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.

Smcgowan,

Try this number: 800-900-4111

CompuCredit is an alias of Fingerhut. Please come back and post here if this number helps.

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.

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.
