Re: Good deal or bad deal...

I'm sure there are some deals to be had on unique merchandise on Fingerhut but when you compare something like a home entertainment system you will be paying anywhere from 20-30% more than if you went to Amazon.

 

And this Horizon crap is worse than FH. OP is looking at paying over $375 in fees alone for the first year and that's if you don't buy any of the crap they sell. You don't need credit this bad. You can open two First Premier CC's for the price of this junk.

Re: Good deal or bad deal...

JBEACH, make a new thread asking for recommendations.  You need to give us your FICO score (buy the equifax one from here) and what your credit profile looks like (aaoa, what current lines and what they look like, any negatives, income, etc.).  You will get lots of advice on where to go.

Re: Good deal or bad deal...

CLOSE IT DOWN, Close it, you don't need those type of fees..  fee for having account, a fee for not using account and we can only guess what The APR is on it, I would guess 29% plus seem to be real bottom feeders.
