Yea, just my luck, I spring for the $3000. And then there is that extra charge I could never pay. I would have bad credit, posthumously.

This thread may grow stale, but if. . . nay, _when_ I get another one, I’ll be back here to develop a course of action.

> So let’s talk Fingerhut magazines. I have never ordered from or requested their lovely catalogue. Why the hell do they think I might? We have used the mags for firestarter for years. They actually burn clean. My brother thinks they are connected to the mafia. They want everyone to owe them for 6 years for a set of cheap towels or dishes. He says you never really get them paid off if you ever buy anything.

Goodness gracious, yes, how do they continue existing? I mean dammit SkyMall went away, and Fingerhut perseveres?

As to AARP I am mildly peeved that apparently due to the similar names and ocassionally same addresses, once they got to me they have failed to go after my brother, who has made it to the target age himself.
