Bought furniture Dec. 28 - no payment / interest for 2 yrs. Furniture not delivered until Jan. 17. Have money taken out of paycheck for 2 yrs so I'm able to pay bill. Have balance IN FULL ready to go early Jan. Each bill for 2 years shows due date 28th of each month. Get bill for Jan. And it shows due date for 28th. As I'm enclosing payment coupon in payment envelope, I read in TINY print "payment in full due Jan 3". It's Jan 7. Call to discuss issue with customer service, but they're only willing to reduce $1500 of interest to $900. Attempted to make my point that I didn't get furniture until Jan 17, so I shouldn't have been billed until that date; this would really result my payment being due Jan 17... 2 years later. Agreed I should have been more observant regarding TINY PRINT on billing statement, however their terms were in all actuality, fraudulent. My account should not have been charged until I actually received the goods.
