Blockbuster Late fees and more fees

Posted by admin on March 16, 2009 under Uncategorized | Be the First to Comment

Blockbuster is at it again! Even after a class action suit that demanded Blockbuster pay out millions (in their favorites coupons) to anyone that had rented movies from them from like 1992 to 2002, they are at it again. Sneaking changes and surprising you with “oh, you owe this, that or the other while returning a movie”.

HeadsUpISpy received report of a rental with a specific set of rules on return date. As every good customer, didn’t read the terms, and assumed the terms had stayed the same. No surprise here, it didn’t. The real fun part however was that at the time of return, not only were the old rules the customer thought no longer valid, the actual terms that were on the receipt for this transaction had already changed also! Can anyone say revolving door!? They change their terms faster than you can rent, watch and return a movie!

Making up the rules as they go, a child’s game. No wonder they are getting so creative, must be loosing customers faster than you can spell the name!

I Spy another Blockbuster Class Action Suit in the making!

 

Heads Up for other options in renting movies and avoiding the child games Blockbuster is playing. Write these down:  Redbox ( $1/24hrs available in supermarkets and your local wally store) and Netflix (way cheaper than Blockbuster!)

 

Looked at your Credit Card bill lately?

HeadsUpISpy received a report on how they had been paying off their monthly balance within their grace period, for several months, and on time. When the credit card bill came this last month, guess what was on it, finance charges! Upon calling the credit card company they “apologized” and immediately took care of it.

Say what? Exactly. Finance Charges are only supposed to be charged if you carried balance over from the previous month, otherwise no finance charges should be charged.

I SPY credit card companies trying to make some money on your back! Hard times for them too?

So HEADS UP! Check your credit card bills, line by line, e v e r y month!
