Had a phone call about around February or March saying I hadn't paid my fingerhut account and that it would be transfered into a credit account that would reward me with an Aspire Visa card after the balance was paid down to below a credit limit of $150.00 within a 1 year period. They offered no interest or penalties for being over the limit. I agreed and started to receive the statements each month.
I finally paid them off in December so I could get my card. (I hadn't gone below $150.00 prior to this). I made the payment over the phone using the 877-262-0002 number. They said I would receive my card in about 8 to 12 weeks. It's been 24 weeks and nothing.
So I called that same number again and was told that they were a collection agency and that they had a fax number that I could use to request my card. Right on the statement it says "
After reading about the Aspire company I'm not even going to bother getting the card. I don't need the hassle. Just wanted others to know about this scam to get a debt collected.
For the record the billing statements have Aspire on them. The address is P.O. Box 23007, Columbus, GA 31902-3007. For Correspondence the statement has this address: P.O. Box 105617 Atlanta, Georgia 30348-5617.
