    Awesome Budgeting Tool

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    My overall experience is highly satisfied. I rarely have any issues with using this app. I would like to see this app be expanded to help pay on student loans, car payments, and/or credit card payments.

    Positive

    Deferit is an awesome app! This app helps me budget my spending because I’m literally living paycheck to paycheck. It allows me to spread out my expense spending weekly by paying a small portion every week by splitting all of my bills in 4 smaller payments.

    Negative

    I don’t like having a preset amount to spend unless I’m an habitual spender not able to make my payments timely. But if I am a frequent user; then there should be approved benefits to use the app with an unlimited amount as long as I am in good standing.

    Helpful when needed!!

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    Overall: Good to have! Helps breaks payments up.
    $15 monthly service fee regardless of how much you use the services.

    Positive

    This app has been a lifesaver when I needed it most! I have used it for many years with no major issues to report.

    Negative

    *The high monthly fee!! It’s unreasonable for the service received. The fee goes up often.
    *There is no way to reach customer service by phone. You have to send an email and wait to get help. I think that’s a big downfall that needs to be corrected.

    Summary

    Great app! I would definitely recommend to all my friends and keep using the app. The app definitely helps you stress less about bills.

    I couldn’t survive without Deferit

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I’m impressed. It truly helps me out with paying bills in 4 parts, allowing me to free up money for gas, groceries and emergencies.

    Positive

    I truly thought this was a scam. It’s not. I have been able to pay my bills with the apps for several months without any issues. With inflation, it’s helped me stay afloat. It also offers the flexibility to change payment due date if needed.

    Negative

    Certain bills can’t be paid because of the statement type. We have Spectrum Mobile and since we don’t get a physical bill, it won’t allow us to pay with deferit

    Best bill paying app.

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    Overall using deferit has been a lifesaver for my bills and for my credit. The extra time you get to pay bills as well if the standard 6 weeks doesn’t work is also a lifesaver because your credit won’t be touched!!!

    Positive

    This app over the last couple of years has helped me so much, from splitting my payments to changing my date, and finally to helping my credit. If you were ever undecided about this app don’t be! Give it a chance and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed

    Negative

    Nothing everything works easy and customer service is amazing.

    Thankful

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    Overall great experience with Deferit, uploading of the bills just needs a little tweaking and it'll be the perfect app !!!

    Positive

    I like deferit because it allows me to have a little money left in my purse after paying bills. It allows you to feel like you can actually enjoy life and not live paycheck to paycheck. I also like them because they have helped my credit score increase. Deferit also has allowed me to grow my credit with them. I started off with a little credit and it increased pretty fast , which helped out a lot. Thank you for this app and the better quality of life it provides for me.

    Negative

    The only thing I do not like is the uploading of bills sometimes. It won't upload or it takes a while to upload. Other than that , I am satisfied with Deferit.

    The best lifesaving option when short to pay bills

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    💯 positive experience in the 1.5 years I have been using the service! Easy and fast to use. Monthly fee is a little high.

    Positive

    I ♥️ Deferit! Sometimes there is just not enough paycheck to cover the bills. Deferit gives me the option to pay in 4 so I can keep the lights on, the water running and the waste disposing. I usually use it to cover utilities. Lifesaving!

    Negative

    Sometimes they are a little slow to answer help messages.

    Coolest Thing Since Sliced Bread

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    This app has been the best thing for not only me but my pockets. It allows me to budget better and spreading payments out over time has helped me have some breathing room and allowed me to pay off other bills in the process.

    Positive

    I couldn't believe it when I first tried it and I have been using this for a year now. As a single parent this is truly a life saver. It helps me manage my bills and can ensure that the lights are on and the phones stay on as well. I have told so many of my friends about it and they love it.

    Negative

    There aren't any cons to the app or their program. It's very straightforward and they are really great about communicating if you have a problem.
