Subject: Sierra Dental/Care Credit Scammers

Ok, I had tooth that needed to be replaced, saw thier ad on tv and my DDS doesn't do crowns, so I went to Sierra Dental. I have no dental ins, but they got me approved with Care Credit that very same day, they pulled my tooth and fit me for a bridge. What a deal!
I had bad feeling about all this from the start, the high pressure tactics to get the credit etc. I swear, in every room someone was having a tooth pulled! The bridge does not fit, they said it was fine, went back 2x for pain and complained, they said "give it time to settle". Bridge still doesn't fit right.
So in Nov of 07 I get a call from GE Money Bank (Care Credit) asking about Sierra Dental. THEY CALLED ME...They want to know what I had done, was it complete (it wasn't, they charged me for work not done) if I was satisfied etc. THEY offered me a refund of the $2900.00 financed by them for the service. Because people were complaining about the work done or not done by them. They would clear the balance of my "card" to 0 and refund me the $ I had paid them. They cleared the balance but I never recieved the refund check. I called every mo and they said they mailed a check, so then they cancel the check and re-issue a new one, I have to wait 30 days, and they mail a new one, which never comes. This has been going on since Nov. Now in March, they are saying that I cashed the check...LMAO. They are a hoot. Remember, they called ME.
I reported them (GE Money Bank) to the Atty Generals Office (he is well aware of these people) and the Better Bus Bureau and the OTC (they over see banking). We are filing a claim in court against them for the $ they owe me plus interest and of course, court fees.
Anyone who took a loan from Care Credit, look them up, complaint wise. There are literally thousands of people across the country who have been scammed by practitioners and Care Credit and are activly suing for thier $ back. You will know your not alone once you read the complaints. The only way you can get your $ back from Sierra Dental is to get it from Care Credit. They are rude, they lie, they hang up on you, they overcharge you, raise interest rates without notifying you, then they try and charge you to close the account.
The dr's who use Care Credit (not just DDS, it's used for Lasik, Vet care and Lipo etc) get paid immediatly by GE Money Bank once you are approved, b4 they even work on you. Then they do shoddy work, if any work at all, and skip town...all across the US. It's quite a nice little scam they have going.
There are no Dr. Salisbury's anywhere in MA, he's gone, with our $. You can't get your $ back from him. Be forwarned b4 you contact Care Credit, they are trained to give you no info or useless info and the run around till you go insane ( I actually tracked my mailman, thinking he was stealing my mail), these are hardcore customer service" reps.
Call any one you can, Better bus bureau, Atty Gen office, a lawyer if you have one. If the work you paid for wasn't done or done correctly, you do not have to pay for it.
