Summary Disclosures Only: This document contains important disclosures about the WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account ("Revolving Credit Account"), but it is not your complete Credit Account Agreement. Your Credit Account Agreement will be sent to you and is also available online. Please read these Disclosures and that Agreement carefully, and keep them for your records. The Credit Account Agreement will explain how the Agreement may be changed, and that WebBank may sell, assign or transfer your account or any portion thereof.
If you do not qualify for a WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account, your application will be processed for a WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan that may allow you to finance your first purchase of more than $50. The terms of a WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan are different from the terms of the WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account, and the advertised prices per month do not apply to purchases financed with a WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan. You may be eligible for a revolving WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account if you make complete and timely payments on your WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan. See important disclosures about the WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan in section titled "Summary of the WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan Terms," including sample payment terms, down payment requirements, and information about interest rates and fees.
Advertised Price per Month: The advertised price per month online or in the catalog is the estimated initial monthly minimum payment required for a single item order on a WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account. Your actual minimum payment will be calculated using the payment chart contained in the WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account Agreement, or on the Blue Page in the catalog or on the website, based on your Account balance.
How We Figure Interest Charges: To calculate the Interest Charge for each monthly statement we multiply the average daily balance times the monthly periodic rate. Your monthly periodic rate may vary each billing cycle. If the total periodic Interest Charges for a month are less than $1.00 then we charge a minimum periodic Interest Charge of $1.00 which we will apply to the applicable balance (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
Average Daily Balance: We figure the interest charge on your Account by applying the monthly periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of your Account, including current transactions. To get the "average daily balance," we take the beginning balance of your Account each day, add any new purchases, charges and other fees, and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances for that billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance."
Non-Variable APR. Your Annual Percentage Rate is 35.99%, which corresponds to a monthly periodic rate of 3.000%. This is a non-variable rate. The finance charges that are assessed, including the monthly periodic rate, will be in amounts or at rates that do not exceed those permitted by law. The amount of periodic interest charges and APRs are subject to change. See below under the heading "Change of Terms (including Interest Charges)."
When Interest Charges Begin to Accrue: Interest charges begin to accrue on each purchase on the date of the purchase. However, if you paid the new balance on your previous Statement by the payment due date shown on the Statement, then: (1) if you pay the new balance on your current Statement by the payment due date shown, we impose no interest charges on purchases during the current billing cycle, and (2) if you make a payment by the payment due date shown on your current Statement that is less than the new balance, we will credit that payment as of the first day in your current billing cycle. In addition, if your Statement reflected a new balance and you did not pay that new balance in full by the payment date on that previous Statement, then we will not impose interest charges on any purchases during the current billing cycle if you pay the balance shown on your current Statement by the payment due date reflected on that current Statement.
Deferral Periods: WebBank may specify a period during which no payments are required for your purchase. We call these "Deferral Periods." See the Blue Page in the catalog from which you place your order or your Credit Account Agreement for the specific rules that apply to your Deferral Period. Alternatively, you may call 1-800-964-1975to obtain the information.
YOUR BILLING RIGHTS: KEEP THIS DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE USE This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOU FIND A MISTAKE ON YOUR STATEMENT If you think there is an error on your statement, write us at: Fingerhut Credit Account Services, PO Box 1250, Saint Cloud MN 56395-1250. In your letter, give us the following
information
- Account Information: Your name and WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account number.
- Dollar Amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
- Description of Problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the
amount in question.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR LETTER When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
- Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
- Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the statement was correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
- We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent.
- The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
- While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
- We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
- If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
- If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees.
We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe. If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us. If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
YOUR RIGHTS IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD PURCHASES If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right, all of the following must be true:
- The purchase must have been made in your home State or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
- You must have used your credit card for the purchase.
- You must have not yet fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at:
Fingerhut Credit
Account Services, PO Box 1250, Saint Cloud MN 56395-1250.
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay we may report you as delinquent.

If you pay off your initial purchase within 6 or 8 payments or earlier with no instance of late payments, we will issue a revolving WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account to you. However, if you elect to pay your entire balance due at the same time as your down payment, then this will cancel your WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan and you will not be eligible to be considered for a revolving WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account. You will not be eligible to be considered for a revolving WebBank/Fingerhut Credit Account if you make any payments past due, have any payments returned unpaid, enter a consumer credit counseling service program, file for bankruptcy, die, or if you enter any other negative credit status.

Returned Merchandise: Your ability to return any merchandise purchased is governed by Fingerhut's return policy. When you return merchandise, we subtract the return amount from your initial purchase amount; your payment amount will then remain the same, but you will pay off your WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Installment Loan earlier. However, if a return (or returns) results in a purchase amount of less than $50, you will no longer be eligible for consideration for a revolving WebBank/Fingerhut Fetti Credit Account. If a return (or returns) results in a credit balance, we will also refund your credit balance.
Protections Under the Military Lending Act: Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent (a "Covered Borrower") may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include: the costs of our optional credit protection product, SafeLine, which is not currently offered to our WebBank/Fingerhut FreshStart Credit Account customers.
