Reading your Fingerhut Statement
Your monthly Fingerhut statement provides you with lots of helpful information about your account. It’s a good idea to review your statement as soon as it arrives. Be sure to check the Minimum Payment Due and the Mail Payment By date. You need to know these to keep your account in good standing.

1. Important Messages
In this area you’ll find brief notes from Fingerhut alerting you to offers, credit tips and other important information.

2. Your Account Activity Summary
Your previous balance, payments and credits, new purchases, interest charges and fees are here, along with your new balance.

3. Credit Limit
The maximum amount you can charge to your account.

4. Available Credit
The amount of unused credit that is available to you. Your credit available amount is your balance subtracted from your credit limit.

5. Past Due Amount
The amount you owe that is past due. Most often this means you have missed a payment or have not paid the minimum amount due.

6. Interest Charge Calculation
Lists any interest charges and all applicable rates for both non-deferred and deferred purchases in one spot.

7. New Balance
The total amount you owe. This includes any unpaid balances from previous months, new purchases, late fees and interest charges.

8. Minimum Due
The minimum amount you must pay each month. If you pay more than the minimum, you will pay off your balance more quickly with less interest charges.

9. Mail Payment By
Generally, if you mail your payment by this date we will receive your payment in time for you to avoid late fees.

10. Payment Due Date
The day your payment is due at Fingerhut. If your payment is received after this date, a late fee can be charged. If you’re running late, you can always pay your bill online to prevent late fees!

11. Late Payment Warning
A reminder about the late fee you may be charged if your payment is not received by the Payment Due Date.

12. Minimum Payment Warning
This is the length of time to pay off your current balance if you only make the required minimum payments by the payment due date. It’s to your benefit to pay more than the minimum amount due each month. However, by paying your New Balance in full, you will avoid paying any additional interest charges.
