I recently paid off my fingerhut bill by puting it on a capitol one card and miraculously I have another bill of 709 dollars that is now currently reporting on my credit report. This is a false bill and would like it taken care of. The reason I know this is because if I owed fingerhut anything they would not let me charge any more so therefore I did not charge the amount you have reported on my credit report. I also have joined others in reporting your company to the better business bureau. This needs taken care of immediately

Hi Rosetta

This is a debt consolidation forum reporting the consumers' feedback about Fingerhut. You are pointing here towards the wrong company.

Regarding your query, have you filed a dispute with the credit bureau reporting this account? They will investigate this account and update it if your dispute is valid.

Send a letter of dispute to the credit bureau with your name and address and highlighting the item clearly. I am sure that it will be taken care of.

Regards
Roxette

Just an F.Y.I.
I also called Fungerhuts number 1-800-208-2500 and told them I had there company show up on my credit report. The first girl said to call 800-325-6168. So I called and the next girl said that I wasn't in the computer that, the company Fingerhut Credit Advantage is no longer affiliated with Fingerhut.That I need to email or write to:
Card Services
P.O. Box 7999
Saint Cloud, MN 856302

Or Fax to 320-229-8583
she also said that they had no phone number to give me. What a joke! Hope those helps some of you.

I have tried looking up my credit report and found the account number and I also called the fingerhut and they refered me to the address that everyone is writing on this forum, I have even faxed to the number that was provided. I think this is all a bunch of crap and I think fingerhut and you people are playing games with people and think I will talk to my boss who is an attorney and some type of suit cause this doesn't make sense people are trying to get this off of their credit and you guys and fingerhut want to play games. Any other time when they want money they hunt you down but when you are seeking them out to pay off something you want to play games, no more games, i will be talking to my boss.

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-

The numbers listed at the top of the page are valid; however, in certain cases, you may not get a lot of help from this number. My mom used to have an account with Finerhut, and she never had any problems with this company. About a year ago, I used my checking account information and had her payment drafted from my account each month. My mom called the number listed above today and tried to find out her current balance. Because my mom's Fingerhut account existed before 2002, the representative could not provide her with the desired information.

As it turns out, Fingerhut came under new management sometime between 2002-2003. The name of the bank that handles the new Fingerhut accounts is called CIT. CIT does have any information regarding the old accounts that existed before 2002. The company that handled the older accounts was called Credit Advantage. If you call Fingerhut's customer service number, and they can not help you, try this information given here.

Credit Advantage's Fax Number: (320) 229-8583 (This is the ONLY phone number that Fingerhut could give me.)

Credit Advantage's Address
P. O. Box 7999
St. Cloud, MN 56302

If you don't have a fax machine, I would suggest typing something up. Make sure you date and sign the document. Then find a friend or family member that has access to a fax machine and ask them to fax the desired document. Hopefully, you will get a quick response.

In addition to this, I want to give you another word of advice. Just because you HAD a Fingerhut account in the past does not mean that you still have one with them. If you wish to have a current Fingerhut account, you will have to fill out the application at their website or apply over the phone. However, if your goal is to pay off your Fingerhut bill, and you don't want to do business with them again, then you have nothing to worry about. Once accounts that existed before 2002 are paid off, then you no longer have a Fingerhut account anymore. I hope this information helps someone.

In the second paragraph, I left out an important word in one of the sentences. The sentence should say that CIT does NOT have information on any accounts that existed before 2002.

I just recently contacted Fingerhut by phone (the number given above) and they told me that I did not have an account with them. If you had established an account with the company before 2002, it has been closed. In 2002, the company was discontinued and then transfered under new management. You should fax any inquires to (320) 229-8583 (03-11-2008)

Just most of you I have had the same trouble with trying to pay off my debt to fingerhut. I had an account back in 96. Fingerhut would say that didn't get my payment and so forth so I had just forgotten about it. Last time I knew my account was at a balance of 314.00. I'm currently in the process of filing chapter 7. This isn't on my credit report anymore but I know that I owe this debt and was told that I need to include EVERYTHING I owe. So that it won't come back and bite me in the butt. I have called every number and even faxed and mailed to the above address with no reply. What is your advice so I just leave it off and deal with it when it comes back any suggestions. Anyone????
