My dad is 83 years old and I am attempting to help him with his bills and mail. Recently he got a letter from RMCB, Inc., a collection agency attempting to collect a payment of $301 for Handyman Club of America Lifetime membership. My dad did not authorize a lifetime membership in this club. The letter says he has been "enrolled" since December 4, 2003. My dad has no memory of ever receiving anything from Handyman Club of America.

My dad has trouble hearing on the telephone so I called the telephone number for RMCB, Inc. and got a recording. I entered his pin number and selected the prompt "Did not authorize these charges." I would have appreciated being able to speak to a customer service representative to get some assurance that the problem was taken care of. The letter from RMCB was rude and intimidating and totally inappropriate in a situation where absolutely nothing was ordered and nothing received from this bogus "Handyman Club of America." I am reporting this to the Better Business Bureau.

I got a very rude collections letter from RMCB attempting to collect $301 for a "lifetime membership" to Handyman Club of America. I have never heard of this club and have received nothing from them except for this collections letter. I called the number on the letter and got a recording. I have no way of knowing whether this was taken care of. The Handyman Club of America website requires you to sign up for a trial membership to even get onto the site and they give no phone numbers to allow one to call them directly. This is very frustrating.

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.

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?

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!

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