And a growing number of retailers is offering customers a way to buy big ticket items thats generating some controversy. Kpix 5s julie watts is on the consumerwatch with a warning. Reporter it sounds like a good idea, no interest at all on your purchase provided you pay it all off within a specified period of time, usually six months or a year. Its called Deferred Interest. Its a payment plan and its offered by macys, lowes, best buy, j. C. Penney, walmart, many others. But Consumers Union warns, theres a big catch. If the consumers pays late during this deferral period or hasnt paid off the initial purchase amount, then all of that accumulated interest even on the balance that they have paid off comes back and is added on to the consumers balance. Reporter now, depending on the size of the purchase, that can amount to hundreds of dollars. And the Interest Rates are considerably higher than general Purpose Credit cards. Most customers dont realize the implications when they sign up for Deferred Interest plans and consumer advocates say if you do get trapped by one of these deals, you will pay for it. The contracts are binding and stores wont forgive that accumulated interest. You may want to think twice before complaining about your airline. The Supreme Court indicated today you may not have a leg to stand on when an airline revokes someones frequent flyer status.
