Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com false delinquency reports

PCH reported me as delinquent on several order accounts even though all accounts were settled within 2 months of the order dates. Some of these order accounts were started as partial payment accounts, but they would say they would accept 4 payment plans and turn around and send me notices for full payment due after I would send in one or two partial payments. This is absolutely ridiculous that they would do this . They refused to remove the delinquencies from my credit report even though all accounts were paid in full within 2 months of the order dates. I feel this is a misleading offer of a partial payment plan and that I settled over $200 dollars of accounts within a month of these second notice mailings. I asked 2 credit report agencies to intervene for me and ask for removal of these delinquency reports, so far there has been no response other than a confirmation that a request was received by e-mail. They will not resolve from a phone call only... has to be written on formal online question / response. I owe them nothing as of today's date. 0.00 balance on 2/09/15.

I received for the first time a delinquency notice from PCH for a garden hose I ordered for $44.45. I ordered several items from PCH and never received any delinquency notices of any kind. I always pay with PayPal when I order from any company that accepts PayPal on the internet. I spoke with a rep this evening. He was basically rude to me. I have NEVER in my life NOT paid for any item I have ordered from the internet. I usually order from ebay and I will continue ordering from ebay. I certainly will NEVER order anything from PCH ever again. I do not like to be accused of not paying for any item I have ordered from any company on the internet. I plan to tell all of my friends NOT to deal with PCH ever. There are also lots of PCH scams on the internet. You need to take care of your business a little more professionally.

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com scratch cards?

I faithfully check my email and try to keep up with all of PCHs game offers and sweepstakes events. That have this section called scratch cards. I've yet to seen this scratch card or use it because every time I'm done completing the lottery number cards and it goes to the scratch card page the page never loads. I feel at a disadvantage to winning if that's even possible...

It's all a piece of CRAP and they don't care about you or anyone else!
The games don't load right and will freeze up on you when you're playing them. So my best advise is to just not play them at all!
Take it from someone that's been there and been playing for years, and not won a thing, not even a $1.00... How pitiful is that?

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com didn't order magazines

I never ordered from PCH for magazines. I am getting bills from PCH for items I have bought, but I am getting billed for something I did not order and why would it be billed separate from the other items that I am PAYING ON TIME for? The bill does not even look like the example they use on their site to pay off via their website. I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE CATCH THIS LIKE I DID. I would of just paid it off, because I believe all my bills that I receive. Wow Didn't think I would be scammed, someone with no income and bad credit.

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com Internet lotto games site

Lotto games show duplicate winning numbers for different games. For example, the 'million bucks' game had the exact winning numbers as a game for the after 5pm game. It was actually 3 separate games in the daytime lotto and 3 separate games in the twilight lotto with exact matching winning numbers. I registered a phone complaint with PCH however, the problem is not fixed. Also, PCH offers a "winning numbers" page to check your plays and it does not open every day so I can check k my numbers.
In addition, PCH does not have a web resolution tab or web page. I have to call every time there is a problem with their website! This is a poor way to conduct business and I am sure I am not the only PCH customer with this problem...

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com merchandise I did not order

The only thing I'm guilty of is going into the "Publishers Clearing House" website. Naturally, I looked at many things they had for sale,

however, I "did not" place an order for anything. I was only browsing their merchandise.

Then, about 1 week later, I had ordered some things from HSN and I opened the boxes and found my HSN things but there was also

4 tea light candles with holders (made of tin), and 2 cheap looking blue towels (Walmart price probably 5.00 each. I thought these

were shipped to me from HSN, so I returned them to HSN (thought it was sent to me in error). About 3 weeks later, HSN returned

the goods to me stating this was not their merchandise.

Then, I started getting these bills (about every 3 weeks) from Publishers Clearing House about how I'd ordered and they had shipped

tea lights and towels and wanted me to pay them, to start with it was something like $42.00...now the price has increased to $46.41.

What a scam. I DID NOT place an order with them and never have. One time on their website is one too many! Do they really

think I'll pay for something I DID NOT Order? Reason for not returning: Don't think I should pay charges to return items I did not

order.

I've been recieving emails harassing me, Bill's for a dumb $12.00? Apparently for a subscription to sum magazine I noticed tellin me I ordered? I sent a email to their customer service PCH ~ as I had done so one time prior about same occurrence? I had that one cancelled not aware I ordered either one? I never recieved on magazine because I've already ordered, and recieve other magazines from other better offered (pricing lower) companies. I now recieved a collections notice, unwarranted, now threatening me from North Shore Agency, in which as soon as this complaint is done, I will be submitting complaints in to the Better Buisness Burea. I'm a Nurse, up standing tax payer. I never recieved one magazine from this sudposed order, I WILL NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING I DID NOT / NEVER - RECIEVED! I attemptted to call North Shore Agency's [protected] #, several times to attempt to discuss issues with customer service, no one ever answers? Not that I'm surprised, they give you two options, either touch # one, to pay, # 2 no pay, if you touch 2, they disconnect you immed.ly not offer to talk to customer service, lol ~ Nice buisness tatics?!?

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com $25,000 lucky seven

I am filing a complaint because I received in my mail box a $25, 000 Lucky Seven scratch off from Publish Clearinghouse some time in Feb 2014. I scratched it off and was very excited that I won that amount. I have not received any correspondence and I believe this is a scam since I did my own research online and others have complained about this as well. For the first time since I became a online member through PCH, I received a package for another scratch off for $500. It is not the PO Box 81 Syosset, NY 11791. I have the documents, I just did not scan them. I just want my money that is all I want.

PCH has all these wonderful scratch games and what not. What use is there to collect thousands of tokens other than proof of wasted time. Nothing use full to gain. Issuing Tokens appear to be another form of payment that has absolute no value to participants.

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com merchandise stinks

I did order from PCH. I ordered a dog pillow. Well within a week it split all the way down the seam and the pillow inside and all the stuffing fell out! Second I ordered a package of fuzzy socks. When I washed them by hand in cold water, they shrunk! Don't know what country made these items but they are a disaster! I'm so angry that they can forget getting money. I will not even pay to have them returned, not with my money. Shame on this company with so many followers to scam us with these third rate products. These items are cheaper in the store and easier to return. Sorry PCH, you dropped the ball on these products.

I love playing the video poker game and in math almost 1, 000, 000 chips. I played it daily
I went in and cashed in my chips and entered to win items. What's I did that I have not been able to log back on the video poker. I think I was messing so many chips they just blocked me out
If that is the case then it is a scam. Can play as long as you don't win

I play daily and always pick the same card in all of the choices and I never get the Jack
If there is one then for two months it is not been in this one of three places. Art to believe

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com program jams all the time

Since the addition of the "rolling discount dollar amount" on the One Million Dollars for life entry, the entry jams at this point, and I can go no farther to enter in this sweepstakes (even after refreshing). I cannot reach their technical department through their site, so I am hoping to bring this to their attention, so they can correct the issue, so I (and possibly others), can continue to enter this sweepstakes!

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com rigged games and tons of spam

I wish to add to the list of comments about publishers clearing house games and prize drawings. They spam me with emails constantly. I try to go on the site a bit daily to play some of the games and such, but then after about two weeks or so, they started spamming me with almost threats. The one today was the worse. The email line was a statement of alert and they actually had a small graph comparing how long I was on last week compared to this week. This is barely hump day and not a full week. They said what is wrong that I am not ":searching": as much as last week. They actually made me feel like a child that failed to turn in their homework. And what is all this searching to win. They really can not explain it. I just played some of the lotto games and I never know what numbers are actually drawn as winning. They also rig them. On the lottos there are five cards that come off the spinner and go down to the bottom of the page. I should say five spaces. You are only given three spins so you never get to be able to fill up the cards to win a prize. Then they give these virtual diamonds to be used in later games in the casino area. The number of gems you get are the number of spins in the cassino game. There is all sorts of money prizes on the wheelwith these black wedges with a number on it that tells you how many moves your little game piece moves through the cassino room for advancing for prizes., but it is rigged to only stop on only on the numbers and never the money amounts. It is my understanding that all games have to have winners and winners must be listed. They may announce the prize drawing people, but they never announce who actually wins on those daily games or not. We are made to sift through page after page of spam with tricky questions where you think you are just getting coupons for free tide or coke or something, but you get spammed with emails from pch even more. I got them to stop sending to my home mail box and thought on line would be better since they are not banging on me to buy junk with all these stupid stamps to put on cards that don't stick and fall off and get lost. It is almost as bad online. I just am getting tired of the spam just to play something I am just wasting my time on when I can have real fun on pogo or gsn.

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com cheated me out of tokens

I play the slots, games, and lotto on PCH sweeps on-line almost everyday. Today [protected]) pch cheated me out of 500 tokens. Every token i won i saw and added up. At the end the total was not what i had won. I had 2, 100 tokens and it showed i had 1, 600. I am tired of pch scamming the people. If they are legit they need to make it right. To top that off during the casino game after all the diamond games, the scratch off card is always "you are not a winner" no matter how low the amount of money is. PCH needs to show some form of winning even if it is not much just to show they are legit, if they really are. Enough is enough. I have played pch sweeps by mail since 1989 and never even won $5 dollars. I at least want my darn TOKENS due me!

you need to make your scratch games on pch.com work properly. also need to remove the winner you have on the bottom, you show the same winner for two months. it okay to show them onces not for months.

I understand that pch.com and their numerous sites are sweepstakes, like lotteries, you have to play & play until you win (not likely) or you simply quit from sheer frustration. What is almost cruel is the number of ways they suck you in for never-ending "chances" to win. There is a nauseating number of sweepstakes, each with their own game # and ending dates that flood your inbox daily. I signed up for 1 sweepstakes and in the swamp of emails I get daily, I'd gotten lost and confused and found myself on so many different pch game/sweepstakes lists unrelated to the initial one, and I realize that the end dates get further and further out so that I'm playing for forever. They tell you that your chances of winning anything are NOT increased if you buy the products they sell, but that can't be true. Somehow, someway the people who DO buy and give them money have to be seperated out from the ones that don't buy but still play to win. If you don't like being toyed with, stay away from PCH. I've got to quit.

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com can't activate entry for contest

The form comes up daily to submit for the entry to Publishers Clearing House Contest for $1Million Dollars for life
but the last confirmations didn't go through which means that I filled out the form for nothing and it doesn't count. Today it happened several times. I got an email from PCH to tel lme that I didn' sign the daily document and enter it as I always do. Now I wonder how many did go through. PCH appears to be a reliable company, just needs a technical tune up.
Also I scored the highest on the Gold Rush slots, but once again, I could not log in to register my 25, 500 points for today.
As I was looking for a complaint email address, I noticed others are having the same problem. Perhaps PCH is having technical
difficulties, but after all these weeks that I loyally filled out the forms, I don't want to lose because it didn't register before I wrote this complaint. Appreciate your help. If it is a technical problem, they will know by my complaint.
I couldn't find Contests in your catagories, that is why I chose gambling games. Thought it is a gamble to enter a contest.
Many thanks for your assistance.

I have found a good many of the links PCH has listed are dead. I posted 5 of them on the following site http://www.ilovegiveaways.com/pch-1million-every-year-life-sweeps I have also found that if you go through there links on the lotto not all the lotto where you pick your numbers but the one where it looks like lottery tickets yet you pick the numbers then you can't get to the lotto where you pick all your numbers ( the one with a blue background ). you loose out on it. Thought i'd pass the info on to ya, Luann

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com deception

You can't find the web site to enter there contest. If you do win, the Federal and State tax takes most of your
prize money leaving you with ten to twenty thousand dollars. Five thousand a week for life sounds real good until you work the math. For those of you out in computer land who can't fine the web site, go to abuse [protected]@anatabloctrial.com and stop the messages.

Beware! PCH Is just as bad as the rest of them, They tell every one that some one will win in your Area with your initials . That is deception. I don't care how you sugar coat it. It is deceitful . Then I receive a letter telling me I am a second chance winner of

one of the prizes, BUT and I say But you receive a Coupon for the item or items that you were told that you won in the second chance drawing, But you have to pay for them and they tell you that you are getting a discount. What the hell do they think we are stupid.

I can go to Wal Mart and buy the same crap cheaper than the discount coupons they are giving you. What a joke PCH. People are Not winning nothing when you have to pay for it

and that is Called DECEPTION. PCH you are lying to all these people and misleading them to believe they are going to win, When what you are really trying to do is Sell your over priced crap, that they don't want or need. But some of the old people don't know any better. Because they think they will have a better chance at winning if they place an order with you. I know because you Scammed my poor grandmother to death. She went to her grave believing she was going to win that Million Dollars. How do I know this ? because every time I walked in her home she would tell me, Bonnie I got a letter from PCH telling me I have won . and when my poor grandmother died and I had to clean out her house. it was full of Cheap jewelry from PCH along with all the other crap you sell to the old people. You should be a shamed of your self. You don't care as long as you get that order from them.

And you have the nerve to say, Wont you please order something. or you say an order would be appreciated at this time.

I expected to see some improvements in my love life after I contacted lanalutaspell@gmail.com and asked him to send out a spell to the Universe for me, but I didn’t expect a life-changing experience, that’s for sure! Still, though, that’s what I got! I’m not only in love, I’m going to be moving to my soon-to-be-fiance’s state next month! We probably would never even have met if it weren’t for Prophet Chrisand his wonderful powers of peace and love. I wish you all the peace and love you sent me, Prophet Chris.

Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com scams

I believe that they scam people because they keep sending me the same email. That if i dont entry to win the $5, 000 dollars a week sweepstake by the offical deadline i would loss my entry number that is unsigned to my name. And i enter so many times to this email and havent win anything yet. This been going on for years. Im just saying if this isnt real they shouldnt get people hopes up. Because some of us could really use a blessing like that. Because it could be hard living in this world today. Everything is so high. Exspecially the cost of housing.
