We had a solicitor come to our door. First, he tricked us in to letting him in by asking us if we use Kleenex. When we said that we did he asked us if he could give us a demonstration and free sample. We said "yes" and he went outside to bring back a huge box! He said "yes, it's kind of big. Hee hee" and the pulled out a Kirby vacuum! He was high pressure and kept saying that he could go lower if we needed him to but "this was a great deal!" He said that he would take our old vacuum and credit us $100-200 for it and then the company would re-furb it and send it to Haiti for a program that they were doing.
After he left we went over the contract only to find out that there was a 24% interest rate that he never mentioned! We would have had to pay 1/4 of the price of the vacuum to interest alone. We decided at that point we didn't want it and over-night the cancellation form the very next day.
