Well Furniture Today -obviously did no research before making that stupid decision - and I do not mean GE's financial reports - Try reading complaint boards instead - there are 1000's of the same complaints worldwide!
GE MONEY specializes in ripping off consumers who take advantage of these offers.
Posting payments received before due due after due date to add late charges and interest.
Reversing payments - so they can charge returned check charges, late charges and interest
Claims not to have received payments - requiring consumer to send and resend proof and still refuse to correct.
Stops sending statements
Penalize for paying early
Call center in India - rude obnoxious staff that do not speak or understand english
