I'm surprised Dell is still in business! I have been experiencing my own nightmare with that company, which started over 2 years ago. It was my second purchase and will be my last. They delivered more than I bargained for, with a $1400. purchase after 24 months of payments and I paid them $900. toward the laptop... they claim I owe them $1400 plus! How's that math I asked? They said.. read the fine print, you've been paying 27% interest, and you haven't paid any of the principal. I need Dell and Dell Financial like I need a STD. What company will defend usery like that, when I had not a clue, they'd be so much fun to work with? I wouldn't recommend them to North Korea, they'd just get us into war with that country. Dell best look closely at how they treat their buying public, because payback is like a promise, in this economy.. those who use, get their due, and I hope Dell falls like a ton of bricks! Sorry, just venting.. but I'm totally feeling screwed by DELL & DELL FINANCIAL.!!!! learn from others mistakes...! Stay far from that Company!

the market is scared to have a pull back...wall street thinks everyone will dump their shares if they do...profits for most companies are down 30% to 60%...obama is trying to instill artificial confidence in this market..now he is trying to foolishly get people to buy houses and cars by scaring them with higher interest rates...( i better go buy a house now that interset rates are going up)..i say don't buy a thing...force the goverment to bring down interest rates and also it will bring down home prices further..use your head!!

Beware of the irrational doomsdayer comments from those who offer nothing but their own political dribble. The economy is improving, much to the chagrin of those who are politically motivated to hope for failure. Those who say we are headed to disaster should move to Europe or Russia now, so that the rest of us can begin planning our future without the negativity of these people who offer nothing but criticism with no intellectual basis of fact.

To "Joe", poster #2:

I do feel for your situation, but at the same time, if I had to guess it sounds like you paid the minimum due each month on the credit line or credit card issued by Dell. The minimum due on any credit card or small loan like that will just be the interest. Just to be honest, one never pays just the minimum due on such if you can afford it at all to pay off a loan. I'd of course have to see your loan and the terms, but this is what I suspect.

Having said that, 27 percent interest is pretty absurd. Have you looked into getting a credit line or even using a credit card with lower interest rates to pay off that loan? Sure, you'd still owe $1400.00, but at least it would be at a lower rate. Far from an ideal solution, but a lower rate might let you pay that off.
