No store credit no nothing
BlueHippo started taking payments out of my checking account even Before I signed a contract...I soon had severe problems with my checking account...I closed it.When I tried to contact them I was put on hold for over and hour and did not get anything accomplished. They were very rude and put me on hold...for another hour...I eventually hung up. I could not get any answers...no instore credit as promised...no nothing. I just wonder if there is anything I can do about this?

Rip off alert
I PURCHASED THIS COMPUTER FROM BLUE HIPPO IN SEPTEMBER, 2008. THEY DEDUCTED $69.98 FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT EVERY 2 WEEKS. After my activation payment of $99 and 13 consecutive weeks worth of payments I would receive my computer. That never happened. After numerous calls and getting no answers I stopped payments. Once I did get thru and they said the computer was in the warehouse ready to be shipped. I've sent all the documents to the Pa. Attorney General's office, last year and have not heard from them since. Funny thing is I saw an advertisment of TV last night just like Blue Hippo's but they changed their name and phone number. I am on disability and I could really use that money back.

My Laptop purchase
I purchase a laptop computer from these people in Sept. 2008, for 1, 918.00. They were getting money out of my account each week. I finally realize that i could not get in touch with these people even with the wrong phone number above. They scam me out of over 1500.00 and i cant get into my account or in touch with these people to receive my in store voucher for a purchase at Best Buy or something. Its so cruel that these people would even advertise this false mess. What can we do to get our money back, it was a gift for my daughter upon entering college. Please help us. My name is Rhonda Jackson. Send me some information to my email @ LJA 5417 @peoplepc.com. I will be looking out for you and you can tell these people that they can go you no where for life. They are cruel and bogese people to advertise this false mess. I want my daughters money back or please send her a voucher to get another computer at Best Buy for $1500.00. You people are nasty and i hope that someone will treat you the same way that you have treated us.

Lied and took my money
I started a contract with blue hippo to receive a laptop computer and they took money out of my account. When I got laid off I couldn't continue to pay for the computer which I never received and when I questioned them about it, they told me that even though I never got anything from them, that they did not refund any money paid, but I had to go to their web site and purchase items in the amount of money that was paid to them. There was no such site and their phone # was no longer in use.

Stole my money $1600.00 and now they are nowhere to be found with my money and no compute
I work hard for my money and blue hippo stole $1600.00 from me and now they are out of business with my money and I have no computer to show for it. I tried to place an order and their telephone staff kept giving me the run around. I wrote a letter by US mail and stated what I wanted to purchase, and again no repond and I am still without my cash or computers I ordered. They should have had the decency to return money to clients if they were going out of business and couldn't furnish the products. Thief! But if I did that to them the crdit police would be knocking down my door.

Rip off
Blue Hippo ripped me off to the tune of 2000$ for a laptop computer.they scammed me with low weekly payments and the promise of free gifts when the laptop was paid off. Eventually their phone number no longer worked. Here is what I have done. Contact the Federal Trade Commission. File a complaint. They have heard of Blue Hippo. Contact the Virginia Office of Consumer Affairs and File a complaint with them. Since Blue Hippo filed bankruptcy you need to file a proof of claim with the United States Bankruptcy Court. Case #09-14154-KG This is the only way that anyone that got ripped off by these guys can even hope to recover some of their losses. Pass the word along!

My Computer Package
I was promised a computer, Dell or Gateway, with a printer and TV, plus programs for the computer. They took the money out of my account and I never received anything. I called and they said it was being shipped. Never received!! My hard earned money went toward nothing. I am angry and want my money back.

Took $1918. Never shipped my computer
Over a period of 13 months Blue Hippo deducted $1918. I was expecting delivery about the time my home remodel would be complete. In November 2009 I was told that I would be provided with a ship date within the next few days. By December 2nd I found from online that their assets had been seized and that they had filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. So I have filed a complaint with the FTC. Their Bankruptcy File # is: 052-3092 with the Federal Trade Commission. My only salvation: take this loss as a deduction on my tax return for 2009.
