Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/20 I received a notification from my XXXX XXXX account that a collection was added to my XXXX file. The collection agency is ALDOUS AND ASSOCIATES. The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I have been a member of XXXX XXXX since they first opened their facility in XXXX XXXX XXXX over two years ago. I have an auto-payment set up so my account is charged and pays the XXXX XXXX monthly fee. I have never missed a payment. I have been using the gym consistently by scanning my membership ID every single time I enter the facility, and have had no issues with my membership not allowing me access to the gym. 

I have received zero communications from XXXX XXXX that my account is overdue ; no emails, no letters, no texts. I have received zero communications from Aldous and Associates that my account was sent to them for collections until I got the notification that my XXXX file was impacted. 

My credit score has now dropped XXXX points over this XXXX claim that I owe money to the gym, and has serious impact on me now that I am in the process of trying to buy a home. 

Please advise on next steps, and let me know if you require any additional documentation ( not that I have any to share as neither company has reached out regarding any overdue balances ). 

Thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
