Blue Hippo All Of You Should Know Better Jacksonville Florida

Let me say that I hate Blue Hippo and companies like it. These are the real ripoff companies that make it difficult for people to get on top of their financial situation. Look at these prices, $2,100 or more for a $600 computer?!

You have to pay for six to thirteen weeks before you even get the computer?!

Only about a third of their orders have been shipped?!

This company is the very definition of financial exploitation or... a ripoff.

Run the numbers- By the time you've made the required number of payments, you've almost paid the equivalent value for the computer anyways. Everything else you pay for the rest of that year is just interest.

My advice- go on eBay. There are a number of reputable sellers who refurbish PCs and install an operating system on them. It won't be a new computer, but it will be decent enough to get by. I once bought an HP desktop with a 2.66Ghz processor and Windows XP Pro for less than $150. Get a monitor on Craigslist, a yard sale or at a thrift shop.

Take those weekly payments that you would have given to Blue Hippo and stick it in savings until you have enough to get the computer that you really want. It will be far cheaper in the long run.

The fact of the matter is this report did not help anyone, as this comment may not either. But a lot of people due perform their own due diligence and check these company's out. If a company is crooked and out to get money they will stop at anything! So why call people stupid? If the resources such as BBB were used and someone still gets ripped off,who's fault is it? So go back into that cave where everything is perfect and nothing can happen to you. With that attitude it will!

YES, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, JUDGEMENT, AND BEING INFORMED AND RESEARCHING THE COMPANY --I AM GUILTY! BUT I AM NOT RETARDED NOR NOT STUPID FOR FALLING FOR THIS SCAM. BLUE HIPPO HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE AND THAT'S NOT FAIR. FOR SOMEONE TO LEAVE A RESPONSE LIKE YOURS HAVE NO BALLS OR SENSITIVITY TO ALL OF THE BLUE HIPPO CONSUMERS THAT WERE TAKEN FOR THEIR MONEY. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN OUR SHOES, DON'T LEAVE MESSAGES BASED ON WHAT YOU WOULD DO OR MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE ARE INCOMPETENT PEOPLE-- BEING MARRIED FOR 17-YEARS DOESN'T HAVE A d**n THING TO DO WITH THE BLUE HIPPO COMPLAINTS--AND FOR YOU TO SAY THAT YOU WOULD DIVORCE HER IF SHE HAD MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT BLUE HIPPO TELLS ME THAT YOU ARE A JACK a*s! JUST LET THE BLUE HIPPO CONSUMER BE!!!

If you are really in need of a computer, really avoid services specializing in poor credit (Aarons/RentAcenter/Blue Hippo) and try to see what you can get from companies like Dell Financing, A Small Local Bank, and if you desperately need a computer (I don't recommend this) see if you can get a credit card with an introductory interest free period.
