Why is fingerhut so expensive?
they sell crap on credit to poor people who could not otherwise get the credit. therefore, fingerhut can charge an exorbitant price. rich people can negotiate their own favorable prices and terms.
Can you really build credit with a fingerhut account?
You can. What you need to do is not charge any more than you can pay off when the bill comes. When you charge "just a little bit more, and I'll pay it off over 2 or 3 payments", it becomes too convenient to snow-ball those purchases into a much larger bill, and then you will get charged a lot for interest. Some cards now charge over 30% APR! Make it a rule to pay whatever you bought when your check comes in - be sure to budget for that, and you'll be okay. You might be wiser to open a prepaid account initially. Those too will build your credit, and they won't let you go into debt.
What can you do if you bought something online and never receive it and the seller doesn't respond to you?
Check your credit card statement.If you were charged for the item, dispute the charge with the credit card company.That will get the attention of the unresponsive seller.

Does Fingerhut ship to PO (post office) boxes?

I applied for a secure credit card sometime last year so that I can start rebuilding my credit. So far I have paid on time every month and more than the amount due. Recently applied for a finger hut credit and got approved for 600, does this mean I will be approved for another credit card visa/master card? My credit score is 520. I got a pre approval letter from capital one, but not sure if I should try and apply.
Have you ever accidentally bought something from an auction?
The short answer is yes. I have bid on one thing when the auctioneer was selling something else. This happened because the auctioneer was using two runners to run things to successful bidders. I was bidding on a picture and the auctioneer was selling an entirely different picture. It was my fault so I went ahead with the purchase. So yes it can happen. If it happens you, just speak up and the auctioneer can resell the item.
