Fingerhut Fresh Start

I recently made my 4th and final payment to my Fingerhut account. My statement cut on the 1st and EX reported the installment loan was paid off and I lost 3 points. This morning I received an alert from EX that the account is paid off and closed. What happens now? Just another closed account on my reports? When I log into my Fingerhut account it still says Fresh Start and my credit limit of $230.00.

You should receive an email or snail mail letter from Fingerhut within a week or two congratulating you on completing the Freshstart program and informing you of your new "revolving" account information.  Normally, a cli accompanies this transition.  YMMV.  Fingerhut likes usage, doesn't have to be large purchases, and usually will be consistent with cli's.  I would suggest waiting for "free shipping" promos to avoid paying excessive costs for already overpriced items.  Congrats on your graduation!
