The law states "one should have a legal STATE ID valid in person" before any account should be opened, as of date, I have never done business with your organization, which leads me to ask "How did you manage to report this fraudulent account to my credit file with Transunion, Equifax, and Experian credit reports.

Be advised, I have retained legal counsel, and under federal law, you are required to remove this fraudulent account from my Transunion, Equifax, and Experian credit files, as I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, my legal instrument is attached. My lawyer is prepared to file a motion in the court in 8 business days if this account is not removed from my credit file, as I have never done business with your organization and should not be responsible for any fraudulent accounts and information placed on my personal credit files due to my personal information being used against my knowledge. I have also contacted my local police department, as I was advised to.

I was given a membership to golds gym as a gift , I was asked to renew but I was not willing to . They harassed me over the phone . I never stepped foot in their gym again or agreed to renew. The turned this over to collection and aldous and associates has an unpaid mark on my credit for 136.00

On May 15, 2019, I received a letter from Aldous & Associates, a law firm collecting on behalf of Victra Wireless. They claimed I owed $35.81 for early deactivation of a Verizon Wireless service agreement. I have been in perfect standing with Verizon for over a decade and have never deactivated service. I certainly never received any bill regarding such a deactivation. Therefore, this is a nuisance claim I dispute the validity of this, so called, past due debt. Account_Number: Acct No.

Aldous and Associates sent me a letter stating I owed money regarding a VASA fitness membership. I requested a copy of the alleged "contract", which I have received. I have never set foot in a VASA. My minor daughter did 2 years ago, however. A man at VASA, Eric G, FRAUDULENTLY filled out a "sales form", with my name listed as the "Buyer". He listed my date of birth as *** (not even close). He listed my DL as "***" (I have a DL, as did and does my daughter, why would he need to falsify a DL when we each have one? The email address listed belongs to my daughter (again, a minor). Then Eric lists my daughter as the "New member", and lists her birthday (the same as the fraudulent one above, this time with the correct year, which had he done the math he would know she was a minor, and obviously there is a reason nobody's DL# is listed, and a false birthday listed for me: because he wanted to make some money off my minor daughter). The entire contract has places which require being "initialed". Instead they are typed in with the initials "RS". At the end there is a place for a signature. Neither my daughter nor myself signed this contract (my signature is VERY unique), which is essentially beside the point, because my name was typed in by Eric G. There is no real, actual signature, and there is a reason for that: NEVER did I sign my daughter up for a VASA fitness membership, nor myself. When I called VASA, I asked if a minor would be allowed to sign up without a parent present, they said 'no'. They had no answers for the fraudulently listed DL#, lack of signature, and refused to help me. Aldous continues to bill and harass me. As I have told them, I intend to sue VASA, Eric G, and Aldous for the ongoing harassment, which I demand stop immediately, as this is not a valid debt, certainly not one I signed for.

Hello there was recent event that was held awhile ago when the post office sent my family mail and I to different location so when that happen people were using our names and information recently that was resolved somewhat. I don’t understand Why I’m getting charged for a gym that I never attended or attempted to go to. I’m Just 20 year that not really understanding what’s happen are my dad is already in sept paying off the house plus Someone was probably using my address and information on me that can be fined online or recent purchase like from a website also using my email that I’m looking into and seeing blink fitness that I never attended. My email is always full so I never look. I’m not understanding why I’m getting charged $187.06 for no reason be I nevered applied or someone else used my information. I don’t even have that type of money. Please can you help out on this I will be more secure of my information I never went to blink fitness check the records it’s probably say I never gone.

Aldous & Associates, PLLC - has been threatening to report me to credit bureau. I had golds gym membership at Richmond VA, West End location. I moved to Charlotte and paid them 1 time cancellation and monthly dues (As stated in their contract - if you move out 25 miles from the gym location you can cancel your membership for a fee).

For some reason, Aldous & Associates, PLLC started harassing me with collections calls and mails. I called Aldous & Associates toll free number and spoke to a lady. I explained her the situation and she asked me to mail her all the proof I had. I sent them a mail with proof of payments and emails exchange between Golds gym and me. where Golds gym confirmed my cancellation. The statements proved that I paid for the cancellation fee and monthly dues. Today, I received another letter from Aldous & Associates, PLLC. Why am I being harassed? I am planing to contact a Law firm and report Aldous & Associates, PLLC to FTC.

I received a letter from this company for an expired Gold's gym membership payment for my then minor son. I've spoken directly with the gym twice in order to get this resolved. The letter I received is not a valid charge and I have verified as such twice with Gold's gym. (Midlothian, VA - Greg S) Requiring me to dispute a false collection / charge in writing is not acceptable as it is between the gym and the billing / collections company.

I do not have a contract with Golds gym, I do not have a contract with Aldous And Associates nor do I have a financial obligation or debt to these companies. This creditor shows up on Transunion my credit report as a collections account. This account does not belong to me.

Collection agency only notified me of 1 collection account under my child's name and failed to mention the account under my name through Golds Gym. I only received one notice to pay and paid the balance in 8/2018. They are now refusing to remove the collection account off my credit report due to their inaccurate information provided to me. I also received terrible customer service and was interrupted and hung up on twice.

I received a letter from this company trying to collect money from me for an alleged debt to A Wireless. I was directed to their website for more info. Problem with this is there is no avenue to get more info. The only avenue was agreeing to pay the alleged debt. For people who worry about their credit score, the letter and no way to get more info on the alleged debt is a form of blackmail and leads me to believe this company could be scamming people. I think this company should be investigated by government agencies.

if you have the unpleasant and unfortunate opportunity to deal with Aldous firm just go straight the Utah bar association and Utah attorney general no reason to deal with their bullying and incorrect adaption of collection practices

I was notified by credit karma that I had a collection account on my records. I had a perfect score my score dropped 30 points due to the misinformation and disputed account. The information was disputed previously with company blink I went to office and was told not to worry about it. I had no contact with this Aldous firm ever though they state I was called and sent letter. I received no call nor a letter. They are now refusing to remove disputed account a clear violation of fdcpa. The representatives were rude and refused to transfer me to an attorney until I let them know I was in fact an attorney as well.

WORST COMPANY EVER KNOWN TO DEMAND. I feel bad for anybody that has to talk to Aldous & Assocaites. First off I had a membership with *** and signed up in 2016 a year later I get notice I have to pay a maintenance fee which was fine but then I asked a lady on the phone which was recorded to cancel my membership since I decided to go with a different company and she agreed that she will which was again on a recorded line One year later after not being charged once on the same card I had for years I get a notice on my Credit Karma on December 22nd 2018 that I have been put in collections. I called the Layton *** in Utah and asked what was going on, the guy Dre on the phone said he couldn't do much due to my account being canceled and already in collections but said it was weird how all of a sudden my card stops being charged after wards which he said he sees on his computer. He gave me the *** Corporate number and Aldous & Associates information to continue to get the bottom of this, this Lady I did not get her name said usually after the maintenance fee you have to pay for the last remaining month and with there own words they told me after the maintenance fee it looks like my card was put in wrong which I thought was weird because the year prior of that they had my card on file and never once had a problem so I don't understand why they hand to even put in my card number again. The lady on the recorded line said it was their fault they put in the card number wrong and said call Aldous & Associates because it is in collections. I called and I try explaining to this one lady everything that happened, doesn't explain much or tell me how we can resolve this she just makes it seem like I have to pay this and doesn't let me explain and talks over me. Of course I am going to get mad and then she hangs up, I call again and talked to another guy that did the same thing and then all of a sudden explains I have to cancel by signature and this other stuff which has nothing to do about the fact that *** said they messed up and put in my card wrong and it was already canceled. I never once got a phone call, something in a mail or anything that was regarding this. I tried explaining and this guy was constantly repeating that its my fault and I have to pay for it. I don't understand how its my fault when an associate put in my card wrong when it was already on file??? Anyways this guys keeps repeating himself and hangs up on me with no explanation and that its my fault which I don't understand how if *** admitted they put in my card wrong. This is the worst business I have ever talked too and hope companies discontinue their services for how they treat their customers. I will never go to *** ever again and advise other to not go to *** so they don't ever have to deal with this terrible business called Aldous & Associates. I kept asking over and over to bring up recorded phone calls from the past but they wont listen, one guy on the phone from their company cut me off and started asking so Visa or MasterCard and avoiding my question like he was trying to be funny. Not a way to business and hopefully they get put out of business for terrible business. Advise stay away from companies that are associated with these people and complain as much as you can on them to take them down. They don't even deserve a one star they deserve 0.

On November 2017 we hired Aldous & Associates, PLLC LAW Practices (Jeffrey A, Attorney) to help us resolve an Insurance Claim that needed legal attention. For the past Year It has been extremely frustrating the lack of participation and professionalism from Jeffrey A since we started the claim with Western National Insurance. Aldous & Associates, PLLC has made little progress since being hired in representing Us and the lack of professionalism in meeting commitments has placed our claim in DENIAL with THE INSURANCE COMPANY. Our company has suffered severe damages by not having the Insurance Claim be honored with the deadlines, commitments and promises made, these damages add up to $280,000 and also the loss of two important clients. Therefore in order to keep our company active and in business we had to borrow $120,000 in private capital that has allowed us to continue operations after being in business for 32 years. As a result of this lack of professionalism from Aldous & Associates, PLLC, Western National Insurance has send us a DENIAL OF THE CLAIM leaving us very confused and with ZERO credibility for our company from Western National Insurance.
As of today they are stretching the time we still have no indication if Aldous & Associates, PLLC will fix the problem , and has decided to not answer our phone calls or text and even emails leaving us in a terrible situation. His long trips out of the state of Utah and excuses to following up with commitments and promises have placed our company to loose credibility with customers and potential customers in the Sheet Metal manufacturing market.

I signed up with a gym called Riveia Fitness Center back in 2008, that used paramount acceptance for its gym contracts. When I was promoted at my job back in 2009 and moved to chattanooga, TN I was told by Rivera that my contract would be canceled since I moved more than 15 miles away from the nearest gym. I gave them my notice and presumed all was fine. Fast forward to 2018. I now have a collections for $1816 from aldous and associates law firm. The law firm claims I never canceled my account and I owe them a payment in full. I tried to contact the gym to resolve this issue and discovered they have been closed since 2016, conveniently the same time my "debt" was sold to aldous. Aldous also conveniently is in the same town as paramount acceptence. I contacted paramount to inquire about the details of this account and they claim to have no records and that everything was sent to aldous. I contacted aldous and they also have no records.... This whole thing wreaks of a scam and fraud!!!

I have been falsely submitted to them for collections on a false claim as they have not provided me with any information and even stated they did not even have the information or reviewed it. No one can provide a signed contract to confirm I owe this money. I have paid for all services provided yet they claim I owe them money. There is no signed contract by me they can provided that I signd

I got a call today from this company claiming that they are attempting to collect on a debt that I owe to VASA Fitness from 2015! I canceled my membership with said gym in 2015 and paid a cancellation fee, assumed that the debt was paid and I was done. Low and behold over 3 years later I am getting collection calls. I spoke to them and he stated that I needed to provide them with an email stating that the membership was canceled or they wouldn't do anything to help me. I don't know how much is owed or how it is that I owe them ANYTHING. I have no emails from VASA and all of my membership fees were paid IN PERSON which was in Utah and I am now in California. I don't have the same checking account and the only way to find those charges would be to find out the old checking account number. This is absolutely ludicrous, I was never contacted by the company directly to pay any sort of debt but three years later I get this call. I cancelled my membership with them after they charged me $60 for an initiation fee since I was on a month to month membership. I spoke to a representative from VASA, paid the fees (an extra $25) to cancel and assumed it was done. VASA never had my email address so I have no way to prove the cancellation and I don't even have emails from 2015 at all anymore.

In March of this year (2018), I noticed fraudulent charges being posted to my American Express credit card. I filed a fraud report with American Express and they explained to me that it was for a gym company. I explained that at that time I did not have a gym membership with any company. Amex filed the dispute and refunded the fraudulent charges for me. Then the same charges posted again in April and May so I filed another fraudulent charge claim with American Express. I most recently filed my final claim with Amex as the charges continued. I even had to request my account/card information be changed. After changing this card, I started receiving phone calls from Aldous & Associates saying they were collecting a debt I owed to a gym for a membership that existed back in 2012. I have never had a gym membership with a gym in 2012 I went through an identity theft issue with my taxes & social security number. My taxes were filed fraudulently by someone else using my social. They claimed this gym membership is under my maiden name ***. I have tried to contact Aldous and explain this situation. I am currently in the process of trying to get a copy of the fraud report from Amex to send to Aldous. However, I truly feel as though this claim is related to my identity theft situation from 2012. The other concern I have with this company is that if this occurred in 2012, why are the charges only appearing now in 2018?!? Things just aren't adding up to me.

This company is harassing me regarding a debt that I do not owe. They are stating that Club 24 has referred me to their company. I have email confirmation from Club 24 that my membership had been closed, and that I have $0 balance. The onus is on this company to provide verication that I owe this.
