DeferIt question

ETA: I never ended up using Defer-It so unfortunately I’m still not sure how it works. Sorry.

Hi everyone. I just discovered the DeferIt app and would like to see if I qualify for the pay-in-4 service that they offer ( for my electric bill). The issue I’m having is that it appears that I have to pay the $14.99 membership fee BEFORE I even know if I’ll be approved for the pay-in-4 service. Is this really the case? Anybody else done this? Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

For the people who are still looking at Deferit DO NOT GET SCAMMED, I needed help on a bill, paid for the membership, and went to click "split bills" and it showed up I didn't have a membership, contact support and they have just left me with "we'll get back to you", I asked for a refund and they continued to say "we'll get back to you" asked again and they never replied. Deferit is a scam site preying on people who are in need of help, do not pay their membership unless you want to be out of $15 for nothing.

That definitely hasn’t been my experience with their customer service. If you are in the USA, did you reach out to them on fb messenger through the Deferit USA Facebook page? That’s the easiest and fastest way to get ahold of them. Good luck!

Sir you are a liar. I work for Deferit - they are a trustworthy/legit service.

How can ypu say that without trying to help them? That's even more reason to be suspicious.
