Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 02, 2012
UpgradeUSA, a new business formed to help U.S. consumers establish or rebuild their credit through online-only laptop payment plans, today announced availability of its services in California, Florida, New York, and Texas. UpgradeUSA offers consumers the ability to make monthly payments on high-quality new and refurbished laptop computers, and the company reports customer payment histories to all three major credit bureaus every month.
When credit tightens like it has in this economy, many consumers suddenly find that they have less access to traditional in-store financing as they shop for computers that they need for home, work, or school, said Jon Weisblatt, Founder and CEO of UpgradeUSA. We have created a program that makes it easier for people to afford the latest mobile computer technology with fair, affordable payment plans, and our program provides the added benefit of helping them build and improve credit with each payment.
The UpgradeUSA leasing program delivers a new choice to consumers in the online marketplace, providing an affordable quality alternative to traditional rent-to-own, in-store or in-house financing, layaway, or bargains found on late-night television commercials.
UpgradeUSA offers a leasing experience that is among the most flexible in its industry:
Customers are able to initiate and complete their entire transaction online,
Customers decide how long they will lease following state-specific minimum terms,
Early payoff terms are among the best in the industry,
Monthly payment amounts are straightforward and do not vary based on credit score or pay day,
Every payment is reported to all three credit bureaus, regardless of how long customers lease.
Everyone Can Benefit From Better Credit
Having good credit is critical for people looking to get the best interest rates on big-ticket items such as mortgages and car loans. UpgradeUSA is designed to help a qualified segment of consumers — including people with no credit, such as students, legal immigrants or others considered to be underbanked — take a first step towards building a good credit history.
“Were working with a wide variety of people, from entrepreneurs to community college students, from people who have gone through bankruptcy to new residents to the U.S.,” Weisblatt said. “We believe in offering an incredible value for the service we provide, and unlike many other payment plan companies, we treat our customers with the respect they deserve.”
The company offers consumers a selection of new and refurbished laptop computers from brands consumers know and trust such as Dell, Apple, HP and others, and all computers carry a warranty.
