Safeline
February 19, 2022

So apparently I signed up for this safeline back in 2019. So I was like I do t remember that but was like I guess I should have checked my bill to see these charges. I don't want my money back for this, but when I tried to cancel cause its 30 extra dollars added to the monthly payment. The website it sends u too says it can't be reached and you call to cancel and they say their automated system is down. So for 2 weeks I've been trying to cancel and they still are down on the Internet. Righteous anger I think so!

THE WORST EVER
February 16, 2022

These bastards took $700 dollars out of my account at one time for a credit card I was paying payments on years after the account was already closed. If you ever have the opportunity to establish credit with them don't do it. They will hond you down for $1. They do not handle your account well and they have poor customer service. I was not made aware until the day of about the garnishments they were going to be proceeding with and I feel robbed.

Quality is awful
February 10, 2022

FH used to be a good company with quality things. I just got sneakers that were supposed to be wide. They're so small I can't get my feet in them and I got a size larger. I got a mattress topper. Two of the straps tore before I even slept on it. One strap tore completely.

HEADACHES
February 4, 2022

I returned a generator that looked like it was pushed from the back of a truck to the side of my house. The generator was cracked so I returned it. I called to make sure they returned it which they did. After that, all I wanted to know is when a new 1 will be mailed out. The woman on the phone couldn't tell me unless I verified my info AGAIN. I gave her my last 4, DOB, address and phone number but that was not enough. She needed more. By this point, I was fed up! On top of that, I had a hard time understanding her. I told her to just credit the account and CLICK. If I have to go through all that, then I'll pass...

High risk. They are what they are.

My entire bill is almost paid off and for good reason. Recently, I considered buying some beats headphones from them until I compared the prices on apple ($199) and amazon ($149). It's outrageous to charge $450 for the same headphones and they really need to knock that off. Two stars, because while I have received orders in the past (the shipping has been astronomically painful) they did arrive on time. Three knocked off because beats headphones are not that expensive in reality.

Do comparison shopping before you buy from them and look at the figure below where it says "month". Something that's $450 will be tacked on as $38.99 to your bill.

Money Thieves
January 4, 2022

Will overcharge if you missed a payment the same day. When you call them they say one thing and do another. Balance was 77 dollars then the day of payment it went up to 159 dollars.

Flinstone services! ‍
December 20, 2021

I was told my delivery would be at my address on 12/14/21 it has been a week without any calls or texts keeping me up to date! I've also lost $120 dollars on movers because Fingerhut says the delivery team will only drop it off on curbside. My card has been charged for payments for a delivery that I don't have!. FINGER HUT SHOULD NOT OFFER ITEMS THAT CANT BE DELIVERED ON TIME PERIOD REGARDLESS OF HOW LARGE THE ITEMS ARE YOU SHOULD NOT ADVERTISE PRODUCTS THAT YOU CANT DELIVER ITS ALREADY A HASTLE THAT YOU DONT OFFER MOVE IN SERVICES AND NOW Too! YOU CANT EVEN MAKE THE ACTUAL DELIVERY! Lol this is really nice for customer service

Missing Item
December 19, 2021

I have ordered about 4 wrist watches from Fingerhut within one month. This particular wrist watch indicated it has been delivered, I checked my surroundings and still did not find my wrist watch. I sent and email and whoever is replying keeps saying that my order was delivered. I did not receive it.
I'm going to close my Fingerhut account because I feel betrayed, disappointed and disrespected.

Completely incompetent
December 9, 2021

They're completely incompetent they sent you other people's orders instead of what you ordered then when you return it they make a brand new order form and resend you the item that you didn't order takes more than five times for them to get it right and give you the credit for the items you didn't receive originally I would never deal with them again

LOST A GOOD CUSTOMER
December 2, 2021

I moved, changed all my info online and they locked my account and asked for a copy of my ssn card emailed to them plus license and utility bill before they'd unlock my account. Right as Christmas shopping begins. Been with them 3 years, loyal customer with high credit. No way on this planet will I ever email my SSN card to anyone. I'll be closing this account ASAP. It's crap.

DON'T use this company. They charge way more than other companies for the same merchandise. They charge huge finance charges and to add insult to injury, they sneek in extra charges. I have made all my payments on time. Last month I signed up for auto pay so I don't have to remember what to pay or when.
It said my minimum payment would be $40 so that is what it took from my account. Then at the end of the month when my statement was generated it said I was supposed to have paid $59 and added a late fee for this. I called and after over 2 hours on the phone they reversed the $29 fee (as a courtesy) how is it a courtesy if it was their error. The only thing worse than their representative use on English was their ability to add or subtract. I will never use them again for anything. If you choose to use them, do so at your own risk and watch what they charge you. Not worth the trouble for the little good it can do for your credit rating.

SCAM ARTISTS DO NOT APPLY FOR CREDIT
September 13, 2021

I applied for credit about 6 or 7 months ago and never used it. Got alerted today that my credit now has a note on it. Fingerhut will ding your credit if you do not make a purchase from them. That is without a doubt the most scummy company practice I've seen in awhile. Basically extortion. Total waste of a company. Made a call to corporate and the person said basically "should have bought something" and said it's not their problem. Guess lesson learned

WORST CARD EVER/ STAY AWAY
August 27, 2021

Had a credit account with this terrible excuse for a company just to build credit. They make you buy items to keep your credit limit or they take the limit away. I had a security breach were I needed to change debt cards so 1 payment was not being processed. They immediately put a 30day late on my credit for a 22 dollar payment. Never called to let me know. Not email or anything. They are refusing to take it off. They charge outrageous amounts for common times. I bought a watch that broke in a week for 270. Was online for 68 bucks new. Got ripped and credit screwed. THIS COMPANY PRAYS ON PEOPLE with less then great credit. Do yourself a big favor and stay away.

Unsatisfied customer
August 23, 2021

Purchased the wrong size mattress, bought twin instead of toddler. Fingerhut would not exchange or return, even though we never opened the box. I was not home to refuse order.

Complete joke
July 7, 2021

I have had an account with Fingerhut for over 6mo. I just recently moved and changed my address. I ordered 2 things, a stereo and a rug. They shipped the stereo, then decided to 'verify' my address change. You think that would be simple right? Wrong. They asked a series of questions, yet came back and said they were unable to verify my identity and the new address. They said I had to send in a copy of my license, social security card, and a bill with the new address. Being so new to the house, I don't even have a bill yet, nor do I have my stuff from the movers yet. The only thing I have is my license which isn't even changed yet. How stupid! Why can I not verify everything on my account... it's my account! AND... they already shipped the stereo! They lost me to Wayfair... Goodbye Fingerhut!

AVOID THIS SCAM OF A CORPORATION AT ALL COSTS!
June 22, 2021

I began my nightmare with Fingerhut at the beginning of the Pandemic (Mar 2020) of last year. I was approved for the Fingerhut Fresh Start Program and ordered a DVD/CD Vehicle Sound System. I have two issues I want to review about my experiences with Fingerhut. It all began when the Stereo I bought from Fingerhut started to malfunction. I called Fingerhut several times and emailed them pertaining to this issue. Due to the Pandemic I assume many of Fingerhut s Customer Service Team were out of work. Considering even FedEx, UPS, etc were all facing the same Covid restrictions I decided I'd try to return the stereo the moment I was able to. Well by the time things were beginning to run again Fingerhut decided they would refuse to allow me to return the broken stereo they sent me. I complained all the way up to a manager and tried explaining that it was impossible to return the stereo in the middle of the pandemic. I eventually had to report this issue to The BBB and Fingerhuts Response was simply a standard response of stating their return policies. Although I was EXTREMELY UPSET I still continued to pay every payment on time and paid extra on many of the payments. A couple of months ago I paid the final payment and figured at the least that it would help my credit. You'll be amazed at what Fingerhut does to me next after paying for their expensive JUNK and expensive credit. They not only closed the account (on my credit) they also denied me the "Graduation" to a revolving Fingerhut Advantage Credit Account" due to (UNBELIEVABLE) them claiming I was late on a payment! Which was an ABSURD LIE that is so easily disputed! I have my entire payment history on my end and Fingerhut also stated on my credit report that I paid ALL payments on time! I knew immediately that this was clear retaliation for discussing my issue about Fingerhut publicly to the BBB. I feel like this must be illegal and I fully intend on reporting Fingerhut to the Consumer Protection... Whatever it is called. I am writing this review because I feel people should know what a horrible cheat this corporation is! AVOID FINGERHUT AT ALL COSTS! I suggest using Stoneberry. Com and/or Montgomery Wards. Fingerhut is in bankruptcy protection anyways certainly for being a scam of a corporation!

Customer Loyalty Means Nothing
June 3, 2021

Fingerhut credit is very cruel. I've been a loyal customer for about 4 years. I never missed a payment and a payment was never late on my account. Like a lot of people during the pandemic I fell on hard times. I missed a few payments. But I was contacted later and was told that if I paid $150 for 3 consecutive months it would get my account back on track. Well I did that only to bet told that I would not ever have an available credit line on my account. And would have to pay off the remaining balance. Once the remaining balance was paid I would have to close the account. Wait seven days and apply for a new credit account and there was no guarantee that I would be excepted.

Now if this is how Fingerhut treats loyal customers who suffered through a pandemic. Why would I reapply for another credit account once this one is paid off? Hell I'm sorry I ever became a customer in the first place! But I won't ever make that mistake again. And if you're smart you won't either. There policies and customer loyalty is horrible and so is their customer service.

Worst Company ever
April 5, 2021

The worst company ever. My first Purchase I received they sent the wrong item. Customer service was no help making me wait 7-10 Business days to receive a return slip the it will take up to 15 days to process the return before another up to 15 days to receive the Item I really ordered. And expecting me to make payments on it during this time and I wont want or need it by then. The I'll probably have to wait another 10 days for my refund
