Customer Complaint

I have an account I rarely use. I received an email saying if I don't make a purchase soon, they will close my account. In order to avoid a negative mark on my credit. I made what I thought was a small purchase online. The items were for a housewarming. One of the items arrived many days late. When I got the statement for the purchase I realized that I had been charged more than double the usual price for one item and almost triple the going rate on the other item. I was also charged almost $25 to ship these 2 small lightweight items. Resolution Sought I would like for them to stop scamming seniors. Usurious interest rates , deceptive practices and poor service at a premium price. I would like my shipping costs refunded because the item arrived so late.

In the inquiry, you state after receiving an email notifying your acct would be closed if not used, you ordered a few small items. However, when the statement came, you realized you were charged about double what you would have been charged elsewhwere. You indicated being overcharged for shipping and having too high interest rate. you are requesting a refund of the shipping cost. We have carefully reviewed all available records: Records confirm in 3/25, your Fingerhut Fetti card acct was deteremined "inactive" after reaching 2 yrs of no activity(last purchase 2/12/23) Several communications were sent to you in attempt to ensure you were aware of the inactivity and to allow time to purchase when it was right for you, should you wish to do Recently, on 3/18/25, you used your acct and placed the most recent order via the web. Your acct is considered "active' and will not be closed given your new order. Your latest order consisted of 2 items, along with shipping and tax the total was 104.90 Records confirm your payoff pymt of $104.90 received on 4/11/25 reduced the balance to 0. Thank you for your pynmt. As you paid the balance in full within the same billing cycle, no interest or fees were assessed. Your acct remains at a 0 balance as of this writing.

I never entered into a contract to pay this balance. Therefore I do not have to pay this off. They are charging me without my permission, I never accepted a contract between WEBBANK/FINGERHUT and I, therefore I am not obligated to pay them anything. Resolution Sought I would like for this account to be removed from my credit report because I never entered into a contract with WEBBANK/FINGERHUT.

Company states; An online application for credit with WebBank/Fingerhut was processed on April 29, 2017, via the internet with your personally identifiable information. The name, Social Security number and date of birth had successful validation by the automated underwriting system, and the customer data was matched against independent third-party data. Additionally, there were no fraud indicators with the application. The application was approved the same day for a WebBank/Fingerhut Advantage credit account. During the application process the customer is required to acknowledge the box which states, "Yes, I accept these terms. Clicking submit constitutes my signature to this application for credit." Two orders were placed on this account. The first order was placed over the phone on August 11, 2017 for a total of $126.52, and the second order was also placed over the phone on August 31, 2017 for $270.04. The orders were shipped to address 2325 7th St, Wasco, CA 93280. This is the same address you provided on your complaint to the Better Business Bureau (21478438).
