    Takes awhile to get the check to the bill place.

    Deferit is great

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    Overall experience, this is a good app. I haven’t had many issues with it but I will continue to use it long as it’s available.

    Positive

    I would really like to think whoever brought up this app thought about the people who basically rob Peter to pay Paul. It comes in real handy when you need to get a bill paid and don’t have the full amount of a bill. I really appreciate this app. It’s coming in real good handy with keeping my bills paid on time for the most part.

    Negative

    Pretty much for the bills that I pay deferred takes care of all of them

    Summary

    I really enjoy deferit and I will continue to use it to pay bills! I haven’t had any issues since I’ve been using it

    Positive

    I love deferit, I’ve been using it for a while now and it is great with helping me catch up on bills that I may not have enough to pay the full amount. The subscription fee is low. They pay the bill right away unless it’s something that has to be paid by check and they still get that in the mail right away.

    Negative

    No cons for me. It’s a cool service that I would recommend to anyone

    Best App Ever

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    The Best Pay in 4 app to ever do it!!!! Awesome customer service, very responsive, and payments made quickly. Never an issue!

    Positive

    This is the best app that ever came out. I have been using them for close to a year now and I have no complaints. Customer Service is awesome, they are very attentive and responsive for being able to only reach them via email; and to Customer Service is everything and is what makes their service the best yet. Not to mention, payments are made within minutes of you uploading your bill and making your first payment. I get a receipt from the biller and Deferit fast.

    Negative

    Only thing I can con at this time is the need to continuously log into the app; which would make it a tech issue.

    Came in clutch!

    Date: Oct 30 2023
    Summary

    10/10. When a program is user friendly and does it what it says it will, there's nothing to complain about. Deferit said they will help me take care of my bills and that's what they did.

    Positive

    The process is extremely easy. I was approved almost immediately and they were able to confirm my bill was eligible within minutes.

    As an individual who is on the upswing of my credit building (go me!) I also appreciated the approval amount. It took care of my past due balance but wasn't the full amount that I needed. While most people would have complained, I appreciated that the company put the responsibility back on me to handle the rest. These skills really help when building and learning about credit/bills/financial literacy. They made the payment same day and the pay back options are super financial friendly. I usually don't recommend companies/ programs but truthfully many people I know are having hard times paying their bills so I definitely have been referring people to use deferrit.

    It also reports to your credit so like ... win win ya know?

    I will use Deferit to relieve some financial stress but also to give me a leg up on my financial future.

    Negative

    Usually I have a list of complaints for everything. I honestly can say I don't have any complaints with Deferit. The process was super smooth for me.

    Still new to it but so far so good

    Date: Oct 29 2023
    Summary

    So far so good. I had it like 30 days so I haven't really seen everything this app can be yet. I'm sure in another 3 months I will have a better understanding of the app.

    Positive

    I like that it's an app where you can pay bills in installments that a life savor haven't had it for long so I don't know much about it yet. I do like that if the bill is over the limit that you have you can put extra money on it.

    Negative

    I don't like the second time when I did a bill it charged me a holding fee that I will get back. I wish it was more like afterpay a point system that you can see to earn higher money for bills and even over time a no down payment on bill under 400.

    Date: Oct 28 2023
    Summary

    My experience has always been positive and tailored to my individual needs. There has never been a time that I felt I couldn’t reach out to them as they make you feel welcome and part of their family. They truly step in and show up for their customers.

    Positive

    Deferit has helped me get through some rough patches in life. Just when you think you have no where to turn and no means to do it, they step right in. The customer department also goes above and beyond your expectations and make you feel at ease in handling your needs.

    Negative

    I do not have any cons. They have always met my needs.

    Deferit review

    Date: Jun 15 2023
    Summary

    My experience with Deferit has been anything but grand or pleasant. My limit was 300 dollars after already paying 950 dollars worth of bills on time. I attempted to use that 300 dollars to pay a rent bill well over that amount but figured I'd at least be able to split the 300 dollars portion into payments. Ha! I submitted the bill and got a message that I could use 100 of the 300 dollars. If I wanted to use the remaining 200 dollars, I would need to reupload the bill, pay off the first two payments of the first installment, and then they'd pay another 100 dollars. Then if I wanted to use that final 100 dollars, the same process, so what was once a 300-dollar limit they "so graciously provided me with" is now 200-dollar. When you try and reach out to them, it takes almost two weeks for them to answer, and when they finally do answer, they send you a script they pulled from their site, and it doesn't even answer your damn questions. Stay far away from them!!

    Positive

    Absolutely no pros! Nothing about this company seems legitimate, and every time you "follow their rules," they decrease the amount of the limit they've provided you for paying on time.

    Negative

    Plenty of cons, and I've got them all listed below.

    Comes in handy

    Date: Oct 27 2023
    Summary

    It’s been a very good program and has helped me out a lot especially in this economy when inflation is high and you need a little help. I am glad this program exists and I love that they report to the credit companies so that it can help raise your credit. Because paying bills on time should show on your credit report.

    Positive

    It is user friendly, easy to use and the bills get paid in a timely manner. I haven’t had any problems with the bills I have uploaded to be paid and they have always been paid within a few hours. The app is easy to navigate and you can see what your available balance is through the app. It’s also very organized in knowing what you owe back. Deferit is also good to work with when you need to extend a repayment back.

    Negative

    Easier options to talk to customer service would be nice. It can be very hard to get ahold of customer service because their online customer service chat doesn’t always work. And it can sometimes take customer service a few days to get back to you through email. I also wish they had more options for the bills they will pay.
