I have never ordered from Finger Hut, nor received any items from Fingerhut.

This ISland National Group claims that I have owed this debt since 1999 (which I knew nothing about) and now has readded it to my credit report as of 2006 rendering the potentially negative effect for another 7 years.

This is bogus. How can Fingerhut and Island National Group, LLC continue to get away w/these bullying tactics?

If I owed the debt, I would pay it. I do not.

I found out about the debt because I have recently joined a credit mnonitoring group and found this absurd information on it!!

I diputed the Finger Hut and the Island National. Fingerhut has come clean and deleted the report, but Island National only entered a "reviewed" result. Basically used my report as ammunition to continue this falsification.

Has anyone had any luck sending a copy to the Attorney Generaland the Better Business Bureau?

I personally had nothing but a good experience with this company. I had an old Fingerhut account that I never paid. They offered to settle the debt for 50% and had the account updated as paid in full on my credit report. They were very polite and helpful in getting my credit back in order.

Fingerhut/Axsys sold accounts to MANY different bottom-feeders. I had Midland Credit Management resubmit a 1999 debt from Fingerhut as being a new debt in June of 2005---not only that, but they reported it twice on my credit report. Best of all, I contacted my state attorney general and was told they have no control over collection agencies and credit report inaccuracies, so I appear to be screwed unless the bureaus see that this is a blatant error and remove it. My advice first of all is to report and dispute it with the credit bureaus. After that? Well, I am still trying to figure it out. Good luck!!!
