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

Beware, this is scam!

Handyman Club of America came out with this deceptive advertisement making you think you were getting some usefull tools to try and you signed up for this trial offer and paid a small amount up front for postage.

Next think I know they were billing me for a $24 subscription to a Handyman magazine. I called in and asked for cancellation back near the first of the year and also sent cancellation notice to them.

I received nothing as far as useful tools, just some plastic items which I don't even know what I done with them. This company has kept sending out these billings for $24 and has turned over to a RMCB Collection Agency.

I consider this a hungry greedy company trying to sell magazines by deceptive practices. Stay away from them or you will get burned.

In a weaker moment I gave in and accepted a free gift of Handyman Magazine. When I was billed for the magazine the notice advised me to cancel in writing if I no longer wanted the magazine. I included a note canceling. Again the following month I got a bill and wrote a note and call on the bill and returned the same results. They have continued to bill me and recently turned my case over to a collection... Frustrating and unauthorized membership to Handyman Club of America

I will try this out. Thanks.

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 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.
