Complaints about DVD Purchase Clubs and Music Purchase Clubs

The biggest pitfalls of these types of clubs is many times people are not fully aware of the rules. Many of the "regularly priced DVDs" are priced higher than the same CD's at Amazon.com and other retail outlets. We provide DVD pricing and information on our New DVD Releases Page.

Also there are a number of complaints arou nd the web about Columbia House using "shady" tactics to induce customers to raise the level of their membership or even open a second account.

If you fail to meet the DVD purchase clubs requirements of mandatory purchase, the company will report you to your credit bureau. The report could have an adverse affect on your credit rating.
