Website

Has anyone used/heard of Firstagain.com. It seems to appear they have loans with reasonable interest rates. Just curious if anyone has used them or heard anything about them.

On another board I read someone mentioned First Again, said that it was really easy and that they got a much better rate then Capital One Healthcare Financing. They do say that you have to have excellent credit though....so not really sure how many people they approve in this downed economy?? I tried to PM the other board member but she never answered me....so not really sure what credit scores or how much they approved her for? Our scores are in the low 700's but we have high utilization right now on some cards....and Capital One only approved us for 6000 Not nearly enough for a cycle at our ATL clinic. So we're done at this point....nothing we can really do, and no point in dwelling on it. We may try First Again financing in a year when our utilization is at 0 again....until then who knows.

Ugh bad credit here! We are working on it, but even when everything is paid off, your score doesn't go up right away. You can't force it!

Hi, I tried accessing First Again's website, and apparently they are no longer accepting applications for loans. Does anyone know anything about this?

CareCredit is about to stop offering fertility loans too. Have you thought about going to a bank or credit union?
