Blue Hippo I paid for 17 inch flat screen monitor for my computer on 11-06-09 i've already had the money in their account $405.00 so i used part of it to purchase the monitor i sent them a money for $29.00 dol Baltimore, Maryland

They changed the type of their bankruptcy to admit they basically have no money. Refunds will not be coming and there's really nothing anyone can do about it. Don't expect to receive a monitor either.

The basic idea is that they made and wasted plenty of money (probably stuffing their own pockets) by getting naive people to send money weekly for computers they could have picked up for $250 at any Target, Walmart or local discount retailer. They most likely planned to go out of business at some point as the whole idea of what they were selling is absolutely stupid.

The only thing to can do is actually read the terms of something before you buy it. (You WERE informed up front you'd have to pay the entire amount before receiving anything.) Perhaps also being sure you can look up the price and model number of anything you are buying by mail so you know what you are paying matches what it's worth.

Personally, I'll miss the blue hippo commercials as they were great for a laugh. I mean, just the thought of that ridiculous payment system with 2 screens of legal disclaimer scrolling down my tv.
