Over due payment!
You have sent me a letter stating that you were going to send me to a collection company, when i am not even a member yet until i make my first year's payment. I was/am still thinking if i want to be in your club. I, as of now do not want to belong to your club. I am not as handy as i thought i might be, especially after looking at your magazine, and giving it a good thought.
How can you give me to a collection agency when i have not even sent you anything. Someone might say they want to join, but until they send the fee for joining, they are not officially joined.
A phone number on the letter would be a good thing to have. I hope you get this e-mail, and that someone reads it and responds.

Unauthorized membership!
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!!

Rip off!
I joined Handyman Club of America and sent them the membership fee that they requested. But they have not kept up their end of the agreement. They were to send me tools to try. I have received NONE! What I have gotten is a paper note pad, carpenters pencil and a measuring tape which looks like something you could buy at a Dollar Store for a buck. The real kicker is they keep sending me statements wanting me to become a lifetime member, I would like to know (A Lifetime Member of WHAT?) There is no phone number that I can find where you can actually talk to someone. They also sent me a book that I did not order, I thought it was a gift from them and weeks later got a bill for it in the mail. I went ahead and paid for the book and sent them a cancellation in writing. It was not long until another book came.
Very Frustrated,
Jody.
P.S. DON'T JOIN THIS CLUB!!!

membership
On 9-4-07 I sent a check to them for $12.95 for a one year membership. Membership # 07288278. My check # is 13474 & this check has cleared the bank so they received my money. I send them a letter on 11-13-07 informing them that something was wrong with them. The only thing that I just received from them was another bill today. They don't have a phone # or I would call them for a answer. I hope this does not fall on closed ears.I will be waiting to hear from you.

Never signed up for this and now being threatened
This is a total scam judging from other people. I never signed up for this and am being threatened with collections. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and will also be contacting my local attorney general.

Unordered books
I too was taken in at first by the Handyman Club , but soon found that was just a way to sell books that I don't want. When they sent me a renewal I never sent it back, but more came, I then sent one back with cancel my subscription on it. I thought that had taken care of it but have since recieved two more from them. I am FED UP with this so called club to no end. What does a person have to do to get this club to understand the word cancel or I do not wish to renew.

Collections Notice
We received a magazine from Handyman and an invoice saying we would receive our membership package once our payment was received. We wrote cancel on the invoice and sent it back. They sent another invoice saying they had sent us our membership package and payment was past due. We never received anything but a magazine, now by this time two magazines. We once again wrote cancel on the invoice because there isn't any other way of contact on the invoice and mailed it back. Now they are threatening to turn us in to collections. Is this legal and how do you get them to stop harrassing you?

Late notices and numerous calls after book return
I returned an overpriced book as a club member over 6 months ago. I used the return label they provided and even today I continue to receive late notices despite letters, and numerous calls that never get through. I have since tried to cancel membership in this chicken poop club but still get the bills for what has been properly returned.
