Payment plan suspended

HI all,
I was just about to take out a payment plan with Hitachi Capital through Bupa to pay for my daughters dental care and I have been told that finance is no longer offered and I must pay in full. I can't seem to see anything on this when I search on Hitachi or Bupa and wondered if anyone else had come across anything else similar with other payment plans. Its very frustrating as this was a 3 year 0% interest deal and a loan or credit card will cost me more.... My husband says we should wait for the new year to see if it is reinstated, as it could be because of Covid - anyone have any idea if this is a possibility?

  • Lending criteria have tightened.

    A 0% credit card would be a more flexible option if you have a decent credit history and at no cost.
  • Odd - Hitachi have been doing this for decades - I had my eyes lasered on interest free credit 15 years ago and when I had more surgery last january they offered it again albeit I could not be bothered this time
