We financed a purchase through Preferred Credit in November 2019 with 6 months same as cash. In December when I hadn't received a statement yet I called as was told my first payment was due in January and I was "All Set". In January I received my statement, and it states that to avoid paying accrued interest the balance needs to be paid in full by May 19th. By my count if my first payment was due in January and my last in May that is 5 payments NOT 6. When I called to complain, I was told that the 6 months starts at time of purchase not the first statement. That is right, PCI expected me to be able to pay a payment BEFORE I had received a statement or even the details on HOW to make a payment. WORST FINANCING COMPANY I have ever dealt with. The SUPERVISOR just kept repeating herself, and wouldn't even apologize for the confusion her company caused. I am an accountant, I understand financing, their practices are set up to trick their customers into having to pay the accrued interest. DO NOT FINANCE ANYTHING WITH THIS COMPANY!
