I can't get rid of these guys! I quit the club a couple years ago because it was so lame - they called me at least 5 times to renew my membership, which I refused every time. They finally stopped calling (I hope), but several weeks ago I received a "Craft Traditions" hardcover book (only $24.99 + $4.99 shipping) and a separate letter with a couple cheap tags or something saying they knew I would do the "right" thing and renew my membership after receiving these "free" gifts & knowing all they offer. (I opted out of the "book club" very quickly when my membership was still active) I immediately sent the book back with "merchandise refused" & "package refused" in big bold black letters on the box. So now I get a bill for $29.98 - the attached letter says " most of the Creative Home Arts Club Members have gotten back to me, but our records show we have not heard from you". I don't think so! I plan to contact the Better Business Bureau - this is ridiculous!

Sending me bills for membership that I never signed up for. No phone no web on bill only PO Box. Will have to write again to cancel got nothing from first cancellation.

I joined this creative home arts club because I love to do crafting.
I would get monthly magazines, free gifts, and products to try and keep free. For $1.00 I would get $24.00 credit for my LIFE TIME membership for the magazine, but owed $386.00 for the club. and for my club membership I would receive these great gifts and be able to try products. So I paid my club membership in one payment, $386.00. I did receive some gifts! Wow 3 different carrying bags! All mine for the amazing low price of $386.00. I have NEVER received any products to try and I have been a member for over 2 years. I did get the magazine for awhile but consisted of crafts you could send for and buy, the magazines have stopped, (prob. because I never ordered) and the only other gift I've received has been some return address labels, so some other fool will see them and look into their WONDERFUL (not) club. I will check complaint boards from now on to see about any offers.

I'll write back if my efforts work. I have attempted to cancel membership four times through phone call to their membership services phone number (they now have one and it's not difficult to get through). However, even after several phone calls, not only requesting they cancel membership, but cease ALL correspondence, mailing, membership offers, books, magazines, gifts and samples, they still send me a book that I have to return at the cost of $4.00 to me, if I don't want it.

Today, I wrote a letter to every address I could find telling them if they did not cease all mailings within 2 weeks or call me, I would file a complaint with the better business bureau and seek legal assistance to remedy the matter. I've paid all bills on time and am sick of getting the books (even though they are nice books, I don't want them at $30.00 each!!! So instead, I'm obliged to return one every two weeks (at my cost) and once again request cancellation of membership.
Such a racket - they will be in court if they don't change their harrassing tactics!

I recieved a magazine that I did not subscribe to...Creative Home Arts Magazine. They have sent me three reminders to pay my dues or I would be "Shut -OFF, in fairness to active dues -paying members". It also states they "Need for IMMEDIATE payment of $12.00. The bottom of the letter reads MEMBERSHIP DUES INVOICE. This is a scam to look like you owe them for a magazine subscription. They send you their magazine in the mail, stating you ordered it, then send a lookalike invoice. If I was a senior citizen or an absent minded person, I might have paid it, thinking I had overlooked something I had indeed ordered. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE HOPING FOR. I called their number 1-877-893-7885. I asked why I was sent a magazine and I was told "I had signed up" in November of 2008. I told her I had NOT ordered anything. I demanded to know how she got my name, then she states that "it doesn't say how I got on their list" She then started to describe the benefits and perks and savings etc. I would get with my subscription. I told her "If I had ordered this magazine, don't you think I would know all this stuff already???" That shut her up !!! I demanded that I be removed and told her what I thought about their deceitful scam. She said I may get one more invoice, but she removed my name. WEll, Miss ASHLEY JOHNSON, you're being reported to the BBB. Be careful folks.
