Problems You Might Encounter When Trying to Delete PCH Account
Many customers have noted that it's easy to sign up for the avalanche of advertising sent by PCH, both by mail and email, but it's much harder to convince them to stop sending it. Some people recommend simply blocking their email through your email provider, but that doesn't stop the junk mail from showing up in your mailbox.
It can be difficult to get a response by email or filling out their online form, and it may take multiple attempts. You can talk to Customer Service, but people who have tried that route recommend it as a last resort only.
