I to am a victim of this scam Fingerhut is trying to pull. I have contacted the Ohio Attorney General's Office and have hired an Attorney. My story is simple - I paid for my items ahead of time (by check) and asked that the items be shipped BEFORE Christmas. I sent $1973.22 and was promised that the items would be shipped the week of December 20,1994! Yes, you see the date right - 1994!
Fingerhut was fast to cash my check and S L O W L Y some of the items arrived (three to be totaling $45.67), and by December 18th, I called and was told most of my items were on back order and probably would arrive AFTER Christmas. Hummmmm - so I told them to cancel my order and refund my monies. Yes, I sent them a letter to their address (back then it was 1010 McCleand Road) confirming the cancellation. Anyways, would you not know it, on December 28,1994, magically all the gifts started to arrive via UPS - so I refused them because I had cancelled the order.
So, I wrote Fingerhut again, asking for my money back - and why was my order delayed then shipped AFTER the holidays? No response.
So, move forward to I get a past due from them and Jefferson Capital!!! Did Fingerhut think people would forget? Don't they understand they are breaking the law? Maybe a class action suit should be filed!!!
