accounts, you better check the status. I got a statement today that showed my available credit as 0. I called and asked why and was told that since the Federated announcement last month of the disposing of fingerhut, they are not allowing any charges on accounts that don't carry a balance. I said so you closed my account? Answer, no sir, until we know what is happening with fingerhut, you have no available credit, but your account is not closed. I tried to get her to explain the difference, which she couldn't. At that point I said, good, if my acct. is not closed, please close it and report it as closed by consumer and send me a letter stating that. What a friggin joke.
I applied for a Fingerhut card a few months ago but never activated it and eventually just cut it up and trashed it. It's not reporting on any credit reports. They had given me a lousy $150 LOC so I figured they were in some kind of financial trouble and that the company was a joke. I'm glad I didn't open that can of worms! Calmest_LA
