Sold me damaged wedding set
The day after christmas i recieved my anniversary wedding set from fingerhut. within 24 hours two stones had fallen out. i called customer service and they said they were sending out a label to mail it back for credit or an exchange. now remember this was like the 28th of december. im still waiting for the label. i even called customer service back and they didnt know anything about the first phone call, but said they would resend the label. still dont have it and while im waiting another stone fell out of the ring. fingerhut has the worst customer service i have ever seen in my life. most of them can barely speak english. and the rest cannot seem to place the order. by the time i get a label it wont even be diamonds anymore it will probably have turned back into coal. for real this place sux bigtime.

Scam
Fingerhut used to be a joke in our family because they lure in old people - in our case, our 80-something grandmother who spoke about 10 words of English - but her German was perfect. She thought they were a German company by the name.

My mother has now succumbed. She ordered me a present and the woman hit the order before asking her to confirm the shipping address, then said that there was no way to change it. Then, my parents paid an extra 20 bucks to fedEx it to me by Christmas.

It arrived broken.

Now, they won't give me a refund. They'll only credit back my father's account. Of course, they have to send me a label in the mail. No, they can't email the label. No, they can't issue me a check for the refund. And after they get the package back from me, they'll take up to 2 months to credit my parents. Meanwhile they can invest that cash for those two months, but aren't obligated to give us the interest they earn.

I am so furious I want the world to know this is the WORST company in America to do business with in 2011.

False advertising
FingerHut was helping those who were poor to purchase items with monthly payments. I ordered from a magazine and threw it away after I made the order. The order in the magazine advertized that is you bought two products together You would receive a discount. I looked my account and no

order was processed. They had told me it would be delivered Dec 10th.

I called then about my order and they would not give me any discount. I told them, I wasn't the one that made the mistake, I tried two more times

and asked for a supervior. All three said that their was no such deal and I did not know the magazine number. I told them it was the catalog sent to maryland in Dec. I told them what the add said and they acted like they

had no information or catalog. That is bad business.

They found the items but not the discounts. I am unhappy the way they did

not try to help me and the $35 dollar shipping charge.

Bad business
I was a loyal customer of Fingerhut fir many years...until one Christmas they sent me a defective item (it was a toy for my son) I called and told them about it but they did not feel they were responsible and refused to replace the item. Mind you...I didn't ask for a refund I wanted them to replace the item but they would not!

But yet they continued to bill me every month. I stopped doing business with them and asked that they discontinue sending me the catalogs. Well they continue to send them for three more years.

I called numerous times regarding this and they claimed it takes a while before the catalogs stop. I suspect they hoped that I would change my mind but I did not. Customer service was not accommodating at all...in fact they were very rude.

I have vowed to never do business with them again neither will I recommend them to anyone!

fraud
Watch your statements closely... just discovered they have charged me for 4 months for a protection I didn't authorize. Their response was could remove 2 mos only. Have had previous issues with them charging me protection plans on items but saw and got those off fast. So not worth dealing with these people.

Terrible customer service
I signed up for fingerhut on Nov 24, 2010. I was immediatly approved and given a $250 credit limit. That same day, I ordered 6 feather down pillows and a new King Size Bedding set. I received the items on Dec. 3rd 2010, my "free gift" arrived 2 days later (it was 2 christmas stockings, actually quite cute).

My only complaint is there customer service (the products they sell could be higher quality too, but thats what you get when you pay for the convience of monthly payments). Anyways, the day AFTER I ordered my items, I tried signing in again to see if they had anything else I wanted (I still had about $100 credit remaining and intended to pay them in full on my 1st due date) but I couldn't sign in!

I tried over and over, but my email address was not REGISTERED anymore! I called a few days later, and they told me they had a problem with their website and it would all be corrected. 2 weeks later, and it STILL isn't working! In fact, my email address is now registered to someone else's account! I plan on calling them again soon, we'll see what happens. But I don't expect much from people who can hardly speak english. I don't mind overseas customer service.. but they should at LEAST understand basic english and be understandable. People with intense thick indian accents should not work the phones.

Other than that, I was pretty pleased with my items. My comforter is soooo warm, my pillows are nice and soft (altho the feathers like to stick you occasionally). Fingerhut is what it is. If you can't afford to buy something outright at Walmart or wherever, than this is probably your best option. I am only doing it to improve my credit score and buy a few things here and there that I can't afford to buy outright while I'm in school and planning a wedding.

Scam
I bought one item from Halstead Jewelry company. I was billed through Fingherhut, and then they started sending items I didn't order. I returned three items, which they credited, but they charged me $6.98 shipping and then started tacking on exorbitant finance charges on top of that. When I called Fingerhut they said they could do nothing because they were just billing for Halstead. When I called Halstead, they claimed to have credited my account but I kept getting bills from Fingerhut. And many harrassing phone calls morning noon and night. After many called to customer service they claim to have finally settled the account. Fingerhut and Halstead are both ripoffs!

False advertisement
Over the year I have received several catalogs from Fingerhut stating I was preapproved for credit. The credit was different with each catalog ranging from three hundred to four hundred dollars. I never placed an order until November 15 I placed an order of what was supposed to be Christmas gifts. After waiting for two weeks and making two phone calls to inquire about my order I received an email stating I had been denied. This is bad business. I want removed from the mailing list. Apparently their idea of preapproved is not the same as mine.

Fraud
FINGERHUT gave my brother and his wife James+Beth Shelton of Dayton, Ohio credit usuing my name and ssi to buy items from their catalog, this is fraud and theft at its worst. I never gave anyone permission, they stole my identity, they bought space heaters, boombox and mattress, I have contacted the company, they will give anyone credit without checking addresses, I live in a different state and I am pissed. I have been sending letters to everyone I know that may help me.
