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. ---

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… ---

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.
