New carpeting sending me to the cleaners!!?

Two years ago I spent about $7,000 on new carpeting for my home. At that time I was given a two year interest free option which I took advantage of thinking that I would pay the balance at the end of the two year period. Well, on May 26 my two years was up and I somehow missed that date. I am now being charged back interest (at the rate of 29%) which amounts to over $3,000. I spoke today with three different people and their supervisors who all told me the same thing....basically "TOUGH LUCK". Do I have any other recourse?

That's what they count on when they put out those deals - that some % of buyers will get careless and miss the due date. YOU screwed up and missed the date. Read what you signed originally - I'm sure it detailed what would happen if you did. What recourse would you expect to have?

You must have signed a contract at the time of purchase. You are legally bound by the terms of that contract.
