Bought a Kirby and now We're in Debt With First Credit!!!

(Dalzell, SC)
A well dressed Man came by our house only days after we moved in and offered to clean our carpet for free. But because we were too busy unpacking we said not now come back later (thinking they would never return).
However, Later that week, he did return and this time with a young woman. Since we weren't busy and wanted a "free" carpet cleaning we allowed them to come in.
They assured us they only wanted to clean the carpet and demonstrate how well the machine worked. The woman promised us we would not have to purchase anything we did not want and that she only needed 30 minutes of our time in order for her to get paid for the day.
SHE ENDED UP STAYING FOR 2 HOURS! AND AFTER HER LITTLE SCAM WAS OVER SHE SAT ON OUR PORCH FOR ANOTHER HOUR WAITING FOR THE VAN TO COME BACK AND PICK HER UP!!!!!!!!!
We agreed and she went out to the big White van they pulled up in and came back with a kirby box and a black tote. The man drove off. She told us not to worry and that he would be back to get her in 30 minutes.
She gave a great "performance" and demonstration. But after she gave us the price of 2200 bucks we knew it was something we wanted, but couldn't afford. She asked to use our phone and called her manager. She later said that if we signed a contract, traded in our old vacuum and made monthly payments of 99.00 for 24 months we could have it.
We made the biggest mistake ever and signed on the dotted line. A month later, we recieved a phone call from First Credit asking for their money. We told them that we did not want the vacuum and that the purchase was a mistake and asked how could we return it. They basically told us "too bad, So Sad"!
So now we are stuck with a vacuum and a payment that we really cannot afford to have nor have we used. Do not feel pressured into buying the Vacuum!!! IT IS A SCAM!!!!! Tell them NO! before they even get one foot in the door!
