Nah, you're thinking too poor.

We'll be able to get it, we have infinite time to repay the loan*

* The loan will be large enough that you'll never pay it down due to interest and if you get upset your recurring treatments will no longer get loans.

And no one repays their loan in full, interest keeps going on increasing. So the debt increases exponentially forever. Until the day the house of cards comes crashing down and people/banks need their money back for some reason. Then there’ll be widespread bloodshed and fighting and suddenly nobody is immortal because nobody is safe. So the earth is rid of humans as it always should have been.

Without infinite production available, it would still be going to the highest bidders first and that would cut out what loans could be gained for all but those already with credit ratings so high only the incredibly rich achieve.
