Hello: My name is Robin and I am filing a report against a company named South Shore Adjustment co. LLC aka GE Money Bank/ Care Credit. I went for dental treatment and dentures at a company named Aspen Dental located in Albany NY. I was in need of partures (lower and upper) and was told by a representative in Aspen Dental that my insurance through my job would not cover for my dentures. I was told that I was not eligible because I had partures through my job insurance in the past and that I was not eligible for at least two or three more years. Aspen Dental offered me an alternative payment through a GE money bank/care credit. I was told it was based on credit approval. I was deemed eligible and was told of how much I was eligible to receive in credit from this company. I was also offered an affordable payment plan. Once I agreed to the service. Aspen Dental started taking impressions for dentures. They offered me various types of dentures that was from very expensive dentures to basic inexpensive dentures. I chose the least expensive ones. When I received my dentures I was very dissatisfied on how they looked and felt in my mouth. I told the dentist that I was not happy with them and did not want the partials given to me. The dentist tried adjusting the partials and trying me to accept the teeth. I agreed to try them for a few days as they asked me to. I did not get use to them and I returned them. I started getting billed by Care Credit. I made a couple of payments as agreed because Aspen Dental Promised to do impressions for partials that I would be happy with. When I returned to Aspen dental they still tried to pursued me to keep the partials they already have given me. I tried to work with them but it just didn't work and I just continued to wear the partials I already had for a few years prior. I continued to be billed by GE money bank. I have disputed the charges and told them that I have not accepted the partials that Aspen Dental tried to offer me. They took my complaints but continued to bill me. Then about several months later I received billing to my personal insurance for the partials. My personal insurance made payment for one set of my partial I am not sure if it was the top denture or the bottom. I notified Aspen Dental of the charges and they said that they credited my charges with GE money bank. They said that no charges are being charged to neither my my insurance or GE money bank. I have been receiving letters from GE money bank with demands of payment. They even charged me a much greater amount then originally offered. I filed a dispute against the charges and haven't heard anymore back from this company for many months. Then I recieved a certify letter from a marshall. The letter was a threat to proceed with court if payment was not made to GE money bank. The letter was in a court vs Robin formatt. It said I need not to appear in court. There was no court date or time. It was merely a letter requesting that I Pay GE money bank within 20 or 30 days. I called GE money bank and again I disputed the charges. I haven't heard nothing from them again until recently which was Dec. 14, 2010 by letter of wage garnishment. The letter came from Rensselaer County Sherriff's Office/Bureau of Judicial Enforcement. The letter states that this is a copy of an income execution. It states that I have 20 days (From December 10th. 2010) from this notice to repay on my own 10% of my gross pay before taxes, or 25% of my disposable earnings (after taxes). They requested a copy of my paycheck. They stated that if payment is not payed each time I get paid from my employer that they will serve this income execution to them for garnish of my wages. I am in need of legal advise in this matter. I was never served any papers to appear in court in defense. I do not know what to do and am seeking for some help.

Wow, I am so sorry for your experience. I keep hearing bad things about Care Credit. Everything I've seen has been that they are scam some dentists use. Good luck on everything! I've been lucky to avoid this scam because I've been seeing the same <a href="http://www.alpineheightsdentistry.net">dentist in Meridian</a> for the last ten years. I know I can trust him. I sincerely hope that you can find one you trust as well.
