Finger hut is meant to scam people with low credit scores into paying 3-4 times as much as the product is worth. If anyone is regularly shopping from fingerhut they need an intervention
Finger Hut is just mail order Rent A Center. Hey need a laptop? You could buy a basic decent laptop from say Best Buy for like $550 of pay like $45 a month for like two years.
Sounds like fingerhut got a judgement against those people like any creditor eventually would to be able to do the same. I don't think there was anything that company could do to prevent it.
Nah shitty jobs offer it as part of the EAP. Like “We don’t pay you nearly enough to live. But at least if you can make Christmas happen for your kids. Then be bound to us for a 18 month payment plan. You might last longer than 6 months here.”
Not really enough information here, but if all the bills are paid and she's working a second job to buy herself stuff, I'm not sure that this intervention is warranted is it?
Depends on how working that second job is affecting her and the people around her -- like when she does a full Biden zone-out when addressed, as one example.
I've known people that have 2 jobs and constantly complain about it or act as if their life circumstances force them to do so. In reality, they could just have one job and a lot more free time if they just stopped buying random garbage on Amazon and ordering door dash.
I'm sorry, if you're not able to spend time with your family/parent your children because you need to work 60-80 hours a week so you can buy shit from Finger hut, than an intervention is in order.
Right. I didn't know they still existed. My mom used to always rage-read the catalogs just to loudly complain about how expensive they were. She never bought anything. I think she just looked forward to complaining lol
Sure!
- The excessive list of item they sale for cheap and the way they go about it means they're definitely violating labour rights, use a sweat shops, and ignore safety and health codes.
- it's not accredited by the Better Business Bureau (a u.s. based nonprofit that lets consumers know if a business is ethical and vetted)
- They're are collecting you data to sale to whoever gives them the most money; grabbing your name, credit card info, you IP address, phone #, etc.
- The company is also Chinese-owned which tells everything you'll need to know.
- Because it's quick and cheap, it's taking the consumers right out from under legit businesses.
- And because of its fast fashion, I can guarantee that the materials used to make it are cheap and a good chance dangerous and bad for the ecosystem and our current way of life.
- And since it's based in China they most likely stole those product ideas from small/up and coming people who are trying to get their product/brand out there.
- Touching back on a previous point. It's politics. The reason why they're giving away items at such steep discounts or free is because China is always trying to run out the local businesses. Which in turn means less money is being circulated in our economy since that money would be now going straight into China's coffers which they used to buy up land/business in other countries to shore up their power and give them more (e.g. other countries politics).
Nah I'm a fed ex guy and this is definitely real I go to houses that order like 5 days out of the week and it's also Amazon UPS USPS I think they get a rush out of unboxing things and it also makes retail therapy much easier, and at least ten of my regular customers are hoarders.
Man I had never heard of finger hut until the 90s. I got a gig as a Christmas helper for UPS in DC area. My area was Palmer park Maryland. We had soooooo much finger hut shit and this was from paper catalogues and mail in orders.
It’s wild to see they are still operating.
Correct me if I’m wrong but is finger hut the dollar store Amazon BEFORE Amazon?
Retail credit is so, so scary, man. And it's getting more and more common. We've outlawed payday loans in a bunch of places but these new apps and stuff are getting people BAD
When the mom says, “first of all, finger hut is wack as hell.”
This reminds me of when Whitney said
“Crack is wack” lmao
But at the same time girl you was doing something white so it’s the same thing🤣

I’ve never heard of it before clicking on this. But she says it’s wack as hell and I believe it
I grew up poor so sadly I'm familiar with it. Jokes on them though cause my mom just stopped paying eventually and filed bankruptcy.

This reminds me when Whitney did that interview saying I don’t do crack. Crack is Whack. P.S. she was doing crack.
I used to work somewhere that would debit finger hut purchases from our paychecks

Yep, we would get emails around July to purchase Christmas presents in 24easy payments debited right out of your paycheck

We all know what that pause was and it wasn't zoning out

Yeah, depends what the inside of the house looks like
They're joking

if she's working a second job and listing time with her family and friends for useless shit, yes it's absolutely warranted
her being able to retire, her finding a hobby that is more enriching.
FingerHut. That’s something I haven’t heard in a while.
Right. I didn't know they still existed. My mom used to always rage-read the catalogs just to loudly complain about how expensive they were. She never bought anything. I think she just looked forward to complaining lol
Lol, I came here to say FingerHut is still around?!? What decade is it?
Mannnnn QVC had my aunt in chokehold she was buying Dooney and Burke purses to the point that she maxed out two/ three credit cards.
not Dooney and Burke 💀
*"it's a durable handbag!"* -my ma
My wife’s boyfriend (Jeff B.) been getting too much of my dang money.
Those purses were THE SHIT in the 90s…
Temu I very much dislike it and have made others very aware of it and how bad it is.
I have an aunt that shops on Temu. I don’t know much about it. Would you be willing to expand on what makes it bad? Thanks.

She drunk as hell lol
Slurring and sitting next to a rack of airplane bottles. Maybe shopping isn’t her biggest issue.

PSA. Nobody should be buying anything off fingerhut regularly 😭
It’s giving real Whitney Houston vibes… and Whitney meant that shit. I believe her too. Fingerhut is fucking wack. Amazon might be legitimate tho.
Let that woman live!
It’s like Whitney swearing she isn’t using substances.
What is fingerhut? Kinda scared to google it
She hit them with the “crack is whack” line 😅
A new package every week? That's barely shopping, not an addiction
Man I had never heard of finger hut until the 90s. I got a gig as a Christmas helper for UPS in DC area. My area was Palmer park Maryland. We had soooooo much finger hut shit and this was from paper catalogues and mail in orders. It’s wild to see they are still operating.

"You have a new package from Amazon or finger hut once a week" ... my mom got a packing coming on the daily...
Also why record someone's intervention
Retail credit is so, so scary, man. And it's getting more and more common. We've outlawed payday loans in a bunch of places but these new apps and stuff are getting people BAD
Weak
Fingerhut still exists?? Oh no ma'am. No ma'am!
Never heard of the finger hut
Fingerhut is such a scam though
One package a week? Ouch.
When the mom says, “first of all, finger hut is wack as hell.” This reminds me of when Whitney said “Crack is wack” lmao But at the same time girl you was doing something white so it’s the same thing🤣
