Hey dolls! I Went to Dr. Mel Ortegas web site and I looked at his financing options. He has a couple of sites that you can apply for credit on that he accepts. Mind you I NEED to get this done some time in August! I am a college tudent with two children and I am one semester away from my entrance to nursing school. I wanted to get the bbl done in the period between the summer and the fall semester. I am taking 6 classes and they are hard this semester so there is no way that i can miss any classes. I decided randomly to click on the United Medical credit link on his page and I applied for 6000 even though I know it wasnt going to be that much but you neverr know! It was great the called me the next day and told me that I was appproved and that they were going to send me the info in an email. the email is preety clear and concise but the woman who I spoke to was not! She basically said that if I paid back the money for the loan within a year I would not pay any interest! yea!!!! but NO!!! yes no innterest if you pay within a year but.... They automatically charge you an extra 1500 fee for taking the loan out with them and then another 600 initial fee none of witch goes towards the actual amount of money you are borrowing! mind you the fees are based on how much money you borrow so you may be quoted somthing different with different loan amounts! I was shocked when I finaly found out after I was so excited to get the procedure done! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DR. MEL ORTEGA! Its just the loan company that i am talking about, just to be clear. lol. but anyways I was so discouraged i felt like i was betrayed! but i decided to go through my local credit union and even with paying interest I would only pay and extra 500 or so after 6 months and 1000 after a year! wow big difference! I have my consultation with Dr. Ortega tomorrow on july the 9!!! yay and i have talked to vivian about paying a deposit tomorrow to lock in an available date for August 6! Im super excited! well i will update you guys on how the consult went after go tomorrow! bye for now!
