anyone else get f-ed by circuit city? update! i won =D

just shat my pants a few hours ago

long story short, bought a laptop for 600 bux (super cheap down from 1000) and the salesman told me the deal was 18 months interest free even though they were going out of business

turns out that it wasnt 18 months! it was only till may 11th, and i was just charged 68$ interest for last month (22.49% APR up from 0 with a credit score of over 700),

prolli should of read the fine print :spank:

payin off the rest of the balance this week (600$) to avoid next months charges UGH, also filed a complaint with the BBB against chase bank even though its my bad

hahahaha

it says EXACTLY what NI promotion was on your reciept… mayeb you should check that

yeah i just got it outta my reciept box, doesnt even say anything about it on there :banghead: lesson learned

its on tthere if you have any NI promotion at all

it will say CM no i for 18 months etc etc…

I needed an amp real quick, bought it a year before the trouble began. It shitted out on me a week after they closed. Fucking perfect.

Manufacturer warrNty?

so it broke after a year + of working fine? you would be effed even if they were open.

that’s why I could never work at a retail store like that. “hi I don’t read anything and your part time employeee told me 18 months no interest. but what I’m trying to say is he could have told me 15 yrs no interest but I’m too lazy to read fine print when I’m signing up for a CREDIT CARD so I didn’t make a single payment and now I’m charged $68. circuit city totally fucked me”

i have customers try this bullshit with me all the time about so and so employee told me I could do 2 coats of stain on my deck. oh really? did you miss the part that it says 3 times on the can, one coat transparent deck coating? gtfo.

Not knocking you, but Circuit city is one of the last places I would ever take credit out to buy something there…

Those store credit cards are just too subprime, and they figure out ways to fuck you.

Its called Karma.
Maybe you slapped a sticker on a car that crashed into his mailbox

I bought my TV there a few years back, there was 12 months same as cash on it, and I had no issues with it at all. It was just as it sounded, I paid for it month 10 or something, but all along it had all the details right on the statements. :gotme:

X…

there aint enough mailboxes in buffalo for all the stickers ive slapped on

i thought it was zero interest as long as you made the minimal payment monthly and presuming you paid it off before the 18 months was over, if you went into month 19 then you would be hit with all the interest even if you were making minimal payments

filing a complaint with the BBB is a joke. It does nothing. I’m surprised chase didnt do anything for you. They’ve always been decent to me. I got screwed by citizens and AMX through this “economic crisis”.

haha. classic.

Pauly 1 you 0

I lol’d at that more…

NYS FAIL

O well at least it was just 68 bones and nothing more.

Cant wait for the credit card bill or rights to be finished. Shitty situation.

Forgot to mention I had the 18 month warranty on the thing from CC because I planned on it breaking.

filed a complaint with the BBB because you were not smart enough to read the fine print? :picard:

accountability :tup:

i just got a letter from the BBB, and a check for 68$ for the guy lying to me about the no interest promotion, yAY!
