Blue Hippo Funding ripoff 600.00 later still no computer Baltimore Maryland

I called Blue Hippo Funding on 3/07/2006, which time they took my information and stated that they would be drafting my account in the amount of $99 begining on 3/16/2006. They stated to me that I would receive the address verification within 3-5 business days and If I like, I could go ahead and make 5 payments which total 219.90 and my computer would be shipped within weeks. I made the first payment in the amount of 219.90 on 3/20/2006. I didnot receive any paper work from them until 4/12/2006, in which I signed and faxed right back to them. Before they actually sent the paperwork I was calling at least every other day about them sending the shipment verification forms, and they would tell me they were having trouble and to call back in about 10 days. Since then I have made a total of 9 payments totaling 602.78..Still no computer! Even from the beginning I knew that I would be paying way over the amount asked for this computer but I was attracted to the information they told me about reporting to all three credit bureaus as well as the the offer for the 900.00 rebate and the free 20 inch plasma tv. After a few weeks of calling customer service and them brushing me off I went to the internet and did a search. That's how I found you guys. On today I called and told them that I wanted to cancel my order. At frist the girl was really nice and told me how they really wanted my business, but when I didnot agree to continue to make the payments she got an attitude, and told me that even If I cancelled, a collection agency will still try to collect the remaining balance. By that time I was really upset and I told her that I didnot want the computer, nor did I want them to take anymore money out of my account. So I will just have to see what will happen from this point forward. I trully wish I had done more research before making such a foolish decision. If anyone know of anything that can be done please let me know... Also the number to the home office is 410-277-9800, they suppose to be the people that actually does the financing..
