Compucredit - Fingerhut
Huge scam/rip off!

I don't even know where to begin, all I know is Fingerhut is trying to say that I purchased some items from them in 1997 (have NO idea what). But I have a collection agency that has put a "freeze" on my bank accounts.

I called the collection agency Rubin & Rothman and the woman is not able to give me any info on Fingerhut, she just keeps saying she is the "Middle person". She will not give me any other information but to go on the website.

I was forced into doing a "quick collect" Western Union for $400, two days later I was told I have to pay $150 for 4 months at which time I will either have to pay the balance in full or divide the balance into two payments. For what? I have not ordered anything from them, I got a Credit Report to see what was going on and the report says three differnt dates. 12-01,03-07 and 04-07.

When I called Fingerhut I spoke to a woman by the name of "Sheena" that is all she would give me and she explained that the "REAL" Fingerhut has shut down in 2002 and they who ever "they" is bought the name. She said the company was now Compucredit and they only have a fax number and a P.O. Box they have no number or "physical" person I can speak with.

In the mean time the collection agency has given me until 03-24 to show that I am trying to correct this situation or else they will put ANOTHER freeze on my account until I make the appropriate payments. I am in the process of contacting the BBB and the Attorney Generals office.

This is BS and they should not be allowed to do this to anyone, I mean come on, from 1997, are you kidding me? They got some nerve, this is not my bill to pay and I will FIGHT this to the bitter end.
