Complaint Review: Blue Hippo Funding

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
- Martin Luther King

I contacted Blue Hippo Funding in December 2004 regarding a laptop. I provided them with personal information I was told was required in order to process my application and in order to receive my contract, which was to be mailed to be within a week.

I never received the contract.

Instead, money was withdrawn from my checking account and it was done so illegally because I never received my contract. Again, I had been informed that I would receive the contract within a matter of days; I was to sign it and return it; then and only after I had returned the signed contract would my account be charged.

Three weeks later I still had not received a contract. What I did receive was an unpleasant surprise in that money was withdrawn from my account.

I immediately closed my account for fear of more money being taken. I called the company the same day I closed my accounts and for nearly 30 minutes I was either on hold or transferred repeatedly from person to person, from department to department. The representatives acted as if they had no record of me in their databases.

I dismissed the situation as a costly lesson learned.

I never heard anything else from BlueHippo Funding ... that is, until a year later, December 2005, when a local attorney's office contacted me. Apparently, according to BlueHippo, I owe them nearly $2200 for a product I never received.

BlueHippo is not only guilty of misleading or lying to the public about their services, but they are 100% criminal in their business transactions and so are their attorneys who are in on the scam.
