I reported GE CareCredit to every online consumer complaint site I can find, including Chicago Tribune, Suntimes, and the Better Business Bureau. Finally, a week ago, the BBB was able to make GE CareCredit settle with a full reimbursement of $970+ interest that they charged my son. Everyone should report them to the BBB so they can stop ripping people off!!

On the bigger ticket items I've purchased on no interest promos, in small print, they state that the promo lasts: FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. You have to look carefully and pay attention to what they are telling you on your statement. What you end up with is 11 and a half months of no interest, not 12 months no interest. I usually make the final payment on the eleventh month and PAY WELL IN ADVANCE of the due date. That doesn't always help cause a company like hsbc, for best buy, took 12 or 13 days to credit my payment to my account. I've posted about this before. YOU have to pay attention to what is written on your statement. If your son didn't look carefully at his statement for 12 months, that's on him. If it wasn't printed on his statement, that's on them. Did you ask your son to look at a copy of his statement? They won't tell you anything over the phone.

With all credit, interest starts on the day the debt happened.
