customers who post complaints. Type in GE Capital Retail Pay Pal. You will know it is the right clip by the green snakes. I don't know how these people that work for these corporations sleep at night. I hope people go to prison.

They DON'T CARE! They just want to shut you up so you will not post complaints & make them look bad which they are very bad not to mention EVIL.

GE Money Bank Terrible experience!

I also have a problem with this company - but my approach is different. It won't do you much good to write to the addresses on the back of your statement. It will only go to drones who don't CARE that you have a problem. You'll shake up their coffee clutch if you tell them that YOU are setting the Playground Rules as to just how you expect them to correct your billing - and give them 10 days to respond. Keep a copy of this letter and send it certified. Be sure to mention that you will be emailing every dentist, every vet, every doctor who has signed up to be a part of their "network" (and make sure you do this - giving links to the complaints as proof to these care providers.)

Don't expect any results there - But Wait, there's more!

No matter what state you are in, GE Money Bank, a.s. must register with your Secretary of State - AND GIVE THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THEIR SERVICE AGENT. This is the "key" to everything. Now, go down to your court house and fill out a small claims form for the amount you feel they should reimburse you, or owe you. The court clerk will then send this, certified, to the Service Agent.

This means that a court date will be set, and all you will have to do is appear and show Good Service (the clerk that sent this to the Service Agent will also have sent a postcard to show a signature that it was received.) This means that someone at GE Money Bank has to get off their duff, and appear in court on YOUR turf. It isn't going to happen, folks. I went through a similar thing with Washington Mutual. They didn't appear (of course), I won the judgment and I sent a copy of same to the Chairman of the Board of Directors demanding instant payment. I had it within 48 hours via FedX.

By the way, the Chairman of the Board for GE Money Bank is Gerard Ryan and their corporate office is 3135 Easton Tpke, Fairfield, CT [protected]

Never give up the fight and don't be intimidated.

Back in March I called the number on the bill for Care Credit/GE Money. I was having trouble coming up with that months payment and I was "granted" a deferred month. They said there was nothing else I had to do. No double payment no fees. Before April's due date I recieved about 10 calls a day stating I had to pay my bill, that i was late. When I tried to explain I was told no such thing ever is done. I paid the April bill, and each and every month sine I am charged with a $35 late fee. No one will remove these charges. Oh and by the way, the woman on the phone (cleary from India) stated she could not understand my speech.

I used GE Money Bank aka Care Credit as the finance company. Before payments were even due, on my first statement, their systems were incorrect! They wouldnt listen to anything i was saying, so immediately i had to have a conference call set up between all 3 parties. After being assured that GE Money systems were corrected, here I am a couple years later, with negative marks on my perfect credit record due to their system never being updated CORRECT INFO! No matter who i speak to, all they do is demand payment for amounts i do not owe! Late charges, penalties--now collection agencies--- it's uneard of! Letters from third party company, etc., whatever is necessary to resolve this issue promptly and once and for all is what i'm working on now. Not to mention, they call me between 12-30 times each business day! I'm so appauled with this company & the incompetent individuals working for it.

Very similiar story happened to me- I have been paying on an HH Gregg account for the last year via bill pay thru my bank. When I knew my promotional period was comin to an end I started trying to call into the customer service hotline to get my payoff. Each time I called, whether it was automated or person, they stated that it was an invalid account, hence I could not retrieve the information needed for payoff. I questioned this since I had been paying on that account # for nearly a year! Come to find out, they had listed the 2nd card holder, an old roommate of mine, as primary! Now they are stating that I owe 527.47 interest accrued and that there is nothing that they can do, as the finance charges are valid. How could he be primary when they spoke with him and declined him? Hence I had to apply primary and added him to help his credit?!?! I AM GOING TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT AFTER THEM AS WELL! WILL NEVER DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN!

I found out about the default by pulling my annual credit report and saw my FICO score went from a 763 to a 652 without notice. I am gonna take this bank to the cleaner both military and civilian.

I am in the middle of an ID Fraud Investigation where an individual opened a PayPal card with GE Money Bank in my name. This started back in 8-08 and was
done in Euro currency. GE Money has not removed this adverse info from my credit report and has resulted in a low FICO score causing all creditors to raise my interest rate and lower my credit limits.

Thanks for the good advice. I have been trying to get money back they owe me now for SIX months! I can't tell you how many hours I've spent on the phone trying to get this settled. And EVERY drone is not only snippy and rude, but they all give you different and contradictory information. This is a useless company that depends on people just giving up.

GE Money Bank false billing/theft/fraud

Loan companies love late payments and hate online banks. GE Money Bank has solved this problem by simply issuing false billing statements and illegally obstructing the victim's efforts to resolve the 'error'. In my case GE flatly denied receiving a payment sent them online by direct deposit from a reputable bank.
I opened a credit card with GE in Dec. 06 with 0% interest on transfers for one year. I programed my bank to automatically pay them online every month and the first payment was received and credited correctly by GE's computers. On the very next statement, GE declared that no payment was received in January 07 and immediately hiked the interest from 0 to 24.99%. (All subsequent payments were processed correctly.) I called GE (twice) to report the "billing error", the second time with the confirmation codes in hand. GE customer service flatly refused to accept my call. I asked them to do a elementary computer search which could find the 'lost' payment in five minutes. I was told "That is strictly against company policy. You must submit a written letter with a bank transcript." I sent a letter and it was ignored, as I knew it would be. The moment that GE refused my call I knew the billing statement was a lie. (I know enough of computers to know that online banks don't make mistakes.) I trust that you know how a 'letter runaround scam' works. and I refuse to play this sucker game any further. I did some investigating that confirms my suspicion of fraud. The FBI told me that GE could have used the codes to find the 'lost' deposits in ten minutes. My bank informant explained that GE needed neither codes nor transcript to fix my account. GE has records of the money they received from my bank account and are refusing to consult those records, demanding a transcript under false pretenses.
On examining the evidence (I have documents) there is virtually no doubt that GE issued a false billing statement with the intent to steal, breach a contract under false pretenses and defame my character. (Their dishonest customer service policy removes all any doubt that the false statement might be an 'error'.) But note this: GE's obstruction of my report may be more than an "unfair billing practice": it is probably a criminal act. Most states (if not all) have laws about "misplaced funds", such as a check that is cashed but not properly credited to an account. The law obliges an honest company to restore a misplaced fund to its rightful owner by any means necessary, whether he complains or not. Any company who willfully interferes with such a report by a client with the intent to pocket the money is guilty of obstruction and theft. That is clearly GE's motive and such a dishonest customer service police shows this company capable of issuing false billing statements. It also shows that my case is not isolated: GE must be doing this to people on a systematic scale, by the hundreds or thousands. GE Money Bank is a criminal operation.
I submitted this case to the Office of Thrift Supervision (Dept. of the Treasury). I don't know their reaction yet.

Bank of American is doing the same thing. My wife and I both opened separate credit card accounts with BOA for 0% interest for 12 months. You know the accounts that are for some university or cruise line or some other name but it is really BOA.

I also talked to two friends and found out they had gotten the same deal as well. We paid off higher interests loans and consolidated balances. Their first statement was received about 14 days before the first payment was due and they immediately mailed the payment. The checks were deposited six days later.

The second billing statement, however, never came. I called on our accounts anyway and made a payment on the phone so it would not be late. I also mailed a check anyway to the same address since I did not get a statement. Sure enough BOA said they got the payment late even though I had sent it 10 days prior to the due date. Essentially the day I should have received the statement.

A very obvious situation showed up because this happened on all four separate accounts at the same time. So we did a little experiment.

Over the last three years I have closed some accounts and then opened new accounts and guess what the second statement never arrives and BOA kicks the rate up. I have a bank line of credit so I can pay off the accounts and close it then open another one a few weeks later and it has happened six times. So BOA is running a scam and deceiving the American public.

Pluse it said it was an attempt to collect a debt. We know this is not true so what are they trying to pull ? I called their Customer Service Dept. and they wanted the acct. number on the letter there was none so then it wanted his SS#. Well guess what.

GE Money Bank TOO AGRESSIVE

I ONCE HAD A SEARS CARD THAT I OPENED UP WHILE IN FLORIDA FOR A SUMMER AT AGE 20. AFTER THAT I WAS UNABLE TO PAY ON THIS CARD BECAUSE I MOVED TO ALBANY, N.Y. FOR SCHOOL AND MY BILL WAS BEING SENT TO MY HOME TOWN IN SYRACUSE N.Y., THIS LED TO ME NOT PAYING ON TIME AND RECIEVING LATE FEES AND OVER LIMIT FEES THAT I COULD NOT PAY. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS WITH SOMEONE FROM SEARS THEY SAID I COULD JUST PAY IN THE STORE, THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A CAR WHILE IN COLLEGE AND THE ONE SEARS IN ALBANY DID NOT HAVE DIRECT BUS ROUTE. I HAD A BALANCE OF ABOUT 300-400 AND DID NOT HERE FROM SEARS FOR A LONG TIME. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I STARTED GETTING LETTERS AND CALLS FROM SHARINN& LIPSHIE AND THEY TOLD ME I OWED OVER 800 DOLLARS, DOUBLE MY LAST BALANCE. I TOLD THE AGENT WHO CALLED ME I WOULD LIKE TO START PAYING THIS OFF. UNFORTNETLEY, I COULD NOT AFFORD TO GIVE THEM THE CLOSE TO 300 DOLLARS AT THAT TIME, THEY WANTED TO PUT ME ON A PAYMENT PLAN. FAST FOWARD TO DECEMBER 2007 AND THEY NOW WANT ME TO GO TO A CIVIL COURT IN A TOWN I DON'T EVEN LIVE IN ANYMORE.

GE Money Bank Returned check fee due to input error!

On 12/16/07, I attempted to make an online payment using GE Money's web site, paying the balance in full roughly one month prior to the end of the promotional period. In noticing the payment did not clear my checking account on 12/19, I contacted the Customer Service area and spoke with a representative. In reviewing the payment information, he indicated that (per his records) the ABA routing data was correct, but per his file, I had inadvertently (or had I?) input an incorrect digit in my account number. He indicated that he would make a note of the input error in the file, and did NOT indicate that a fee would be assessed. He also offered to make the payment for a fee ($15) over the phone, but he confirmed that the payment did not have to be received until mid January to avoid finance charges, so I opted instead to use a statement I had and mail a check in, which I did immediately following my conversation, still with WEEKS to go before expiration of the promotional period.

On 12/20 the above referenced account was assessed a $29.00 Returned Check Fee related to the attempted online payment, despite my having spoken to them on the 19th.

As the information to post a correct entry was provided to GE Money Bank on the 19th, AND I expressed a willingness to have the correct transaction processed at that time (but not for an additional fee), I have been attempting to contact the customer service area to reverse the $29.00 fee upon receipt of my check for the ORIGINAL balance (pre $29 charge) to clear the account balance. At this time I am still trying to make contact with GE Money Bank, but based on others' complaints, I hold little hope for a satisfactory resolution. It appears that they thrive on making it difficult for customers making on time payments in full, and interestingly, afford customers no way to reach customer service online via email, instead forcing interminable waits on their "customer (non) service" line.

I am even wondering whether I actually made an input error, or if GE Money Bank intentionally created the error to generate a return item fee (and possibly finance charges and late fees had I not noticed the error until receipt of my bank statement in January).

I paid in full on the day it was due and they said it was 2hrs. late so they charged me $39 for a $0 balance for 2 hrs late according to them. Then they changed my billing to e-bill. I received an e-mail from them stating I had a statement arrive. I never checked because it was $0 balance. Another month I get another e-mail.

One day a paper bill comes in and it is from World Market. I happen to open it and I am 60 days late with alte fees and penalties on a $0 balance. It totaled around $96. I have never been a day late on my accounts and this shows up.

My credit limits to everyine has been lowered due to the recent delinquencies. n My Home Depot went from $9000 limit to $600. I am getting credit servce letters. They suck!

I had the same exact problems. Mine included a complaint about the actual transaction being fraudulant. I filed complaints with (1st) GE Moneybank where they sided with the crooked merchant, (2nd) a BBB complaint where they did not enforce my rights, finally 3rd I sued that merchant (A Dentist) in small claims court, I won that case, got paid and now still having many problems settling with GE Moneybank. I cannot get the fair interest reversal and this is one big nightmare. Does anyone in this country regulate banks anymore?
I'd love to hear from an attorney who can go after these creeps asap. Help! Help!

GE Money is a real joke, they call and tell you that your payment is late and need a payment so you give them your debit card number by phone and bye bye money you never paid them. Then the phone calls start at 8:00am and run thru 10:00pm 7 days a week. If you pick up your phone you're the bad person, oh and then you can't understand a dang thing they say gr...
Now they state that your debit card is no good, but you can watch them take $1.01 from it 6 times in one night. I mean what the dang, Scam artist is right. How do i turn them in, I've had it with them...

I too paid off an account with Ge Money Bank for a Rooms To Go and a Care Credit account. The Care Credit pay off check i sent in was submitted fro less than it was written for to the bank. I received a bill from Ge Money for $200.00 plus finance charges. They refused to do anything about it so I called my bank asked them not to resubmit the check and only paid the balance that was not submitted. I refused the finance charges. The Rooms to Go account was paid off I received a letter saying my account was settled for $1000.00 but was actually almost 3000.00. Called they said couldnt find my information and was put on hold and they never came back to the phone. They are scam artists!

I saw your post on the board - I am going through the same thing now. I made a small payment a couple of week’s before the payment was due to avoid interest and then went in to pay it all off a week before. The payment section auto-filled in the account information with **** for the first 4 characters. I assumed it did it that way on purpose. Submitted payment. Never cleared. Checked back in about 8 days and had fees, interest and they blamed me. Do you recall if yours auto-filled in too? Wondering if system is set up to deceive. I cannot go check because my account is locked out for sending a bad check and fraud department is all over me (even though payment was corrected and made same day I found out it was wrong).

I, too, was charged for a late payment sent from my bank although I made the payment within the bank's suggested deadline to reach GE on time. GE could not give me any information to explain why they did not credit my payment.

I didn't know that so many people had these kinds of problems with this company.

This same type of error recently happened to me. I had sent an online payment well before it was due, and received an e-mail saying that it was cleared. On my next bill, I had a returned check fee and late fee. I had my bank information SAVED on the website and sent it in just like every other month, and they claim it was my error. I called their customer service number, and I could not get someone who spoke fluent English. They just kept reading the prompts they are supposed to read when they hear certain phrases. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they refused, kept interrupting me, and eventually hung up on me. I know that the reversed payment was GE's "mistake."

GE Money Bank Applied interest to paid off account!

I paid off a one year interest free account. This month I had another statement arrive reflecting the interest charges. I paid it well in advance so I would have the balance paid off. They state they never received the payment. I spoke with a Dan Griffee who was very rude to me as a customer. He refused to let me speak with his boss who I was told was named Todd Beutel. He said he would never let me speak with his boss as it was company policy. My interest was $278.91. I am paying off all of my GE Money Bank accounts and closing all of them. From now on I will never do business with and company who uses them to do their finances.

Have either of you got this resolved yet? I, too, opened an account in Nov. 2007 and have pd 200.00 p/mo. My account should be around 1,000.00. When I went to pay online almost 90.00 had been added for finance chgs. The only reason I opened this account was for the no int fees for a year. I have plenty of cards with less interst that I would have used. I can't get customer svc as it is too late (after listening to 20 minutes of their automated svc). But if they don't resolve this you think that they could be sued for fraud. Or at least the store that offered this "deal".

I opened an account on 06/11/2007 as a "Pay Deferred Interest" account. Specifically this account was opened in the amount of 1,369.00 with no interest for one year.
On 07/27/2007 I sent a payment of 600.00 into GE Money Bank. On 10/24/2007 another payment was sent in the amount of 300.00. On 11/20/2007 another payment was sent in the amount of 469.00. On this check I wrote "payment in full per contract agreement". GE Money bank has tacked on 169.00 worth of late fees and interest even though they were paid well in advance of the one year and even though the payments I sent were way in excess of the 20.00 a month they asked for. They are rude to talk to on the phone and absolutely refuse to correct this problem with threats of more interest and fees.

GE Money Bank Did not receive 1st bill etc

• December 2006: In response to an ad for a free exam, I called Dr. Donald M Fox’s office (915 Court St, Clearwater, FL) to make an appointment for my daughter. Debbie Fox answered the phone and urged me to come in right away even though I told her I wanted to make the appointment for January after daughter’s 12th birthday.
• At the “free exam”, Dr. Fox examined daughter and presented a report. Debbie explained the report; she stated my daughter would need an expansion retainer then braces to correct her teeth and that it would take 18-24 months.
• Debbie asked about insurance. I explained that I am a low income customer and my children were covered under the State of Florida Healthy Kids/CompDent Plan and that I had checked to see that Dr. Fox was on the list of approved providers. Debbie said that treatment isn’t covered by CompDent, however, their office would give us a 25% discount. She said the “free exam” was now a “consultation” which is not free. She charged $198.75 which I paid in full by check. She referred me to Care Credit by GE Money Services to cover the treatment cost. I told her I’d like to get an estimate from more than one credit company.
• That afternoon, I applied for two credit accounts and was approved by both companies. Debbie was notified of the approval and called me right away to come in and sign paperwork for CareCredit. I told her I wanted to use Capitol One because it had a lower interest rate. She told me that she was not happy with that bank or their terms and encouraged me to go with CareCredit by GE Money Services because they are easier for her to work with. I was reluctant, but agreed to do what she wanted because she was so adamant.
• Debbie explained the total cost for treatment was $6,420, but Dr. Fox would honor a 25% discount since I was a low-income customer. That brought the fee to $4,815, but then she added on $433.00 (not sure for what – can’t read her handwriting) so the total was $5,248.00 which they charged my account in full right away January 11, 2007 even though I had not received services yet.
• In mid-February I received a phone call from the CareCredit GE Money Bank collections department, notifying me that my account was past due. I told the customer service representative that the account was brand new and couldn’t possibly be late. I had not used the account yet and I had not yet received a statement. She verified my address, etc. I continued to receive phone calls from CareCredit collections dept over the next few weeks. I told them I still hadn’t received a statement and asked if I could view the statement online. They said I was not allowed to create an online id to view my statement since the account was in default. I worried it wasn’t really them, but a phishing scam so I refused to pay via telephone.
• Eventually, I received my first statement. It was dated March 3, 2007. The account was delinquent and overlimit (with fees). Furthermore, my interest rate went up from 11.9% to 28.990%. I tried resolving the issue via letters and phone calls, but had to give in and pay what they demanded for fear of reporting to a credit agency.
• Meanwhile, daughter received an expansion retainer February 26. That is the only service we’ve received from Dr. Fox. A $5,248.00 upper expansion retainer.
• I have written letters, made phone calls and sent extra payments to Care Credit. They refuse to lower the interest rate or acknowledge the first statement was not received by me.
• Recently, I called to complain again and beg for a lower APR. I asked to speak to a supervisor, Kim, who asked me what does “being a single working low-income mother” have to do with my “delinquent account”. I explained to her that this account is unfairly expensive to those who can’t afford it most. Furthermore, it is common sense that a person in my situation has very limited time to deal with even this type of injustice. Dr. Fox’s office knew I was a low-income single mother with no support and it was reflected on my GE Care Credit application. The GE Money Bank account representative working with Donald and Debbie Fox was fully aware.
• My account is not in default, nor has it ever been in default according to my records and the credit agency records. I did not receive statements in a timely manner, I was not allowed to sign up for an online account right away. When I did, I signed up for the automatic payment…which conveniently never happens. Furthermore, I’ve sent way more than the minimum payments even though I cannot afford it, in an effort to reduce the amount of unfair finance charges.
• Most importantly, it was not clear to me, the low-income consumer applying for a loan to cover a necessity for my child, that a payment received 1 minute past the due date would result in a 28.99% APR that lasts the life of the account. I agreed to accept this loan on the basis of an 11.99% APR and a fixed payment of $138.00 per month for 4 years. My credit reports correctly show this account has never been 30 days late.

I agreed to sign up with Care Credit through GE to be able to get dental work done. When you call them some of their employees are very rude on the phone.
They don't want to listen to what you have to say. They are only interested in saying in what they have to say. Some of them really have attitudes.
I wish I never had to use them and have closed my accounts but still have to pay what I owe. I would not recommend them. Too bad because so many
people need medical care that they can't afford. Stay away from this company.

I got this credit card 14 months ago to have some eye surgery done as 18 months same as cash. My first
payment I sent them an electronic payment. I received an email saying they received the payment.
After that I finally got a statement in the mail, they said they did not receive this payment . I called them and after much grief they said they would take off the late fees. I am paying my account off early
today so I called to get the payoff. Of course there was a 1.50 late fee and they said I had a 29.00 returned
check fee from my first payment. Funny thing that has never been listed on my statement. I am paying the 1.50 because the highest level employee I spoke with said she could not take that off my account. She
advised she did not have to give me her last name . This will be the best 1.50 I have ever paid knowing I
will never use this company again.

yes, call again and ask to be transfered to a superviser. advise them that you understand it was a mixup, however it has now affected your credit report. nicely explain that you didnt pay because you were in the middle of a fraud case and didnt realize these charges were not part of the fraud because you didnt recognice the name or location of the charges. Ask if they can please remove the bad mark from your credit. if not, go online to the 3 major credit beaurus you get to pull your credit once for free per year from all 3 buearus. Dispute online the negative marks. explain why, the credit buearu will be able to fix it. infact they should be the first place you checked. The truth is, i understand it was a mix up, on the other hand though it wasnt a GE error either. That, combined with the fact that 99 percent of the time we arent able to change something thats been directly place on your credit report because we arent the credit beauru. so they arent lying if they tell you that they cant do it

I have Care Credit. It was pushed to me by my dentist as well. I signed up for paperless online payments, and you would think they would invest some of that money we give them to improve their online payment process. However, their website does not even work sometimes if you want to pay your bills online. I go online to pay one day, their system completely stopped working for like 3 days. Then I became late for my payment, and my APR jumped from like 4% to 24%. Because of that, my balance has not reduced although I have been paying like $150 a month for 2 years already. I'm still making payments because I do not have time to deal with them right now. But I will make sure I get my money back.

Sadly, I kept getting collections calls although I had paid the bill. They have the most ignorant robots working for them in the collections. I do not spend a minute explaining to them. It's plain waste of time. I suggest everyone deals with banks like this with persistence. I'd rather spend a dime dealing with greedy banks like this to get my penny back. Capital One is no better. It is in their best interest that we are late so they can make more money by hiking the APR and charging us late fees.

I am so angry at these ****. I opened the account for my husband for a hair transplant. At the time my identity was stolen and I was dealing with the creditors so I was very paranoid about any charges I didn't recognized. That's when they started billing me and when I called the company they told me I had opened the account in Ohio for Dental work. I live in California so I immediately took it as another case of fraud. I put in the fraud report and was hesitant to pay the debt. This went on for two months until finally the clinic where my husband got the procedure done called me to question as to why I had put in the dispute...I called Care Credit again and I told them about the confusion they cause and they told me that they would take care of it since this had happened before. So to make a long story short they charged me the interest that they were suppose to waive for 15 months and they reported to the credit bureaus the late fees. When I called to complained the supervisor made me feel so stupid and told me it was my fault and that I should have anticipated the charges... So now I'm stuck with $43 of interest every month and a 60 day late fee on my credit report.
Is there anything I can do? Help!

I completely agree with the other negative comments on CareCredit through GE. They are rip offs. I had them set up my account to do auto pay through my checking account. He argued with me that it needed to be set up 2 days after the due date, but I wouldn't be charged a late fee. EVery month I get a late fee charge and they say they won't refund and they can't change the date. They hung up on me 4 times today. They are dangerous, do not have anything to do with them. I wish they didn't have my financial info, there's no telling what they will do with it. Go to the bank or anywhere else to get a loan, because these people will rip you off every way they can.

I had almost the same problem. I signed up for CareCredit thinking I could opt for the longest payment period and the lowest payment. Within a few months, I found out that the higher my balance, the higher my payments went. I stopped going to the dentist, and sometime later I stopped paying my account, and turned it over to a Consumer Counseling Agency. Payments to CareCredit/GEMoney started in January. GE Money is still charging me finance charges and late fees which exceed the payment. Not only that, they have not acknowledged the change of payee. For some reason, they are also crediting my account with $20 less than the payment sent to them. My counselor asked me for a contact name and fax number so he could contact them directly. Unfortunately, this information is not listed anywhere on my statement. I had previously written to GE Money asking for clarification and acknowledgement of the change of payee. This was over a month ago, and I have not received a response of any kind from them. As of my current statement, my account balance is $600+ higher than when I turned it over to CCC. I told them if they continue to charge finance charges, and refusing to work with the counseling agency, I will simply stop all payments altogether, and they won't get anything. My counselor is currently working on making contact with a live person, and getting this straightened out. I'm 76 years old, low income, and chances are I will be dead before they get all their money, so I don't know what they hope to achieve by stonewalling. It's a very stressful situation for me right now.

Read all the other comments on these scammers. I recommend you pay them off in-full immediately with a certified check; borrow the money if you have to. Any long-term relationship with these [censored]heads will cost you way more than you intially borrowed. There are several class-action lawsuits that have been filed and/or are pending. You may wish to see if there is one in your area. I have sued them as well...no results as of yet.

GE Money Bank Stolen Money/Fraud

My mother has had a insurance policy thru her JC penny's credit card. She has made the payments for the insurance faithfully for years. In July my parents had to file for brankrupcy. She re-affirmed the JC penny's account and continued to made the payments for the insurance. Come to find out JC Penny's closed her account without notice and instead of re-laying the payment to the insurance company they just credited it to a closed account. She had made two payments toteled and none were sent to cover her insurance policy. Now her accident insurance has lasped and she is not covered even thuogh she has paid. The insurance company states that they want a double payment to re-instate her policy and JC penny's through GE money Bank just give her the run around on the refund of the payments she did make. Why did JC Penny's cash her checks in the first place if the account was closed?

GE Money Bank Late Fees and More Late Fees

I just found out how unethical GE Money Bank is. I purchased a DRpower grader though Country Home Products about a year ago, approximately 6 months after the 6 month free trial, I started receiving phone calls from GE Money stating that I was behind in my payments. I stated that this was impossible, because all my monthly payments where made on time every month though my bank online.

To make a long story short.. I was told by GEMB that I was not paying off the purchase quick enough and that the had raised my payment from $30 to $84 a month. As of today, I'm $384 behind in late fees. It will be a cold day in hell before I give GEMB anymore money, I will be contacting my attorney to see what recourse I have to put a stop to this rip-off.

One of the reasons I purchased the DRpower grader, was the advertisement on Country Home Products website **Flexibility to make low monthly payments or pay in full. (see below)

I will never do business with GEMB again!

This organization is involved in sharp practice, which in the case of a promotional loan I took out involved charging an APR of 35% - which includes interest on accumulated late charges.

It will be a cold day in hell before I use this organization again and my company will be refinancing our GE Capital lease programs with another lender (up for renewal, lttle do they know).

They may be up $600 from me personally, but they're down an order of magnitude more from the above.

Further, I will never do business with GE again to the extent that it is possible to buy alternative light bulbs, washing machines etc etc.

I cannot begin to express the contempt that this organization should be held in.

Care Credit is GE Money and GE Money is owned by GE. I have emailed them at https://www.ge.com/contact/contact_form.html

I mailed payments for my account on November 3rd. I have always made payments on time and usually made more than the minimum payment. I received a call from GE's collections dept yesterday. I could barely understand her because she was in INDIA. These big companies should be ashamed of themselves. (I digress) she wanted me to make another payment on the phone with her. Their is no way I was going to give her my banking info over the phone to someone in INDIA. So now I have to watch my bank account to make sure it gets posted.

I too wish I had come here and read up on GE Money Bank. My story is that I used them in Nov. of 2009 to finance my furnace. My agreement stated that I had until Dec. 9 2010 to pay off the balance. Well, I was down to $3280 on Nov.22 2010 and arranged to transfer the balance to Chase Bank but now before the transfer went through the balance has gone to $4237.93! There is no explanation visible on the website for this $957 increase, but I assume that Chase notified them that the transfer was coming and they hit me with a ridiculous interest rate and fee before it was applied. Their actions are criminal in my opinion, and from what I have read here it is their common practice. So, beware do not finance anything through GE Money Bank. I never will again and intend to make complaints every way I can--attorney generals, BBB, finanace and trade commision--the works.

ok to the people complaining about giving your payment information to someone in india. First off. its 2010.. its time to get over your racist views. Secondly, I know for a fact GE does not outsource. Outsourcing is selling accounts to a 3rd party to collect payments and help with call volume times. GE is a worldwide company so we have call centers all over the world. The call center in india is a GE owned and operated call center, they go through the same hiring process as someone in the south dakota or ohio call center. They simply are in India. They pass the same background check as anyone else so if anyone is going to be dishonest with your information it could be anyone not just someone in another country. Your one of those people that deserves to have their identity stolen by someone at a US based call center, that way we can all laugh and say karma is a B

The more consumers that can access reliable information in a timely manner to better

Consumers should be able to research finance companies first before making a decision to apply for a finance product.

If consumers can see that GE Money products have distinct disadvantages, that the customer service is poor, the interest rates higher, and the debt collection process is very aggressive and damaging for the consumer it is more likely that consumers will not take up GE Money products.

I had to have two heating and air condition units. The total bill was a little over $15000.00. I could have moved some from my savings and paid it off in six to eight months but when I found out I could go with GE Money Bank and pay it off with no interest for 12 months I went for it. I had done this before with some appliances and it worked great. I never carry a balance with any of my credit cards and have a 800 average with the big three credit services.

I made nine payments. I didn't receive a bill for payment ten. I didn't receive a bill for payment eleven. My big mistake was not checking as to why. I just assumed the account had been paid in full.
After the contract entered the thirteenth month I got the phone call from our friendly people living in India that I needed to give them my Bank Account routing number so they could collect all of the accued interest.
I refused and checked through all of my records and found the I did indeed owe $1000.00 and had the bills come as unual I had two months to pay off the account. I sent the final payment and considered the account closed. Of course I got the calls saying by not making the final payment I still owed the interest.

I feel this is just one method for collecting interest. I would like to know if others have had much the same experience. I think Seniors like me are probably targeted more but not sure. Harry T.

Guess what? You pay your bills and you won't get called-don't confuse Collections and Customer Service they have two different ways of handling confused individuals like yourself.

Solution pay them off and go on with your life!

I admire everyone who has even attempted to pay these people. I can't afford to pay them anything right. What started off as a $500 loan is now over $1200 with late fees & interest. They call 5-6 times everyday. I used to answer the phone and could never understand their Indian accent. I don't answer the phone anylonger. My cell sends their calls straight to voicemail. ...I do eventually plan to pay them but it's so unneccessary to harrass people by calling all day long beginning at 8am until 9pm.

I agree with all the complaints. GE Money reps are rude, hard to understand, annoying etc. They constantly call me for payments(they even call at night when my kids are asleep-how rude) but I have it to where it comes out of my account automatically. BIG MISTAKE! I still recieve statements saying that I owe and that I have late fees. This company is a waste of TIME AND MONEY .

I just received a phone call tonight from someone saying that my payment was past due also. I have never been late in making a payment to anyone. I payed the bill when it came in and the due date was listed as being 11/29/08 therefore according to me my payment will be on time. You are right about not understanding the person. My person was from India as well. I checked on line after this person called and saw that my address was listed incorrectly the first time and according to them the statement came back. Don't these people realize what they are doing. Maybe if they didn't hire people from India things would run more smoothly.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I did a balance transfer to pay off my GE Money account. I have a copy of the canceled check showing they were paid in full on time! And still it took 3 months for them to admit they got the payment and they still don't admit they got it on time. They claim they didn't receive the check until a month after it was cleared. How insane is that?! These people defy logic. They are still charging me a late fee and set collection agencies on me. I've referred it my lawyer and I plan on filing a lawsuit against them for harrassment

GE Money Bank - Cheating, lying swindlers!

Good God! I thought I was the only one that had a horrible experience with these ###. It's like this. I signed up for Care Credit to pay for some medical bills I had. I arranged to pay my bill online, as this was the simplest way of keeping track of everything. Two months in, my bank account info was stolen, which forced me to close out the account I signed...
