Reviews and Complaints

As is typical with Handyman, aggressive membership drive & unsolicited gifts as others have testified, I too am unhappy. After canceling my membership, & not seeing membership dues notices for months I thought I was through with them. Then I get a collection notice from RMCB for $225.76!

I will appeal the collection & assure that they know that I want nothing more to do with them!

I joined the club and was promised to receive some products to try and newsletters, magazines but nothing came except a bill so I called a 1-800 number and explained my problem I was reassured that I would receive what was due to me but still nothing so I called back after two months to cancel my subscription and to advise not to send me any more anything of handyman stuff. That didn`t work, to this day I still get mags and bills from them for something that I have told them that I didn`t want or need

It was to be a one year magazine subscription and charged for 2 years. Please cancel the subscription and refund money for the rest of the subscription. Do not send any more books. I am returning the book that I received.

I received a dues invoice for $12 for a 12 month membership that I never said I wanted. I called 800.209.9606 and talked with Alexa. I told her I have been reading the complaints board regarding the Handyman Club. I told her to cancel my membership immediately. The invoice said a new member kit would arrive around or near 07/09/2017. I told Alexa that if I still receive a kit, I would consider it a gift. She said that was ok, that I could keep it - and I will.

I received unsolicited mail from this company just today. The offer ($12 a year to receive tools monthly, getting to keep said tools, and only having to fill out a survey for each tool) sounded too good to be true, so of course I went online to check them out. Thank you so much for your complaints. I'll probably be keeping this mail in my files for when, like many of you, they send me collection notices for memberships or subscriptions I never authorized.

I just received a bill (delinquent) from a place called handyman club of which i have never heard of saying i owed them 3 months back dues. in contacting them by phone they say the law allows them to bill in this manner. Well in va billing for services you did not receive, the last time i read the law was a felony. on a federal level it could be considered mail fraud. What are these people trying to do and above all, who are they.

Received a collection letter though never received a magazine, welcome gift nor was I going to take membership once they billed me since I have the ability to reverse my decision. They didn't operate like other companies that once you ignore their 1st or 2nd payment notice they understand that you've changed their mind. Why I'd be in collections for a company that seems to not exist (I can't find them on othe internet via Google search) or who wants to collect on something that was not delivered is beyond me.
BEWARE!

[protected] I received a collection letter fron Pinnacle Financial Group for $37.98. When I called to find out what this charge was for they said it was from Handyman Club of America. I have no way to contact them as they do not give a phone number or away to contact them by email. Pinnacle Group told me this will stay on record because I refused to pay. They did not offer to help clear this thru Hannyman Club, and even if I contacted Hanyman they would not know what this charge is for since it was turn over to them.

I never subscribed to this club or any of its magazines or gifts... and don't intend to now or in the future... also do not intend to make payment on something I have not subscribed to..
I have received a letter from Handyman Club of America P.O. Box 3526 Minnet5onka, Mn. [protected] .. stating I am delinquent in my dues for this club... as I said before I have not subscribed to this club or any of its literature now or in the future...
I have tried to call there office on [protected] but there office hours are not on the weekend.. I will attempt another call on Monday may 5 to resolved this misunderstanding...

I subscribed/joined Handyman Club of America last year (2017), thinking there might be benefits for an old do-it-yourselfer. That aspect was correct... the magazine is great The agency they selected to do their billing should be instructed in demeanor and correctness, or better-yet, replaced! I have received two very demeaning and demanding "Collection Referral Notice" mailings from HCA. The second one arriving within a week or so of the first.

I have enjoyed and used the HCA magazine. However, with further thought, I will not renew my membership again.

Good luck with those test products. I've been a member for 18 years and I have only gotten 4 products which would have cost me a total of about $16. They were all too happy to send me cheap tools that they wanted me to pay for.

I agree with the entrant. I too am a life time member. After experiencing the worthless incentives "Made in China" and the nickel and dime test items I have come to the conclusion that they are only a distributor and outlet of product providers. Do not request replacement parts such as batteries for the power equipment. They will not supply nor do they have a source for you to obtain such. They keep asking me to go PRMIER Life member. I definately will NOT. They are nothing but a FOR PROFIT forget the members organization. I'm fed up with them!

I am a Life Member [protected] and have not received a magazine since the fall of 2014. My name is Danny Judy. I paid for life membership and promised a long list of items and all of a sudden I stopped receiving anything. I was also a tester. I received one item to e=test and completed the required paperwork and have since heard nothing. What gives?

I am sorry. For your troubles I am authorizing a shipment of 20 screwdrivers.

OMG, you are a plant! The company had you find this guy's posting and say something so stupid as "have you tried calling customer service?" Get real dude; this company is a scam to get people to join up and pay up! No way am I going to hand over my hard earned money for trinkets and junk. BTW, from what other people have said, the "Company" is a little more than aggressive! They outright lie to try to get people's money. Only a feeble-minded doinky-doink would pay out money for their junk, so go back to your bosses at HMC and tell them where they can stick their brand new screwdriver. And leave the rest of us alone!

I have been a member of HMC for about 10 years now. At the very least you should have gotten an issue of the monthly magazine for your twelve dollars. They do sometimes get a little "aggressive" with the life membership deal but other then that I have enjoyed my membership and my monthly magazines. Have you tried calling customer service?

Looks like it has been several years since anyone posted comments regarding IMPONLINE. I also have been receiving and being billed for duplicate shipments and called to cancel my account. Naturally I had an upaid balance which was direct debited from my account and thought that was teh end of it. SURPRISE, got a bill in the mail telling me I was late on my payment and the typical late payment info. I called to speak with billing manger Charles Wilcox (customer service is our number 1 priority according to hold message) and Mr Wilcox is not available. SURPRISE, SURPRISE. Customer agent said nothing was due on the account and it is now closed. I am holding my breath...Mike D.

I have cancled this account months ago, why do you people still try to send me stuff, I cannot aford your product, I need your retrun address lables for you have sent me doubles of product I do not need or want. CUSTOMER# [protected] Thank you for your patients but this needs to stop now. Aaron Albitz

I do not want anything sent to me unless I order it. Don't send me any mail, or things in the mail.

i agree they were suppose to send me some classical composer ###, never recieved it then they kept sending me cds, never responded to emails. ###in scam artists.

I have to agree with the above complaints...except they send me very expensive books that they expect me to pay $30 each. The books don't have any information that you can't get free at Home Depot. I didn't ask for the books. Am now receiving threatening letters. This is definately a scam outfit, and I intend to tell the bookstores that carry their magazine.

I am a fee paying member of “Handyman Club of America”. I was lured into membership by promising services that I never received except the free Handymen Magazine. In January, my friend and I got an unsolicited mail from the “Handyman Club of America” labeled “Free Gift Inside”. My friend throw it into the garbage, I opened it to find a junk calendar priced $16.99 with an added $4.99 S+H, totaling $21.98. Some free stickers were though included. Although we mailed this garbage back to them, they started soliciting the money anyway by sending every month an invoice. I sent a written complaint, similar to this, which was never answered. Recently I received a written notice that My “account” is “Seriously Delinquent” and if I don’t pay, they start a collection procedure. They even gave me a collection file number. Since I have recorded every step of their action as well as my responses, I am going to sue this company to collect compensation and prevent such scam activities in the future. Dr. Fulop

I am in the same situation with this people. I just received a tread about sending me for collection. How can we resolve this matters?

Dear Sean,

Thank you for your email. We are sorry that you have decided to discontinue your membership. We have canceled your account today. Please disregard any billing notices you may have received.

Thank you,

Brandon

Member Services

this is what I got after my email to them with in a few hours... We will see

memberservices@handymanclub.com is the email to use.

I see how im not the only one to complain about this club. Please if anybody resolved the problem email me and tell me how the problem was fixed.

I was "invited" to test some tools and to become a member and was given a means to accept membership but no way to refuse. i was told that I had been recommended because I was such an outstanding handyman although everyone who knows me knows that I'm the exact opposite. Furthermore, I live in a retirement manor whose staff includes a maintenance crew which handles all minor maintenance tasks.

I received an unsolicited subscription. Of course I didn't pay. A few weeks later I received a second bill threatening me with a collection agency if I did not pay for a 2 year subscription @ $24.00 within the next fourteen days. Just when I was going to give in and pay I decided to look into the company a little more. I wasn't surprised to learn others have had the same experience. I think this company buys mailing lists, sends them all a magazine, then a bill, hoping most will just pay. But then uses terror tactics on the rest by means of a collection agency. I too intend to contact my Attorney General.

Call their customer service number @ [protected] OR [protected] and ask to have your subscription canceled.

What can be done they just start sending magazines then a bill without any one ordering it this is against the law... How can they collect! There is no contact info!

I have received a Official Notification letter from HANDYMAN OF AMERICA stating that my membership dues is three months overdue. I never joined HANDYMAN. They also state that if they do not receive payment within the next 10 days, they will refer this to a licensed collection agency. I have gone to their website but see NO way of contacting them. The letter was signed by K. Pope--Treasurer? The sad thing is, I have seen the Handyman magazine and was considering subscribing!

My husband recently received unsolicited mail from the Handyman Club of America. He did not sign up for anything from this company. We just received an official notification saying they were going to take us to a collection agency for past due membership. The letter has no contact information for the company, nor could we find any way to contact them on their website. This is extremely frustrating and should be illegal!

I received a membership offer from Handyman Club of America. I read the Junk mail and was not interested. I received a letter claiming my account status was delinquent and if I did not pay, they would send my Membership dues of $25.00 to Collections. These guys are Scam artist. I never joined. There should laws against this type of Marketing.

Sorry, he is receiving these notices in the mail, not by email.

My husband keeps receiving an email stating that he owes $24 for "past due membership dues". We have emailed with the wish to cancel this subscription but continue to receive these notices with a "risk" of the account being sent to collections. Is an email not enough? I see others are having/had the same problem in receiving "past due bills". Any advice?

I appreciate whoever listed the [protected] number for Handyman Club of America - I just called and supposedly the membership (that I never requested) is cancelled. I was told that if I should receive another invoice I can just disregard. We shall see. The [protected] number listed on the letter just puts you in a holding pattern.

I got the same thing! I called them and told them that I was (and I'm telling the truth here) a disabled vet and had the use of only one arm so why would I join their club. If they didnt cancle it and fix the mistake then I would take them to court and make sure that this stops!

Call their customer service number @ [protected] OR [protected] and ask to have your subscription canceled.

This is a horrible company. How can you expect people to pay for something they never ordered in the first place! And then start legal action! I'm reporting them to the Better Business Bureau.

I have been a life member for about 8 years. I have not received any thing from Handyman in several years, no magazines, information about tool or any other wooding projects.

I am a life time member and have not received a magazine for the past eight years and was supposed to test new products . I would like to get my magazines or I would like My $250.00 life time membership back. Thank You

I recently received notice from a collection agency which has no live person to talk with for complaint or that of Handyman Club of America where I can dispute this issue in the amount of $24.00 for membership. I have only received two issue of the magazine and clearly have tried to correct this with cancellation of this and anything related to the company. I cannot talk with anyone from either area and Handyman does not have phone number which to contact by way of the internet or by mail that has been sent. What is a consumer to do when you have no means of contact.

5-6 Years ago I became a life member and received free tools but since I moved to Texas I've received 2 magazines and those were last year and no tools to try and no more magazines I tried calling the # on my life membership card and it's no longer their #. I thought they went out of business?

I received a copy of the enclosed statement and I can promise you that I have not received anything from Handy Man Magazine other that an opportunity to enroll with their magazine. I did not subbmit anything to this company and I have no intentions of paying them anything.

I have been a life member for ten years and never had any problem. I have received many product test items and never received a bill for those items. Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones.

I received a letter from RMCB Collection Agency stating I owe Handyman Club of America $325.00 for a lifetime membership. I spoke with this club approximately a year ago and canceled my membership. Any books that I had received in the interim were returned to the club. I do not feel that I owe this amount to Handyman Club.

Beware!

I feel like i got ripped off. i signed up for the handyman club and they haven't sent me nothing. They keep giving me nothing but flak. they send letters and promised to send power tools and more. Don't join the club it is the biggest scam ever! I am a paid member and i cant even contact them to straighten this bad situation out. Don't ever join this scam!

This is a scam. They sent a teaser edition to my Dad. I read it, and threw it away. The information was useless. Now he is getting threatening mail from RMCB collection agency. Please watch out for your elderly relatives. We are also having an issue with Dealer Warranty. I really wonder if these people don't have a data base connected to folks on dementia meds!

All I want is out and to be done with them. Initially I paid $24 for 2 years received a book with the simplest tools usage. Then they hit me with year membership, I do not want the books I sent it back. I do not want the lifetime membership I stated so and sent it in. I do not want to be a member and to keep the $24 dollars because they are way under my skill level and you have to be in advanced skill level to get any tools I might use. This is a waste of my time monitoring the mail for them. Robert Masters, Do not send, offer, bill, or ship a gift to me. I do not want your simplistic cheap and gamey tool hype. Thank you very much.

I withdrew my membership with Handy Man Club of America in 2006 because I was not happy with their cheeply made products and useless magazine. On Feb. 26, 2008 I get a notice from RMCB Collection Agency demanding $249.00 for a life membership I cancelled almost 2 years ago. Even after I cancelled the first time, Handy Man Club tried to reinstate my membership with out my authorization which I had to cancel a second time. I belong to Sears Handy Man club which is free to join and you get REAL savings and can purchase REAL tools that you can actually use.

I was getting overwhelmed by material from the Handy Man Club after joining. I had also returned one of their books in the box per their instructions but still continued to get billed for it. I finally just paid for it. Shortly after I spoke with a representative and cancelled my membership. More than a year later I received a letter from a collection agency RMCB. I responded in writing per the instructions on the letter. I received another letter stating that I'd not responded. This time I responded via their automated phone system. Then I begin to receive "reactivation invitations" from the Handy Man Club again. Today I received a phone call from a Handy Man club solicitor offering to reinstate me at a discount. When I refused, he told me that my "membership is not cancelable". When I asked him to explain what that means he just kept repeating it. I tried to locate the Handy Man Club through the Better Business Bureau but can't find a record of them yet. They have been a night mare to deal with.

I also have received a collection letter from this club, they ignored my cancellation request. I am sending the club and collection co. a drop dead, certified letter w/ return receipt. Telling them to drop dead and do not contact me again. I will also contact the BBB and State attorney Generals office and Secretary of State office.
This club is a scam from start to finish, we need to spread the word to friends and relatives.
The States should put a stop to this type of theft, deception and criminal activity.

This isn't a complaint, I'm praising the Handy Man Club of America. They have, just a couple of months ago, rearranged my Lifetime Membership payments, they offered me a lower payment over a longer period of time. This offer has made it possible for me to continue ot be a Life Member in the club, where-as before I couldn't afford the membership payments. That and I just received an invoice stating that I didn't owe anything at the invoice date, they are trying, trying hard to do things the right way, give them a break willya!?!

Handy Man is full of bull__! They promise you free tool trials "and you keep the tools" LIARS! I don't know who is supposedly testing all these tools but it sure hasn't been me. It must be the higher ups or the social club. I seen a contest winner last week in the latest subscription and he won a few off brand tools, maybe thats what you mean by test the tools and you get to keep them. There should be a law against LIARS who push magazines and make promises they don't keep. Oh and by the way don't worry about "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO BECOME A LIFETIME MEMBER, YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY OUR MEMBER PANEL TO BECOME A LIFE TIME MEMBER" Who in the hell is your member panel I'm a member and I don't remember having any say in who was chosen to be a "LIFETME MEMBER.

This company promised free gifts tools and hardware items to try, which i could keep at no charge, all I received was threatening letter no contact numbers to talk to anyone anyone receiving anything from this company should return it with no postage, which they will have to pay, maybe a little piece of mind,

I paid them for a 3 year membership and to date have not received any magazines, free trial products or anything else they said I would. What a rip-off.

My son who is now 20 has been hassled by this company for 4 years to pay for a lifetime membership that he never agreed to, and we have never received services . They have now turned this over to a collection agency. The bill is for 300.00.

This is for Model Rectifier Corporation. They, last week, did me the great service of replacing the decals for a kit I purchased from them, they were also very helpfull in replacing a couple of parts that were missing from that same kit. I would recommend MRC for anyone who is looking for a supplier to meet their scale modeling needs.

Very crooked and unethical company, Stay away avoid

Thank you for your well written post. I agree entirely with your comments about this outfit and judging by the number of complaints it appears that there are many other people who have been scammed too.
It is still going on.

Just today (9/11/07) my wife received two "Official Notification" letters, one from Handyman Club and the other from National Home Gardening Club. They contain identical wording and both signed by K. Pope so it is obvious that this mob is even bigger than we thought.
Like you, I am not just rolling over on this and have filed complaints with The State of Florida and The Better Business Bureau.

I have not yet been harassed by the collection agency RCMB but should that happen I will make them choke on Title 15 Chapter 41
http://www.access.gpo.gov/uscode/title15/chapter41_.html. Good luck to all. Maybe one of those lawyers will get a whiff of possible class action and we can collectively take these crooks to the cleaners.

Handyman Club of America continues to send me unauthorized tools for 'testing and purchase' after I have sent them several notices to stop doing so. Sending products before authorization by recipient, then expecting the recipient to pay for it is illegal. I am fed up with them. I had a 'lifetime membership' and told them I only wanted their magazine, which can be pretty interesting for someone interested in DIY projects, but I do NOT want the tools when the testing is a scam for making you purchase them.

I have been getting bills for a subscription that I didn't want. The last one was very threatening that they were going to send my account to a collection agency. These bills do not do not have any customer service contact information but only a PO Box in which to send the money.

Via searching through the internet, finding their marketing partners, I have found a phone number to get "my subscription" canceled. I called and told them that I wanted it canceled. Based on that, they told me that the bills would stop coming.

This is the course of action I would recommend to the rest of you complaining about Handymanclub.

Their contact information is as follows:
Phone: [protected] OR [protected]

Address: 12301 Whitewater Dr., Minnetonka, MN 55343

I hav'nt had the misfortune to have been a member that long, but I did receive some free tools, along with the life time membership nomination. I had already cancelled my membership via landline, yet I am still being billed. I also want every one to know that the tools sent are in my opinion of some-what sub standard craftmanship. HANDY MAN CLUB OF AMERICA should at the very least offer MADE IN AMERICA tools.

Ruben

I have finally found the phone number to customer service and actually spoke to a real person. It took hours to find this little gem. [protected]. Call and cancel immediately. This is one funky company.

Michelle

I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER INVITATION TO JOIN THE CLUB. FUNNY I WAS A MEMBER AND CANCELED AND THEY DON'T EVEN NOTE THAT. I LOVED THE MAGAZINE BUT NEVER RECEIVED ANY TOOLS TO TRY-OUT WHICH THEY PUSH AT YOU TO BECOME A MEMBER. WHEN YOU GET THE MAGAZINE IT SHOWS PEOPLE THAT TESTED TOOLS. FUNNY THING IS THEY WERE ALL PREMIUM AND/OR LIFE TIME MEMBERS. IF YOU CHECK THEIR WEB SITE THIS QUESTION IS ASKED UNDER THE "FAQ" SECTION. ON THEIR WEBSITE I WENT TO CONTACT INFORMATION TO FILE MY COMPLAINT AND A BLANK EMAIL POPS UP ... AND I MEAN BLANK, THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOT ON IT! NO PHONE NUMBERS OR ADDRESS EITHER. LOOKS JUST LIKE ANOTHER SCAM WEBSITE. JUST WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW TO BEWARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR. LIKE I SAID, THE MAGAZINE IS GREAT BUT SINCE I CANNOT CONTACT ANYONE I WILL NOT JOIN THIS CLUB AGAIN.

I'm trying to find out information on the Handyman Club of America, Tool Hall of Fame Collector's Series, I have several coin shaped and one reads, Milwaukee Sawzall and another reads Workmate, Black & Decker. Just what are these? Also do they have any retail value? Any info will be appreciated!

Thank you,
Deb Fry

we received today a statement from Handyman Club of America for $24.00 for a HANDY magazine that we did not order. I called the 800 #, spoke with a very nice lady named Teal, who promptly and nicely canceled our "subscription" No problem. So far...

To whom it may concern: I am writing again to let you know someone is getting my magazines. Since you did nothing about it I did some searching and found out that a David Harman @ 1201 Wyoming Ave. Exeter, PA [protected] was using my account to get my magazines. I changed the address to my address since it is my account and now I recieved an invoice for membership. Check your records I have beeen a member since April 2004. I have not recieved a magazine in months. If you people do not get this straightened out soon I will be contacting my lawyer concerning mail fraud. I have told you about this problem for the last two years. My account # is [protected]. I expect an e-mail very soon from you concerning this matter. David L. Harman

i tryed you for 1 yr.,i don't any more,cancell my membership,i will not renew.

Handyman Club of America sent me a collection agency letter. Anyone know how to contact them? I never started a membership however, they are still trying to collect dues. Will this hurt me credit score? Any help would be appreciative. Thank you.

~Paul

Strongly agree.

I wish I read this info earlier than I subscribed this club.

They keep sending me useless stuff - "tools" and books. They send me a unknown book that I never asked. After a couple of weeks, they ask me to pay for the strange book. Because I have no idea and do not have interests in this book, I have to pay postage and send the book back to them. They are really making trouble to me rather than helping me.

Handyman Club of America magazine contains very limited information for DIY besides ads. I received 3 issues so far. None of them is worthwhile to me at all.

Handyman Club of America is threatening to turn me over to a collection agency for membership dues for a club I never joined.

They first sent a book with the option to pay for the book and they will send another, cancel any time. Their specific wording was "You can keep each volume at the regular Member price, plus shipping and handling, or return it to the club. You're under no obligation to continue in the program now or in the future. You can choose how many or how few volumes you want and can cancel at any time. No questions asked". There was also a part about being able preview for something like 30days.

Well what happened was, I would receive a book on Friday, send payment on the following Monday and when I would get home from work and check the mail, there would be a late payment notice! After about 4-5 of these, on the payment of one, I wrote a note to cancel and send no further books. A week later I get another book So I send back (paying S&H) with another note stating that I canceled and I would no longer pay for the books or any other merchandise sent with me specifically ordering it, and that I would not pay to send anything back. They sent 3 more books and approx 50 notices to pay or be sent to collections notices.

Today I received 3 more notices and also a phone call from a person from CMS Communications? (the person talked with an accent and was very hard to understand) notifying that I owed the money. I told him of the letter and that I would send the books back if they send me a pre-paid label. This company is totally insane and after a bit of research I found it owns a group of 'Clubs'. The company is "The North American Membership Group Inc" It has at least 6 different Clubs under its belt which I will make it a point to stay away from.

I am hoping to get the pre-paid labels and when I mail them back I will mail them with signature receipt.

I received a collection notice from RMCB on behalf of the Handyman Club of America for $359. I paid them my past due balance of $10 late in 2007 after quitting around January 2007 and thought I was done with them. Out of the blue, I got this notice and have no idea what it's for.
They don't list an address for HCOA and I have no clue what my member number would have been once upon a time. I did call and press the button for "if the order was cancelled press 2". No person was available at RMCB.
I'm about to file a claim with the Better Business Bureau.

I paid my lifetime fees and 2014 was the last magazine I ever received.I am suppose to receive them for life time. My name is: Mike Patterson 2505 Bernice Drive Bakersfield california 93304 Club Member number is [protected]

I've paid for a lifetime membership but I no longer receive any subscription and am not able to access the website with my credentials. May I ask for my money back since it does not sound right to me?

Dear Handyman Club of America,

I am writing to you in regards to your deceptive practices. I have received notices for payment in the amount of $37.98 for a book entitled “Landscape Structures and Decks” (RE: Billing LMRN9862) that I never requested nor received. You have now referred this matter to a collection agency so in an effort to preserve my good credit I am hereby sending you payment in the amount of $37.98 so you will close this matter immediately. In addition, I am returning to you a book entitled “Tools and Techniques” that I also never requested from you, but I did previously send you payment for.

I joined your organization as a “lifetime member” in January of 2011. I sent you payment in the amount of $355.00. I received some low grade cheap Chinese tools, all of which I could have purchased from Harbor Freight Tools for much less than $100.00. My standards for tools that I purchase and use are much, much higher than the crap that you sent me.

I am hereby notifying you that I wish to cancel my membership (#[protected]) effective immediately.

I will consider that I have been scammed for $355.00 and an additional $75.96 for two books that I never requested from you and one of which I never did receive. Considering the character of your organization I am relatively confident that I will never be reimbursed any part of the $430.96 that I have paid to your organization to date.

With hopes of receiving any restitution, I will be sending a copy of this letter to the Texas Attorney General’s Office, The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office and to the Better Business Bureau. In addition, I will be posting this letter and negative comments about your organization (the truth) to any and all consumer feedback websites that I can find in an attempt raise awareness about your deceptive practices so others will not fall prey to your scams.

Sincerely,
turbopropdude

My husband and I have been fighting with this company for 2 years now. We do not have a membership with the Handyman Club of America, they keep sending useless stuff to our address and we keep calling them to stop this. 1 year ago we received a letter from Handyman saying that we owed over $400.00. When I contacted them, they finally got the message, (or so we thought) and we were told to disregard this notice. Today we received a bill from RMBC Inc. collection agency for $530.00. I called them and tried to explain what was going on, and was hung up on. Nice customer service. The battle continues.

THE ONLY THING HANDY ABOUT HANDYMAN CLUB OF AMERICA IS THEIR HANDS. THEYARE GODDAMN PICK POCKETS, OR SO THEY THINK!THEY ARE THREATNING ME WITH A CLLECTION AGENY FOR $24.00 DUES , VIA NEW MEMBERSHIP FOR TWO YEARS. I NEVER AGREED TO ANY THING EXCEPT TO RECIEVE ONE FREE ISUUE OF THEIR MAGAZINE. THEY SENT ANOTHER UNAUTHORIZED. THEN THEY STARTED WITH THE THREATS. TO BE FAIR THE HANDY MAG IS WORTH THE $$. THIS SCAM OF THEIRS IS NOT GOING TO WORK ON ME. THE $$ IS NO BIG DEAL , I COULD PAY IT NOW WITH MY DEBIT CARD. MY PROBLEM WITH THEM IS THER DISHONESTY. I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO TYPE THIS WITH MY ONE THINGER TYPEING SKILLS TO WARN OTHERS. BELIEVE ME I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO...GO PLAY WITH YOURSELF HANDY... I DONT NEED YOUR HELP, AFTER ALL I HAVE MY ONE FINGER SKILLS! BUYER BEWARE!

I chose to drop my membership. Now I am being threatened with a collection agency.

Beware!

I was in receipt of a debt collection from Handyman Club of America for $359.00. for something I do not receive nor did I order. Either Handyman is a rip off or the collection agency is a rip-off. Read other reports from consumers in regards to this. Some consumers are receiving letters from RCMB collection agency and others like me come from RMCB. I plan or notifying the Attorney General of New York where the collection agency is supposedly located. BE SMART... Do not send money to this collection agency for something you never ordered SCAM>>>>>

Handyman sends you a book that they make you believe is free. Three weeks down the road you get a bill for $15.00. And they tell you they will send you more books. In that correspondence they give you a phone number. You call the number and cancel the subscription to Handyman and they tell you ok. Then after that they continuously send you a bill and those bills do not have a telephone number to reach anyone or if there is a phone number at that point in time, it is only voicemail when you call it. They keep sending invoices month after month for a $15.00 membership. This particular bill has no phone number on it to reach out to anyone at the company. Now that I have moved the bill still comes forwarded to me. Eventually I will wind up in a collection agency because this last invoice says "Second Reminder". The envelope says, "Time-Sensitive Document Inside." Something must be done for this bogus company to stop harassing people and trying to collect funds that they have no right billing people for.

I am a Life member also but it seems like it doesn't matter anymore from all the complaints read. Too bad for us.

member number [protected].

like most i can't find the website for handyman club of america

I stopped receiving the free magazine, which is part of my lifetime membership, a 7 years ago.

help!

They quit sending the magazine. No more tool testing. I was assured that I would be getting a magazine and free tool testing and review them.

I along with many others have had the same experience.

Let’s get to the bottom of this!

Just going through papers. Realized I never i lnquired why my Lifetime Subscriptionstopped years ago. I joined in 2000. Paid 359 for Lifetime. Always going to call andcask them. Put it off. Now cannot find them online. Do you know what happened?joined 03/2000. Membership #[protected]

As a very long lifetime member, I too haven't received any information or magazines in over 10 years.

I have been a Life Member for a couple decades. My promised letters and magizines quit coming several years ago. Did or was the program canceled if so will there be a refund of membership cost returned?

What is going on? Haven't received anything from y'all in years. With a lifetime membership I would expect to see stuff regular. Can I at least get some feedback as to what happened to the club.

Iam a life time member and I have relocated because of the neighborhood has gone down the drain stealing and fighting with that being said ROBERT DALLIS is my life time member name also search under my name DALLAS OK I RELOCATED FROM 616 STUYVESANT AVENUE TRENTON NEW JERSEY 08618
