In Ms. [redacted]’s inquiry she states her order was not mailed to her until all blazers were available in July. Ms. [redacted] states that we had shipped some of the blazers to her in March but at a much higher cost than what was first quoted to her. Ms. [redacted] received a merchandise credit for one of the returns because it was received outside of our 90-day return policy a credit was sent instead of processing to her Private Label Credit Card account. Ms. [redacted] contacted our customer service department and requested to have the Merchandise Credit reversed and applied to her credit card. Ms. [redacted] placed her order on March 25, 2016 as a group order. Ms. [redacted] had her orders multiple shipped to 14 different addresses. Unfortunately, some of the blazers especially in the larger sizes were on backorder until July 2016. Ms. [redacted] was offered our general group order discount of 15% off per item. Ms. [redacted] contacted our office on April 20, 2016, stating that she should have received free shipping on each of her orders. Blair offers to honor one promotion code per order and this was explained at the time of the original order. As an appeasement, credits were issued for original shipping and taxes, as Ms. [redacted] is at tax exempt status. The credit amount at that time was in the amount of $156.40 which included $111.89 in shipping costs. The cost of each Fully Lined Blazer was to be charged $30.59. Returns were made by some of the gift receivers which resulted in several credits, others made exchanges for a smaller size. This resulted in tax charges not being removed and one order being charged shipping. As a courtesy, adjustments of $5.90 in tax charges and $8.99 shipping charge was credited to Ms. [redacted]’s Private Label Credit Card. A credit was issued on December 29, 2016, as we were not aware of another return that was made which resulted in the merchandise credit of $32.43. The credit was applied to her Private Label Credit Card for that merchandise credit, which has been deactivated. We consider Ms. [redacted]’s order closed. If additional returns are made a merchandise credit will be issued that are within our 90-day return policy. If Ms. [redacted] has any further questions, she may contact our Customer Service Department at ###-###-####, Monday-Friday 9 am to 9 pm, Eastern Time. Thank you for allowing us to explain.

I am rejecting this response because:
there are some material inaccuracies in their statement. I waited fours for the repairman from Aguirre Appliance repair and he didn't show up within the alotted time. He called a few minutes before noon to ask if I could wait but I could not. I had already waited for four hours. Assurian then sent another repair shop to come last Thursday 2/23/17 between the hours of 8-11. The repairman called me at 10:00am to notify me that he would be at my apartment in 30 minutes. He then called 30 minutes later to tell me that he had arrived and asked how to gain access to my building. I told him that he had to call from the call box. He then stated that there was no call box and further described where he was. it turns out he was at least a half hour away at the wrong address. The most upsetting part of his error was that he continued to argue with me that he was in the right place and then finally hung up. I have now waiting for 7 hours total for and extended service contract that I had paid $99 dollars for. These people have so far demonstrated lack of respect for my time, have been rude, called me a liar, and hung up on me. I refuse to accept service from them in the future and request a full refund for product and the service contact that I have been trying to access but have not been able to due to their incompetence.
I am rejecting this response because:This company has no idea about any of the things that transpire within thier company. They are stating that the payments was made from a card with the name [redacted] that is a lie because my name was still [redacted] edge at the time so I know that thier information is inaccurate. ITS VERY IMPOSSIBLE CAUSE OUT WASN'T MY AME YET. and the name [redacted] Brown was used to open this account by my children's father and as far as them reporting inaccurate information even as this letter was typed in response it's not accurate because I got tired of going back and forth with a company that knows nothing and I payed it off because my kid father is in prison for 15yrs and at this point I'm over this companies lack of knowledge and I'm filling complaint with the attorney general and looking into a lawyer cause this is just pathetic the least they could have done was look up the account before sending a bogus as response but I'm pretty sure it will help me build a case to have the information removed and to stop them from doing this to others

Dear Ms. [redacted],
I am writing...
in response to the inquiry we received from your office on behalf of Ms. [redacted] regarding a WebBank/Fingerhut Advantage Credit Account.
Our records indicate an order was placed on our website for a Super Chef 14 pc. Nonstick Cookware Set on March 18, 2013. We have no record of a Rachel Ray Cookware Set being placed on Ms. [redacted]'s account.
Our return policy is listed on our website and in our catalogs and states, in part:
We will exchange your product or give you a refund for most items returned in new condition within 30 days after date of purchase. Returns will not be accepted for credit after 90 days. If you have any problems with a product, please check the manufacturer's warranty. Fingerhut provides a convenient prepaid return label service for most products. You can visit our Returns Center in the My Account area of the website to print a new return label at Fingerhut.com or contact Customer Service. Pre-paid return labels are not available for truck-ship items, oversized items, or Fingerhut FreshStart accounts. Contact Customer Service for help with your return.
After a thorough review of Ms. [redacted]'s account, we have no record of her contacting us in reference with any problem for the Cookware. Unfortunately, due to the length of time she has had the Cookware we are unable to accept the return.
On December 13, 2013 our records indicate an order placed for a Ragalta Thermo Electric Hot and Cold Water Cooler and a 2 yr. Extended Service Plan (ESP). On January 13, 2014 Ms. [redacted] contacted us to advise she would be returning the Water Cooler because she did not like the item. On March 28, 2014 we sent an "affidavit of non-receipt of returned merchandise" since we did not receive the return. On April 30, 2014, a letter was sent to the address on file for Ms. [redacted] advising we require a copy of her return receipt. We have no record of receiving the receipt. We suggest Ms. [redacted] contact the shipping company she used to return the item for additional assistance.
Please understand we make every effort to apply our policies consistently and fairly to all of our customers and we are applying the policy the same for her as we would any other customer with similar circumstances.
Thank you for allowing us to assist and explain.
Sincerely,
Vi [redacted]

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
What the rep has responded to is incorrect and she may claim there is no record of the complaints or disputes however those are lies.
Another reason why I don't exactly shop for products anymore because they do not honor their word. Yes I purchased extended warranty for the product however, I can't make a claim on something that was returned because I cannot produce the product.
Thanks

Ms. [redacted] states that she ordered a product which was damaged and when she tried to contact Fingerhut regarding returning the product she never received a response email. Ms. [redacted]’s account indicates an order was placed on May 3, 2015 via the web for a Ragalta 4-Pc. Canister Set – Red and delivered to [redacted] Winchester, KY 40391 on May 6, 2016. Our records indicate we received an email from Ms. [redacted] on May 31, 2016 indicating she was unhappy with the product, there was rust on the lid and the paint was coming off. A representative responded to Ms. [redacted]’s email on June 1, 2016 apologizing for the issue and advising her to check the packing slip for a return label and to follow the instructions to return the product. The representative also advised her to contact us if she did not receive a return label and let us know if she would like the label sent via U.S. Mail or email. Records indicate we received a second email from Ms. [redacted] indicating she did not receive a reply to her first email and is now stuck paying for a product that is no good. A representative responded to Ms. [redacted] on June 14, 2016 apologized and inquired if she would like the return label sent via U.S. Mail or email. Our records indicate we received a reply from Ms. [redacted] on July 1, 2016 indicating she would like the label sent to her via U.S. Mail. A reply was sent to Ms. [redacted] on July 1, 2016 informing her a label would be mailed and to allow up to 10 business days to receive it. She was also advised to indicate if she would like a credit or an exchange and to allow 10-15 days for us to receive and process the return. While we sympathize with Ms. [redacted], We strongly advise customers keep their account in good standing by making the minimum amount due each month, even while engaged in a dispute or in the process of a return until the issue has been resolved. Ms. [redacted]’s current balance on her account is $53.07 with a minimum payment of $7.99 due by July 13, 2016.

Ms. [redacted] indicates in her inquiry that she made a payment of $59.99 on July 5, 2016 and that she was charged a $27.00 late fee because the payment was declined. She indicates she made the payment with a new card, not the card ending in 6774. She is requesting that the late fee be removed from her account. Our records indicate Ms. [redacted] set up a scheduled payment on our website on July 4, 2016 to be taken from her debit card ending in 6774 on July 5, 2016. When we attempted to process Ms. [redacted]’s payment, per her request, on July 5, 2016 the payment was declined by Ms. [redacted]’s bank and a late fee of $27.00 was assessed to Ms. [redacted]’s account. When Ms. [redacted] opened her Fingerhut Credit Account she agreed to the terms and conditions. Within these terms and conditions it states, “Late fees will be equal to your minimum payment due with a maximum amount of $27.00. The maximum amount will increase but not be more than $37.00 if you did not make your minimum payment on time in any one of the 6 prior billing cycles.” On July 21, 2016 Ms. [redacted] contacted our Customer Service Department and provided the new card information by phone and made a payment of $59.99 from her debit card ending in [redacted]. The late fee of $27.00 was also waived the same day as a courtesy. The credit will be reflected on Ms. [redacted]’s August 13, 2016 billing statement.

River Ridge Circle Burnsville, MN 55337 Re: [redacted] Case #: [redacted] Dear Ms. [redacted], We are writing in response to an inquiry received from your office on behalf of Mr. [redacted] regarding his WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account. Attached is a statement of account activity. Mr. [redacted] states payments are being made on time each month, but Fingerhut is not applying the payments to his account. Mr. [redacted] further states that after one of his payments was processed successfully, Fingerhut continued to run additional payments until his credit card locked up. Mr. [redacted] is requesting an investigation because Fingerhut is calling him in an attempt to collect payments. Mr. [redacted] states he can prove that payments have already been made. Based on our research, the balance on Mr. [redacted]’s account was zero when he placed an order on November 22, 2015. An additional order was placed on December 21, 2015 with the first payment of $46.99 being due on January 7, 2016. According to our records, Mr. [redacted] spoke with an agent on January 11, 2016 but declined to make a payment. Mr. [redacted] stated that someone else would be making a payment on his account. There is no record of any attempted payments being made on Mr. [redacted]’s bill until March 1, 2016 when a $40.00 payment was processed successfully online with an American Express debit card. On April 1, 2016, there were five attempts to process a payment online for $60.00, $60.00, $80.00, $180.00 and $186.00. Each of the five payment attempts were declined. Please note that when a payment declines, the cardholder will see a “Pending Authorization” on their card. This authorization will be removed and the funds are released back to the card after approximately two to five days. On May 24, 2016, Mr. [redacted] enrolled in a three-month payment plan. On June 5, 2016, the first of three $59.99 payments was processed successfully. The remaining two payments are scheduled to process on July 5, 2016 and August 5, 2016. After successful completion, Mr. [redacted]’s account will be brought current. As of June 10, 2016, Mr. [redacted]’s balance on his account is $959.70. Based on the call logs associated with Mr. [redacted]’s account, all outbound collection calls were attempted between the hours of 8am and 9pm Eastern Standard Time. Our records also indicate Fingerhut never attempted to contact Mr. [redacted] more than six times in a day while his account was in a delinquent status. If Mr. Reeder has further questions, he may contact our Billing Department at ###-###-####. Their hours are 7:00am to 9:00pm Monday through Thursday; 7:00am to 6:00pm Friday; and 7:00am to noon Saturday Central Standard Time. Thank you for allowing us to explain.

While customer satisfaction is very important to us, we do require returns to be made in accordance with our Return Policy, which states:
"We will grant exchange or issue a credit for full cash price within 30 days of receipt. After 180 days, we will no longer grant an exchange or issue a refund. Shipping and handling charges are non refundable. Computers, camcorders, video games, and generators: Fingerhut offers returns and exchanges through the 30-day home trial period for the full cash price. After that time we can no longer grant exchanges or accept returns. Other product concerns must be handled under the manufacturers' warranty. Software and music CD's: May be returned for credit or refund only if in the original unopened packaging with the factory seal intact. Exchanges are permitted for the identical product only."

Mr. [redacted]’s inquiry states that after purchasing a Fitbit Flex he was unable to activate it through Fitbit since Fingerhut is not an authorized seller of Fitbit products. Mr. [redacted] also requests credit for the original shipping and handling charges and the return shipping fee, for his Fingerhut account to be closed and to no longer have a balance owing with Fingerhut. Our records indicate Mr. [redacted] placed an order on April 28, 2016 on our website for a Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity and Sleep Wristband. The total including shipping and handling was $154.72. On May 6, 2016 Mr. [redacted] contacted us via chat and advised us he would be returning the item as he was advised it is counterfeit. Please understand, like many retailers, we buy some of our new, factory fresh products from authorized distributors instead of direct from the manufacturer. As a result, we handle the warranty and service needs directly for our customers. On May 17, 2016 we received the return of the Fitbit and credit was issued to Mr. [redacted]’s account in the amount of $131.78. Our return policy is listed on our website and in our catalogs and is as follows: We will exchange your product or give you a refund for most items returned in new condition within 30 days after date of purchase. Returns will not be accepted for credit after 90 days. If you have any problems with a product, please check the manufacturer’s warranty.

There is no upfront fee when using the return label. There is no fee for using the return label if you received a damaged of defective product or in the case of a shipping error. The final determination of product condition is subject to our inspection. Return fees not covered by Fingerhut will be deducted from your credit based on the weight of the package. The original shipping and handling is nonrefundable if your item is not damaged or defective or in the case of a shipping error. The reason Mr. [redacted] selected on the return reason form was “Not as described/pictured,” which we consider a non-qualifying reason. Therefore, the original shipping and handling of $14.99 and the return shipping fee of $7.95 was not credited. On May 31, 2016, Mr. [redacted] contacted us by phone and the agent issued credit for the original shipping and handling and the return shipping fee. The credit appears on Mr. [redacted]’s June 1, 2016 billing statement. A late fee of $14.99 was assessed to Mr. [redacted]’s account prior to the credit being issued for the shipping and handling fees. We have issued credit for the late fee. This credit will appear on Mr. [redacted]’s July 1, 2016 billing statement. There is no remaining balance on his account as of the date of this letter.

Re: [redacted]
Case #: [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted],
I am writing in response to...
an inquiry received from your office on behalf of Ms. [redacted] regarding her WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account.
Ms. [redacted] states she made a payment for $22.10 in November 2015 that brought her account balance to zero. Ms. [redacted] also states Fingerhut continued to charge her interest, late fees and account protection fees on an account with a zero balance. Ms. [redacted] maintains Fingerhut did not contact her about the balance due until February 2016, and as a result her credit is damaged. Ms. [redacted] is requesting to have her credit report updated to current because her bill was paid in full in November 2015.
According to our records, when Ms. [redacted]'s statement printed on November 6, 2015, the balance on her account was $52.10 On November 20, 2015, a payment was received for her December 2, 2016 bill in the amount of $22.10.This left a balance of $30.00.
When Ms. [redacted]'s statement printed on December 6, 2016, Safeline fees and interest charges were calculated based on the balance of $30.00. Ms. [redacted] was charged the minimum interest of $1.00 and .37 for Safeline account protection. These charges brought her balance to $31.37.
No payment was received by the next due date of January 2, 2016, so a late fee of $6.99 was charged to Ms. [redacted]'s account.
When her statement printed on January 6, 2016, Safeline protection fee and interest were charged based on the balance $38.36. In February 2016, Ms. [redacted]'s account was charged a late fee of $13.98 plus Safeline fees and interest charges bringing her balance to $55.46.
Ms. [redacted]'s payment of $34.49 received on February 26, 2016 brought the account balance to $20.97. The two late fees totaling $20.97 were credited as a courtesy on March 2, 2016. Although already applied to the account, the credits will reflect on her next monthly statement which will be generated on March 6, 2016.
An account review on March 4, 2016 confirmed that Ms. [redacted]'s account is open with a zero balance.
According to our records, Fingerhut began attempts to reach Ms. [redacted] by phone on January 3, 2016. These calls continued until February 26, 2016 when the account was brought current.
Ms. [redacted] spoke with an agent on January 20, 2016, but according to our records, Ms. [redacted] said she was at work and ended the call.
Fingerhut received an email from Ms. [redacted] on January 14, 2016 in which she states that she had paid off her bill. We responded to the email on January 15, 2016 requesting Ms. [redacted] to contact Customer Service regarding her billing questions.
An account review on March 2, 2016, confirmed that Equifax, Experian and Trans Union are reporting accurately.
We cannot revise the information we are reporting to the credit bureaus as we are required by law to furnish accurate reporting. Please reference the Reporting and Monitoring section of our terms and conditions that was included in Ms. [redacted]'s Welcome Packet. It states:
"If you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation, a negative report reflecting on your credit records can be submitted to one or more credit reporting agencies."
Conversely, accounts that are in good standing will be reported as well.
If Ms. [redacted] still has questions about her account regarding what has or has not been reported to the credit bureaus, please contact us at the address listed above or by calling us toll-free at [redacted], Monday through Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm Central Standard Time.

your office on behalf of Mrs. [redacted] regarding a WebBank/Fingerhut Advantage Credit Account.
Ms. [redacted]'s account indicates she spoke with a representative on March 14, 2016 at which time an agreement to send a replacement was reached with Ms. [redacted].

Our records indicate an account was opened using Mr. [redacted]’s personal information via phone with a customer service representative on January 7, 2013. On that same date, an order was placed Adidas Men’s Isolation Mid Basketball Shoe (Black-Silver, 10).This item was to be shipped (tracking number [redacted]) to [redacted] Sewickley, PA 15143. When a package is picked up from a UPS facility, UPS is required to ask for a photo ID such as driver’s license or state-issued license. Unauthorized account registration and activity is a serious matter, and we have certain procedures in place to assist those making this claim. As Mr. [redacted] denies authorizing the account matching his personally identifiable information, we referred this matter to our Credit Risk Department for further review. They advised of already being aware of the fraudulent activity claim for this account. An affidavit of unordered merchandise completed by Mr. [redacted] was received. However, there was no police report with the affidavit and a letter of denial was mailed to Mr. [redacted]. This letter explained a police report would also be required. To date we have not received the requested police report. As we understand the urgency of the situation, Mr. [redacted] may expedite this process by faxing the required police report to ###-###-#### Attn: Jessica or mail the document to [redacted] Cloud, MN 56303. If Mr. [redacted] is unable to provide a police report, he may supply the name of the agency, officer’s name, badge number, and the case number.

I am rejecting this response because:
It seems to me that you are more focus on saying that I should not have filed this on my bankruptcy. I filed everything that was on my bankruptcy and the judge excepted everything. I filed in 2012 but it was not process until after I applied for services with Finger hut. All of this should not matter because it was paid in full and you have been reporting me negative since 2013. Finger Hut has been reporting negative on my credit report since 2013 - 2018 and I have been requesting you to update the status of not paid to paid since my bankruptcy and you have not. I have documents that you were included in my bankruptcy. I also provided documentation that you transferred the account to [redacted], LLC and they reported negative on my account. I am not suppose to have two creditors for the same bill on my credit report for the same item. The Law states that for the credit bureau. I am asking you to get off my credit report because through my bankruptcy [redacted] and Finger Hut WebBank have been reporting on their with [redacted] and that is illegal. WebBank/Finger Hut transferred/sold the account to [redacted], LLC their for you can no longer report on my credit report it is the law. I spoke with my lawyer and they are taking action against this. I read the law and I understood everything. You have been reporting me negative since 2013 I filed my bankruptcy 2012 but did not go forward until sometime in 2013. Your company WebBank/Finger Hut and [redacted], LLC were both on my bankruptcy and you both reported negative. I paid [redacted] and they remove themselves off my credit report as paid in full. You kept reporting negative as I asked for the last 5 years to update it to positive paid in full and Fingerhut has refused to update my report. I received a letter from Fingerhut and I am attaching it. I did nothing wrong I paid my debt to [redacted] and finger hut has been reporting negative on me for 5 years. I asked that you remove yourself off my credit report because you made the mistake of not reporting paid on my credit report. I am doing everything right after I filed my bankruptcy and your company has not been fair. I paid finger hut the money that I was suppose to pay and you never updated my credit report. WebBank/Finger Hut sold this account why are you reporting negative on my credit report for the last 5 years.

Ms. [redacted] states she purchased a TV and vacuum on December 1, 2016. She set up biweekly payments in the amount of $54.19. She received an e-mail on December 8, 2016 that stated the order for the vacuum was cancelled due to the item being out of stock. She states she contacted PayCheck Direct and was told the same payment of $54.19 would be withdrawn although the vacuum was cancelled. Ms. [redacted] stresses the item is shown to be in stock on PayCheck Direct’s website. She also states she contacted PayCheck Direct and was told the vacuum would be shipped that day, however online the tracking number was shown the item to have already been shipped. Ms. [redacted] is unsatisfied with the response she received from Customer Service representatives.

In Ms. [redacted]’s inquiry she states her order was not mailed to her until all blazers were available in July. Ms. [redacted] states that we had shipped some of the blazers to her in March but at a much higher cost than what was first quoted to her. Ms. [redacted] received a merchandise credit for one of the returns because it was received outside of our 90-day return policy a credit was sent instead of processing to her Private Label Credit Card account. Ms. [redacted] contacted our customer service department and requested to have the Merchandise Credit reversed and applied to her credit card. Ms. [redacted] placed her order on March 25, 2016 as a group order. Ms. [redacted] had her orders multiple shipped to 14 different addresses. Unfortunately, some of the blazers especially in the larger sizes were on backorder until July 2016. Ms. [redacted] was offered our general group order discount of 15% off per item. Ms. [redacted] contacted our office on April 20, 2016, stating that she should have received free shipping on each of her orders. Blair offers to honor one promotion code per order and this was explained at the time of the original order. As an appeasement, credits were issued for original shipping and taxes, as Ms. [redacted] is at tax exempt status. The credit amount at that time was in the amount of $156.40 which included $111.89 in shipping costs. The cost of each Fully Lined Blazer was to be charged $30.59. Returns were made by some of the gift receivers which resulted in several credits, others made exchanges for a smaller size. This resulted in tax charges not being removed and one order being charged shipping. As a courtesy, adjustments of $5.90 in tax charges and $8.99 shipping charge was credited to Ms. [redacted]’s Private Label Credit Card. A credit was issued on December 29, 2016, as we were not aware of another return that was made which resulted in the merchandise credit of $32.43. The credit was applied to her Private Label Credit Card for that merchandise credit, which has been deactivated. We consider Ms. [redacted]’s order closed. If additional returns are made a merchandise credit will be issued that are within our 90-day return policy.

I am rejecting this response because:
there are some material inaccuracies in their statement. I waited fours for the repairman from Aguirre Appliance repair and he didn't show up within the alotted time. He called a few minutes before noon to ask if I could wait but I could not. I had already waited for four hours. Assurian then sent another repair shop to come last Thursday 2/23/17 between the hours of 8-11. The repairman called me at 10:00am to notify me that he would be at my apartment in 30 minutes. He then called 30 minutes later to tell me that he had arrived and asked how to gain access to my building. I told him that he had to call from the call box. He then stated that there was no call box and further described where he was. it turns out he was at least a half hour away at the wrong address. The most upsetting part of his error was that he continued to argue with me that he was in the right place and then finally hung up. I have now waiting for 7 hours total for and extended service contract that I had paid $99 dollars for. These people have so far demonstrated lack of respect for my time, have been rude, called me a liar, and hung up on me. I refuse to accept service from them in the future and request a full refund for product and the service contact that I have been trying to access but have not been able to due to their incompetence.
I am rejecting this response because:This company has no idea about any of the things that transpire within thier company. They are stating that the payments was made from a card with the name [redacted] that is a lie because my name was still [redacted] edge at the time so I know that thier information is inaccurate. ITS VERY IMPOSSIBLE CAUSE OUT WASN'T MY AME YET. and the name [redacted] Brown was used to open this account by my children's father and as far as them reporting inaccurate information even as this letter was typed in response it's not accurate because I got tired of going back and forth with a company that knows nothing and I payed it off because my kid father is in prison for 15yrs and at this point I'm over this companies lack of knowledge and I'm filling complaint with the attorney general and looking into a lawyer cause this is just pathetic the least they could have done was look up the account before sending a bogus a
s response but I'm pretty sure it will help me build a case to have the information removed and to stop them from doing this to others

Dear Ms. [redacted],
I am writing...
in response to the inquiry we received from your office on behalf of Ms. [redacted] regarding a WebBank/Fingerhut Advantage Credit Account.
Our records indicate an order was placed on our website for a Super Chef 14 pc. Nonstick Cookware Set on March 18, 2013. We have no record of a Rachel Ray Cookware Set being placed on Ms. [redacted]'s account.
Our return policy is listed on our website and in our catalogs and states, in part:
We will exchange your product or give you a refund for most items returned in new condition within 30 days after date of purchase. Returns will not be accepted for credit after 90 days. If you have any problems with a product, please check the manufacturer's warranty. Fingerhut provides a convenient prepaid return label service for most products. You can visit our Returns Center in the My Account area of the website to print a new return label at Fingerhut.com or contact Customer Service. Pre-paid return labels are not available for truck-ship items, oversized items, or Fingerhut FreshStart accounts. Contact Customer Service for help with your return.
After a thorough review of Ms. [redacted]'s account, we have no record of her contacting us in reference with any problem for the Cookware. Unfortunately, due to the length of time she has had the Cookware we are unable to accept the return.
On December 13, 2013 our records indicate an order placed for a Ragalta Thermo Electric Hot and Cold Water Cooler and a 2 yr. Extended Service Plan (ESP). On January 13, 2014 Ms. [redacted] contacted us to advise she would be returning the Water Cooler because she did not like the item. On March 28, 2014 we sent an "affidavit of non-receipt of returned merchandise" since we did not receive the return. On April 30, 2014, a letter was sent to the address on file for Ms. [redacted] advising we require a copy of her return receipt. We have no record of receiving the receipt. We suggest Ms. [redacted] contact the shipping company she used to return the item for additional assistance.
Please understand we make every effort to apply our policies consistently and fairly to all of our customers and we are applying the policy the same for her as we would any other customer with similar circumstances.
Thank you for allowing us to assist and explain.
Sincerely,

What the rep has responded to is incorrect and she may claim there is no record of the complaints or disputes however those are lies.
Another reason why I don't exactly shop for products anymore because they do not honor their word. Yes I purchased extended warranty for the product however, I can't make a claim on something that was returned because I cannot produce the product.

Our records indicate we received an email from Ms. [redacted] on May 31, 2016 indicating she was unhappy with the product, there was rust on the lid and the paint was coming off. A representative responded to Ms. [redacted]’s email on June 1, 2016 apologizing for the issue and advising her to check the packing slip for a return label and to follow the instructions to return the product. The representative also advised her to contact us if she did not receive a return label and let us know if she would like the label sent via U.S. Mail or email. Records indicate we received a second email from Ms. [redacted] indicating she did not receive a reply to her first email and is now stuck paying for a product that is no good. A representative responded to Ms. [redacted] on June 14, 2016 apologized and inquired if she would like the return label sent via U.S. Mail or email. Our records indicate we received a reply from Ms. [redacted] on July 1, 2016 indicating she would like the label sent to her via U.S. Mail.

River Ridge Circle Burnsville, MN 55337 Re: [redacted] Case #: [redacted] Dear Ms. [redacted], We are writing in response to an inquiry received from your office on behalf of Mr. [redacted] regarding his WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account. Attached is a statement of account activity. Mr. [redacted] states payments are being made on time each month, but Fingerhut is not applying the payments to his account. Mr. [redacted] further states that after one of his payments was processed successfully, Fingerhut continued to run additional payments until his credit card locked up. Mr. [redacted] is requesting an investigation because Fingerhut is calling him in an attempt to collect payments. Mr. [redacted] states he can prove that payments have already been made. Based on our research, the balance on Mr. [redacted]’s account was zero when he placed an order on November 22, 2015. An additional order was placed on December 21, 2015 with the first payment of $46.99 being due on January 7, 2016. According to our records, Mr. [redacted] spoke with an agent on January 11, 2016 but declined to make a payment. Mr. [redacted] stated that someone else would be making a payment on his account. There is no record of any attempted payments being made on Mr. [redacted]’s bill until March 1, 2016 when a $40.00 payment was processed successfully online with an American Express debit card. On April 1, 2016, there were five attempts to process a payment online for $60.00, $60.00, $80.00, $180.00 and $186.00. Each of the five payment attempts were declined. Please note that when a payment declines, the cardholder will see a “Pending Authorization” on their card. This authorization will be removed and the funds are released back to the card after approximately two to five days. On May 24, 2016, Mr. [redacted] enrolled in a three-month payment plan. On June 5, 2016, the first of three $59.99 payments was processed successfully. The remaining two payments are scheduled to process on July 5, 2016 and August 5, 2016. After successful completion, Mr. [redacted]’s account will be brought current. As of June 10, 2016, Mr. [redacted]’s balance on his account is $959.70. Based on the call logs associated with Mr. [redacted]’s account, all outbound collection calls were attempted between the hours of 8am and 9pm Eastern Standard Time. Our records also indicate Fingerhut never attempted to contact Mr. [redacted] more than six times in a day while his account was in a delinquent status. If Mr. Reeder has further questions, he may contact our Billing Department at ###-###-####.

Ms. [redacted],
I am writing in response to the inquiry we received from your office on behalf of Ms. [redacted] regarding a WebBank/Fingerhut Advantage Credit Account.
Our records indicate on July 23, 2015 Ms. [redacted] purchased a Clean Spin Mop with Press Handle with a 1 Year Service Plan. On November 13, 2015 Ms. [redacted] requested the warranty information for the mop. On November 18, 2015 Ms. [redacted] informed us the product was broken. While customer satisfaction is very important to us, we do require returns to be made in accordance with our Return Policy, which states:
"We will grant exchange or issue a credit for full cash price within 30 days of receipt. After 180 days, we will no longer grant an exchange or issue a refund. Shipping and handling charges are non refundable. Computers, camcorders, video games, and generators: Fingerhut offers returns and exchanges through the 30-day home trial period for the full cash price. After that time we can no longer grant exchanges or accept returns. Other product concerns must be handled under the manufacturers' warranty. Software and music CD's: May be returned for credit or refund only if in the original unopened packaging with the factory seal intact. Exchanges are permitted for the identical product only."
As stated above when Ms. [redacted] purchased the mop she also purchased a 1 Year Service Plan which begins on July 26, 2016. This Service Plan is though NEW (National Extended Warranty), she may contact them at [redacted]. Her warranty contract number is [redacted].
For all concerns with the product we recommend Ms. [redacted] contact the products manufacturer, Viatek Products, at [redacted].

I contacted manufacturer already and had to leave a message n no response. the extended service plan company said they do not cover mops and I was sold a extended service plan errounsley. I placed the gentleman name in the original report.
I should ask finger hut for a refund on the extended warrant.
at this point I just want my mop exchanged with fingerhut. my 6.99 credited back.
If this can't get fixed I will take further and I would choose not to do business with them anymore

Mr. [redacted]’s inquiry states that after purchasing a Fitbit Flex he was unable to activate it through Fitbit since Fingerhut is not an authorized seller of Fitbit products. Mr. [redacted] also requests credit for the original shipping and handling charges and the return shipping fee, for his Fingerhut account to be closed and to no longer have a balance owing with Fingerhut. Our records indicate Mr. [redacted] placed an order on April 28, 2016 on our website for a Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity and Sleep Wristband. The total including shipping and handling was $154.72. On May 6, 2016 Mr. [redacted] contacted us via chat and advised us he would be returning the item as he was advised it is counterfeit. Please understand, like many retailers, we buy some of our new, factory fresh products from authorized distributors instead of direct from the manufacturer. As a result, we handle the warranty and service needs directly for our customers. On May 17, 2016 we received the return of the Fitbit and credit was issued to Mr. [redacted]’s account in the amount of $131.78. Our return policy is listed on our website and in our catalogs and is as follows: We will exchange your product or give you a refund for most items returned in new condition within 30 days after date of purchase. Returns will not be accepted for credit after 90 days. If you have any problems with a product, please check the manufacturer’s warranty. Fingerhut provides a convenient prepaid return label service for most products. You can visit our Returns Center in the My Account area of the website to print a new return label at Fingerhut.com or contact Customer Service. Pre-paid return labels are not available for truck-ship items, oversized items, or Fingerhut FreshStart accounts. Contact Customer Service for help with your return. There is no upfront fee when using the return label. There is no fee for using the return label if you received a damaged of defective product or in the case of a shipping error. The final determination of product condition is subject to our inspection. Return fees not covered by Fingerhut will be deducted from your credit based on the weight of the package. The original shipping and handling is nonrefundable if your item is not damaged or defective or in the case of a shipping error. The reason Mr. [redacted] selected on the return reason form was “Not as described/pictured,” which we consider a non-qualifying reason. Therefore, the original shipping and handling of $14.99 and the return shipping fee of $7.95 was not credited. On May 31, 2016, Mr. [redacted] contacted us by phone and the agent issued credit for the original shipping and handling and the return shipping fee. The credit appears on Mr. [redacted]’s June 1, 2016 billing statement. A late fee of $14.99 was assessed to Mr. [redacted]’s account prior to the credit being issued for the shipping and handling fees. We have issued credit for the late fee. This credit will appear on Mr. [redacted]’s July 1, 2016 billing statement. There is no remaining balance on his account as of the date of this letter. Additionally, Mr. [redacted]’s account was closed per his request on May 6, 2016.Thank you for allowing us to explain. Sincerely, Vi [redacted] Executive Care Team VF/bw

Re: [redacted]
Case #: [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted],
I am writing in response to...
an inquiry received from your office on behalf of Ms. [redacted] regarding her WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account.
Ms. [redacted] states she made a payment for $22.10 in November 2015 that brought her account balance to zero. Ms. [redacted] also states Fingerhut continued to charge her interest, late fees and account protection fees on an account with a zero balance. Ms. [redacted] maintains Fingerhut did not contact her about the balance due until February 2016, and as a result her credit is damaged. Ms. [redacted] is requesting to have her credit report updated to current because her bill was paid in full in November 2015.
According to our records, when Ms. [redacted]'s statement printed on November 6, 2015, the balance on her account was $52.10 On November 20, 2015, a payment was received for her December 2, 2016 bill in the amount of $22.10.This left a balance of $30.00.
When Ms. [redacted]'s statement printed on December 6, 2016, Safeline fees and interest charges were calculated based on the balance of $30.00. Ms. [redacted] was charged the minimum interest of $1.00 and .37 for Safeline account protection. These charges brought her balance to $31.37.
No payment was received by the next due date of January 2, 2016, so a late fee of $6.99 was charged to Ms. [redacted]'s account.
When her statement printed on January 6, 2016, Safeline protection fee and interest were charged based on the balance $38.36. In February 2016, Ms. [redacted]'s account was charged a late fee of $13.98 plus Safeline fees and interest charges bringing her balance to $55.46.
Ms. [redacted]'s payment of $34.49 received on February 26, 2016 brought the account balance to $20.97. The two late fees totaling $20.97 were credited as a courtesy on March 2, 2016. Although already applied to the account, the credits will reflect on her next monthly statement which will be generated on March 6, 2016.
An account review on March 4, 2016 confirmed that Ms. [redacted]'s account is open with a zero balance.
According to our records, Fingerhut began attempts to reach Ms. [redacted] by phone on January 3, 2016. These calls continued until February 26, 2016 when the account was brought current.
Ms. [redacted] spoke with an agent on January 20, 2016, but according to our records, Ms. [redacted] said she was at work and ended the call.
Fingerhut received an email from Ms. [redacted] on January 14, 2016 in which she states that she had paid off her bill. We responded to the email on January 15, 2016 requesting Ms. [redacted] to contact Customer Service regarding her billing questions.
An account review on March 2, 2016, confirmed that Equifax, Experian and Trans Union are reporting accurately.
We cannot revise the information we are reporting to the credit bureaus as we are required by law to furnish accurate reporting. Please reference the Reporting and Monitoring section of our terms and conditions that was included in Ms. [redacted]'s Welcome Packet. It states:
"If you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation, a negative report reflecting on your credit records can be submitted to one or more credit reporting agencies."
Conversely, accounts that are in good standing will be reported as well.
If Ms. [redacted] still has questions about her account regarding what has or has not been reported to the credit bureaus, please contact us at the address listed above or by calling us toll-free at [redacted], Monday through Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm Central Standard Time.
Thank you for the opportunity to explain.
Sincerely,

Re: Case # [redacted] - [redacted]
Dear Ms. [redacted],
I am writing in response to the inquiry we received from...
your office on behalf of Mrs. [redacted] regarding a WebBank/Fingerhut Advantage Credit Account.
Ms. [redacted]'s account indicates she spoke with a representative on March 14, 2016 at which time an agreement to send a replacement was reached with Ms. [redacted]. The Chef's Mark .7 cu. ft. 700-Watt Microwave Oven was purchased on April 10, 2015 and came with a one year limited warranty. The extended warranty doesn't start until the limited warranty has expired. The terms and conditions would have been explained in the information she would have received shortly after placing the order.
Our records indicate that a replacement of the Chef's Mark .7 cu. ft. 700-Watt Microwave Oven shipped to her on March 14, 2016 with an expected delivery date of March 23, 2016. A postage paid label was also sent to her on March 14, 2016.
Total customer satisfaction is a goal we strive daily to achieve. We will make note that Ms. [redacted] did not receive a call back from a supervisor within the 48 hour time frame and we appreciate her bringing this to our attention.
Thank you for allowing us to explain.

Our records indicate an account was opened using Mr. [redacted]’s personal information via phone with a customer service representative on January 7, 2013. On that same date, an order was placed Adidas Men’s Isolation Mid Basketball Shoe (Black-Silver, 10).This item was to be shipped (tracking number [redacted]) to [redacted] Sewickley, PA 15143. When a package is picked up from a UPS facility, UPS is required to ask for a photo ID such as driver’s license or state-issued license. Unauthorized account registration and activity is a serious matter, and we have certain procedures in place to assist those making this claim. As Mr. [redacted] denies authorizing the account matching his personally identifiable information, we referred this matter to our Credit Risk Department for further review. They advised of already being aware of the fraudulent activity claim for this account. An affidavit of unordered merchandise completed by Mr. [redacted] was received. However, there was no police report with the affidavit and a letter of denial was mailed to Mr. [redacted]. This letter explained a police report would also be required. To date we have not received the requested police report. As we understand the urgency of the situation, Mr. [redacted] may expedite this process by faxing the required police report to ###-###-#### Attn: Jessica or mail the document to [redacted] Cloud, MN 56303. If Mr. [redacted] is unable to provide a police report, he may supply the name of the agency, officer’s name, badge number, and the case number. Once received, we will be able to further investigate his claim.

I am rejecting this response because:
It seems to me that you are more focus on saying that I should not have filed this on my bankruptcy. I filed everything that was on my bankruptcy and the judge excepted everything. I filed in 2012 but it was not process until after I applied for services with Finger hut. All of this should not matter because it was paid in full and you have been reporting me negative since 2013. Finger Hut has been reporting negative on my credit report since 2013 - 2018 and I have been requesting you to update the status of not paid to paid since my bankruptcy and you have not. I have documents that you were included in my bankruptcy. I also provided documentation that you transferred the account to [redacted], LLC and they reported negative on my account. I am not suppose to have two creditors for the same bill on my credit report for the same item. The Law states that for the credit bureau. I am asking you to get off my credit report because through my bankruptcy [redacted] and Finger Hut WebBank have been reporting on their with [redacted] and that is illegal. WebBank/Finger Hut transferred/sold the account to [redacted], LLC their for you can no longer report on my credit report it is the law. I spoke with my lawyer and they are taking action against this. I read the law and I understood everything. You have been reporting me negative since 2013 I filed my bankruptcy 2012 but did not go forward until sometime in 2013. Your company WebBank/Finger Hut and [redacted], LLC were both on my bankruptcy and you both reported negative. I paid [redacted] and they remove themselves off my credit report as paid in full. You kept reporting negative as I asked for the last 5 years to update it to positive paid in full and Fingerhut has refused to update my report. I received a letter from Fingerhut and I am attaching it. I did nothing wrong I paid my debt to [redacted] and finger hut has been reporting negative on me for 5 years. I asked that you remove yourself off my credit report because you made the mistake of not reporting paid on my credit report. I am doing everything right after I filed my bankruptcy and your company has not been fair. I paid finger hut the money that I was suppose to pay and you never updated my credit report. WebBank/Finger Hut sold this account why are you reporting negative on my credit report for the last 5 years.

Ms. [redacted] states she purchased a TV and vacuum on December 1, 2016. She set up biweekly payments in the amount of $54.19. She received an e-mail on December 8, 2016 that stated the order for the vacuum was cancelled due to the item being out of stock. She states she contacted PayCheck Direct and was told the same payment of $54.19 would be withdrawn although the vacuum was cancelled. Ms. [redacted] stresses the item is shown to be in stock on PayCheck Direct’s website. She also states she contacted PayCheck Direct and was told the vacuum would be shipped that day, however online the tracking number was shown the item to have already been shipped. Ms. [redacted] is unsatisfied with the response she received from Customer Service representatives. Our records indicate Ms. [redacted] placed an order for a Shark Rocket DeluxePro UltraLite 4.2-Amp Vacuum with Hand Vac and a Samsung 55" UHD 4K HDR LED Smart TV on December 1, 2016. On December 9, 2016 a letter was mailed to Ms. [redacted] stating the order for the TV was cancelled due to the item being out of stock at the time of purchase. The TV is currently back in stock if she would like to repurchase this item. Unfortunately we are not able to change or adjust the payment amount after an order is placed and shipped. We are required to maintain the payment agreement set up at the time the order was placed. Our agents are accountable to meet professional standards and avoid any instance that might cause our customers to feel they are not being heard or understood.
