Open your fingerhut credit account – Apply today, buy today
Written by Good Nelly Rating:
Fingerhut Credit is a well known retailer and offers a wide range of products. To make shopping easier for people, it also offers credit accounts. These Fingerhut Credit Accounts have posed to be a major problem for the people.
Fingerhut Credit is sending notices, mails and letters to people saying that their payments are due. While some of the notices are valid, majority of them are not genuine. People have doubts that there has been extensive manipulation of credit account balances and that there should be some way to stop the irregularities of the company.
People who had paid off their dues received notices requesting the customers to pay up again. Complaints also included allegations that a customer who had paid up in full still had his name in the credit report. Fingerhut has also been blamed for providing telephone numbers, which are not valid. Few officials of the company mislead people and do not provide the correct information about payments and account balances.
While some attribute the irregularities to the change in the company's management, there are yet others who say that this is a probable way of harassing people.
I am assisting a blind disable Fingerhut card holder. I recently mailed a request for debt forgiveness due to age of the account, faithfullness
of prior payments, Income is through SSI, no charges in several years, and last but not least, her home was completely destoyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Will you please provide the proper website in order to further assist my the cardholder who again is blind.

Hi Anita,
This is debt consolidation Care forum and the page you are viewing is one from the database that gathers feedback on Fingerhut Credit Advantage.
Please forward your request to Fingerhut. You can collect their address from the previous page of this thread. Or you can do a BBB search to get more info about this company. Hope this helps.
The old Fingerhut accounts were transfered over to Comp U Credit in 2002. The only way to contact them is by mail or via fax (320)229-8583. The current fingethut customer service listed above will not help with these old accounts. Do you have a direct contact # for Comp U Credit. I can not find anything online.

Joy, let me tell you, this account cannot appear in your husband's credit report. Two persons in a family might have the same name that does not mean they can impose some other's debt on you! Dispute the item with credit bureau. Your dispute should be based on SS# here. Credit bureau will run an investigation and will rectify the incorrect entries.
As per the debt is concerned, please check the SOL of your state. No one can legally force you to pay the debt if the SOL for the said account has expired. You can send them a cease & desist letter CMRRR.
You can check the SOL of your state here-

This has happened to my step dad. His name and his son's is the same. Mom provided proof that it was on the wrong credit report and they cleared up the matter. Now it is on the right report. She was told by the credit bureaus that this is common when people in a family have the same name.
