I was on the news again...Yes, again. This time I was on CBS KPIX with Napoleon & Kt. We were speaking out against unscrupulous credit card practices. We are really kinda naive when it comes to the crappy games that the banks play with credit cards. Kt has had one credit card that she uses...HAWAIIAN AIRLINES...duh! She has had it for about 12 years and its all about the miles, baby...and the bank has never meddled with interest rates, credit limits and there's never been late fees.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....now, we decide to get GE Moneybank's CARE CREDIT card to help with the vet bills. Napoleon and Fiesta and Annabelle have cost Kt a bundle of bucks. Notice I am not on the list. CARE CREDIT is designed to allow pet owners to provide animals with quality vet care by offering no-interest payment plans. Sounds good and it is good. GE Money Bank can make vet bills more managable. Fiesta's recent surgery & vet visits is nearly 2,000.00. Payments can be spread out over six months no interest.
I won't go into detail cause the video will explain but we had problems with the GE Money Bank and their payment processing. The fun part of the whole experience is that local tv station KPIX intervened on our behalf. They came out to the house and did a story on Kt and the credit card. And you will see that Napoleon and I were a big part of the story.
Moral of the story...if you are right, stand up. We reached out to local meia and we used Facebook and we used Twitter. We were not going to just let the crappy service of GE Money Bank go unanswered. The decisions of the unrepsonsive reps can have huge impacts on people. The late fees may be the least of the concerns. It is too important for your credit to let unfair practices be tolerated. And besides, I bet SAVANNAH the clerk that laughed at us when we said we would go to the news wont' laugh at the next person
Enjoy the video clips!
