NEVER uses HEALTHCARE FINANCE DIRECT-!! EVERYTIME I speak to a customer service rep on the phone with this company HEALTHCARE FINANCE DIRECT they are consistently nothing but BRUTALLY DISRESPECTFUL and repeatedly just say the number amount I owe /!!! I have tried to be nice and wanting to make payments until speaking with me like ZOMBIES and not a real heartfelt person EVER -!! I always start pleasant and respectful and end of leaving the phone conversation angry and upset-! I let them just go to a debt collector instead and work with them MUCH easier and speak to a real person rather than this company -!! read more

Everything going well still. No interest fees at all, plus a gorgeous procedure!! *Botox read more

A warning for providers - They will not pay your funds, they have been holding funds of over 40k for 5 months, shut us down from our accounts for absolutely no reason , poor communication, shady , scam company. DO NOT USE THEM IN YOUR PRACTICE YOU WILL NOT BE PAID ‼ read more

I want to share a serious privacy concern about Healthcare Finance Direct (HFD). After applying for financing, HFD emailed me and asked me to send a photo of my Social Security card by email. As a software engineer familiar with security, I consider this very risky. Email is not a secure way to send something as sensitive as a Social Security card, and if that email account is ever hacked or mishandled, it can expose a person to identity theft. I raised my concerns and asked for my personal information to be removed, but I did not receive a clear confirmation that my data. This practice shows poor data-security standards. read more

I just had a great experience with Carolina. She helped me with all my questions. .. Thank you very much

I financed through HFD and have made every payment on time since the beginning of my loan. My account is set up on autopay directly through my bank account. At some point, a payment failed to process due to an issue on HFD's end. When I received notice of the problem, I immediately contacted HFD my phone and was told the issue had been resolved. It was not. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue. When I log into the HFD website, my account says that it's current and up to date... but I am unable to add or restore my bank account information, which appears to have been removed - which I did not do. I also contacted my bank directly, and they confirmed that nothing has changed on my end and that there is no issue with my account information. Despite this, HFD continues to send late notices and threats of collections. I contacted customer service again and was once more assured that the issue had been fixed. Again, it was not. The late notices continue, and late fees are being added to my account. What is particularly frustrating is that HFD claims they do not have access to my banking information and that my account information is incorrect, but they've been charging the same account late fees. The explanations I have gotten via email have been inconsistent and have not addressed the problem at all. They just keep telling me to call - which I will not do because, as we've learned, it's futile... and now I want everything in writing for when I need to report them or take further action. I have written documentation showing that I have repeatedly contacted HFD in good faith and made multiple attempts to make my payments and resolve this issue. At every step, I have been met with inaccurate information, failed resolutions, and a lack of any real assistance. This situation reflects an alarming level of disorganization and poor customer service for a company responsible for managing money. All I want to do is pay them and they won't let me! HFD - let me pay you! AND GIVE ME BACK MY LATE FEES. read more

Carolina is a sweetheart. She went above and beyond to help with some issues I was having. I'm so glad I had the chance to speak with her considering other reviews on here for other representatives aren't that great. I was lucky enough to be helped by Carolina. Thank you again! read more

I financed dental treatment through HFD for services that were never completed. NewSmile confirmed in writing that I should request a refund, and I provided HFD with all documentation. Despite multiple emails, calls, and a formal BBB complaint, HFD has still not processed my refund of $1,638.21. Their inconsistent responses and delays are concerning. I hope they resolve this promptly. read more

Absolutely Predatory and Deceptive Lending If I could give zero stars, I would. Healthcare Finance Direct facilitated a $9,000 loan through my dental office without providing any loan agreement, payment schedule, or disclosure of terms beyond one email. I was hit with an APR of nearly 18% for 72 months, and later discovered that part of the loan was applied to an Invisalign treatment I never received or authorized. When I tried to dispute the loan or reallocate funds to actual services performed, I was given the runaround. I ended up paying over $4,600 out-of-pocket on top of the loan -- for treatment I thought was already covered. They make it intentionally difficult to cancel or pause payments. For those looking to regain control, I discovered that changing your bank and routing numbers to placeholder values (e.g., all 0s or all 9s) in the portal will break the auto-draft until you can resolve the issue another way. (Obviously, do this at your own risk and be prepared to call them or report to collections.) This company takes advantage of patients at vulnerable moments, with zero transparency, terrible customer service, and a strong whiff of predatory lending. I've filed complaints with the CFPB and will continue pursuing formal remedies. Avoid this lender at all costs -- and read every word of your dental financing documents before signing, if you manage to even get them. Better yet, ask for a copy of everything in writing. read more

This rating really is only a reflection on Jessica Garza who helped me in the end. She really deserves a 5* but I did not want to forget the 5 other individuals I spoke with prior. One of the other 5 was good but still did not get to the root of my issue. 4 of the other 5 were slightly rude and did not really listen to my issue and then repeated the same information to me several times almost annoyed at me as if I were stupid. Jessica listened, figured out the issue, and although I ALSO had to send a copy of my Social which felt very uncomfortable, it did resolve the issue and my loan which I had been paying on was now at my access for my son's dental work. Jessica stayed on Chat with me for over a half hour and did not abandon the task until it was completely resolved. If you need help, see if you can ask for Jessica on the Chat line!!! read more

This company does not work with you, does not let you pay early and will double charge you. Selfish and inconsiderate company. Not worth it!!! Beware read more

Jessica was very Friendly and Knowledgeable. I was able to get the help that I needed in one phone call.

This company is a rip-off. They abuse elderly people by telling lies. I had 2,000 dollars from my Health Insurance, and I went to Sage Dental in Orlando, Florida, for a cleaning. This procedure was covered by my Insurance but the dental hygienist told me this procedure was not covered because I needed anesthesia. I owed them $368.00, and according to them, if I get a loan with them for any other procedure that I needed to do, I will get financed the portion that my insurance did cover, and I will NOT be charged interest for two years if the balance amount is paid in full within the two years. But I never finished my mouth with them because THEY NEVER used the money that I have with my plan, even though I have $ 2,000 to spend. I called my Insurance and they said that my Insurance NEVER received any paperwork from them. The interest Rate is almost 30 % even if I have been paying every month, and it looks like I haven't paid because of the high interest. Now I am going to complain and I will scale this matter to the highest level. read more

Terrible experience with this company, employees are not knowledgeable and trustworthy, they tell you lies over the phone lines, tell you one price to get your payment but send you email about additional amount you owe them, but pluk out your bank account as if they're your joint account, they should be investigated read more

This company is a scam after Smile Direct club approved my refund they are still charging me. Smile Direct Club has since went out of business and this company illegally provided my information to a new company which is in violation of FTC and privacy laws. read more

I deeply regret financing through HFD (formerly Healthcare Finance Direct). I was steered into this company by my dental provider, even though I was ready to pay out-of-pocket or with my own credit card. They promised 0% interest and a $1,000 discount, but it was all a setup. I never received the treatment I was financing. My trays weren't ready, appointments were delayed, and when I asked to cancel, I was told I couldn't because it was a "lab case." HFD assured me I wouldn't be charged during the dispute process, then charged me anyway. Worse, they used a different billing name to sneak past the stop payment I placed with my bank. Then they changed my interest rate to nearly 29% without my consent, despite the 0% offer they used to lure me in. I've filed complaints with multiple agencies and had to close a long-standing bank account just to stop unauthorized access. Neither HFD nor the provider ever investigated or cared about my side. They continue billing for services I never received. This company is predatory. Their rebrand doesn't fix their behavior, it hides it. If you're being offered financing through "HFD," do yourself a favor and use your own bank or credit card. This has been a nightmare. Honestly, what HFD and SkyeView Dental have done to me is so extensive, I don't even have time to list it all here, because I'm still behind the scenes fighting to fix the damage they've caused. read more

I have only just started working with HFD and can already tell, I made a mistake. I was trying to make a payment and it wouldn't allow me to and said one was scheduled. I figured it was on autopay automatically so I called customer service to ask to be taken off of auto pay. The customer service representative, Alejandro, informed me that was Not Possible. I paused and thought maybe I heard him wrong so I repeated it...You mean I cant pay my bill when I want too?, He said no. I asked, there is no way to be taken off auto pay? Again he said no. I paused once more and said, that is madness. He asked if he could help me with anything else and I said no but I will take the survey and he hung up on me. The moral of my story is that everything is auto pay, you cant control your payments, they have terrible customer service. read more

They should be shut down. Consistently change their billing names making it difficult to track previous payments

DO NOT USE! They will pull money from bank account not spost to not agreed on not in contract and refuse to give back and refuse even get manager on the phone! read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE . Dont do business with them. they say they got your money and than they say they lost your checks. The WORST company out there. read more

God awful company. Customer service is internationally outsourced and no one understands what is going on. You tell them one thing and they are so confused. Like what's the point of having a customer service center if you guys cause more drama read more

whatever you do please never work with these ppl it was the absolute worst thing i've ever experienced. i paid off 2 different accounts and was still being charged for MONTHS. i call the customer service number and they are so rude and quick to dismiss you. they offer zero help and speak to you like you're a child. i called 4 different times within a 3 month period because they constantly were adding late charges and still processing payments after i paid it off already. I called them again today and i was damn near in tears trying to explain that i already paid everything off and the person on the phone didn't care at all and just kept repeating the same thing over and over refusing to hear me out. they charged me over 9 times in 1 month absolutely ridiculous!! if i could give them 0 stars i would read more

This company is awful. I disputed charges related to smile direct. I paid all my payments on time. After the dispute, they charged additional fees for the disputes, so I ended up paying more money. Their employees are incompetent. They never have answers and they're rude. I would never use them again and I would highly encourage others not to use them. They're sneaking and conduct shady business.. read more

These people are nothing short of mentally challenged. One person tells you one thing. Then another one will tell you something totally different. I am currently waiting for a payment to be refunded because it was paid early. I am considering contacting a lawyer because I believe they have violated a few Federal Rules. My advice would be, if you are not already mixed up with these morons, keep your distance. read more

This company is a total scam. I have been making all my payments, even though I didn't finish my treatment because they went out of business.. my balance never seems to decrease and then when I called, they said that I've missed payments and I had late payments which is totally not true because my bank statement says they are all paid. Last time I checked my balance I had $274 total due so I called him to make the payment and now they're saying it's over $500 because of late payment. I don't know how this company is getting away with this and if I don't pay, it goes on my credit report it's a loose loose situation. read more

Horrible company to finance with ..Predator lender is the best way i can describe them..i made my payment on the 1st and it was took out of my account on the 1st yet i was still charged a late fee read more

This company has given me so many issues since opening my account in October. Today I was told my payments were being made "late" because I wasn't calling in to make a payment in the morning but was paying in the afternoon instead. The rep stated their system does not recognize you made on time payment unless the payment is made in the morning time. Additionally, they approved my request to remove ACH in October and this morning 3/6 I woke up to a ACH taken out of my account without my consent. HFD ARE THIEVES! A bunch of scammers. The contract does not outline or indicate anything verbiage around the TIME this account needs to be paid. My last payment was made at 5:30PM CST on 2/6 and it was considered late when it wasn't even the following business day yet. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS! read more

I subscribed to Smile Direct Club in March of 2023, and began using their liners that summer. By the time I was scheduled to finish my liners, the company had declared bankruptcy and ghosted all of its customers - I was not even able to fix my teeth because without the retainers required by the company to 'ensure' my success with their product, I would need their retainers. But they did not provide those, instead ghosting their customers - and now HFD is harassing all of their former customers, demanding funds for something that Smile Direct Club did not live up to. It's incredible frustrating, a breach of contract, and a waste of money. read more

This company is absolutely one of the worst I have ever encountered. Like others, I to have been double charged at least twice and then they took my "one time payment info" (because I decided to once pay with a different card) and save it to their systems without my consent even though I didn't check "save for future payments" on the one time screen. They are absolutely awful. Their customer service is abhorrent at best and often you get no where on the phone except a headache and close to a stiff drink. Smile Direct Club should be ashamed of itself for using these folks as their financier and I intend to file a formal complaint with the state of California against these scam artists. *Do not by any means put your bank info into these people's website. Don't do it. read more

This is a predatory finance company. I will never finance through them again. They financed my account with Smiles Direct. I set up auto pay and paid with my Health Savings debit card. 2 payments from my work were lost in the mail and did not post to my HSA. Thus my payment with Healthcare Finance Direct declined. I was charged a $25 late fee (understandably) I was also charged a $25 NSF (excuse me!) A debit card decline costs them $0. So now I have $50 in fees on top of my $89 payment. I didn't have the money to pay the payment plus fees and my account remained past due as I tried to catch up. I was charged 2 more late fees $25 each and 2 more NSF $25 each before I could get caught up. I'm a single mom, this company profited $75 in fees that they didn't actually incur. This is wrong. I'm in the process of paying off my account and never working with them again. read more

I got dental work at aspen dental and it was financed through hfd in 2023. I am disabled and I'm on a fixed income. My 1st payment was due on 11/28. On 11/3 I made my payment because that when I get my check. The 28th came around and thetook another payment that overdrew my account. I called them to see why my account wad charged a second time. They told my that the 1st payment I made was a "extra payment " Wtf?? So I explained I needed my due date moved to the 3rd. They refused. Shady ass company. That decides when you pay your account and charges a ton of fees if you're late paying read more

Partners with Aspen dental. So, Aspen who already charges unbelievably high prices for services, can offer financing options and charge 20 plus percent interest on the loan. Not only that, but even though they are partnered with Aspen, they refuse to help me with any of the problems I've had with Aspen. Aspen pulled teeth that were never supposed to have been pulled. I was supposed to have dentures made, which the first set didn't fit at all. Never made me the second set, yet charged my for both. And after all that, they still expected me to let them finish pulling my bottom teeth. Horrible service, Horrible people honestly. Google Aspen dental complaints and lawsuits before doing any business with them or there finance company.​​ read more

If I could go back and NOT use them I would. They inadvertently put a charge on my account and said it would be corrected within 10 days. Almost a month out and it still hasn't been corrected. I would recommend anyone needing this service find an alternate means. They will take from you but it's a nightmare getting them to correct and refund their error. read more
