Is Aldoous & Associates a scam?

They’re legit. Aldous & Associates has been in the collections business for 5 years. The company was originally started on September 9th, 2015 and was incorporated on the same day. Additionally, Aldous & Associates has also not been accredited by the Better Business Bureau, but the company has received a “B-” rating from the BBB. Due to the years of experiences and the average BBB rating, it is easy to see that Aldous & Associates is not a scam.  Therefore, the debt which you may have been contacted about is real, and needs to be dealt with. In fact, Aldous & Associates is an ABC certified partner, partnered with MotionSoft, Paramount Acceptance, Jonas Fitness, and ASF Payment Solutions. Even with these forms of certification and partnerships in mind, remember Aldous & Associates still may be in violation of the FDCPA. Therefore, while it is important that you do not ignore the need to resolve your alleged debt with Aldous & Associates, as this could potentially harm your credit and ability to take out future loans, be wary of any suspicious activity where the company could potentially be violating the FDCPA.

According to its website, Aldous & Associates “focuses on debt collection through voluntary means and, if necessary, post judgement work. A law firm where attorneys are affiliated with a nationwide attorney network, A&A is licensed and able to collect across the country.” A&A cites “several advantages in having a law firm pursue the recovery of…past due accounts,” such as “the legal authority that their… office possesses.” For example, “a demand letter on…attorney letterhead has an immediate impact, because those in receipt of the notice understand that a law firm has the ability to take this matter to the next level if not resolved voluntarily.”

Aldous & Associates philosophy is “that every delinquent individual should pay their account in full, and that they have made a commitment and should be held accountable to that commitment.” A&A “realizes …they are not the most popular people, yet…they handle each account professionally, with firmness and respect, …ensuring that each account receives the individual attention needed to exhaust every avenue to attempt to collect the debt.”

In regard to the collection company’s size, according to Zoominfo.com the company has an employee base of 20 people and a revenue of $3 million.  Lastly, according to the Better Business Bureau, the leadership of the company is headed by COO Tyler Rice.

Who does Aldous & Associates collect for?

Aldous & Associates is, “a law firm that specializes in fitness industry 90 day past due consumer collections”. Aldous & Associates writes that the company is founded on the principles of gym friendly service policies, and no cost amnesty programs. Additionally, Aldous & Associates lists their current clients, including, “Crunch Fitness, Gold’s Gyms, Blink Fitness, VASA Fitness and more”. Aldous & Associates BBB profile page includes a description of the company’s services. According to this overview, A&A “attempts to collect consumer debt from…their law office using a call center…. Utilizing sophisticated software, each account is tracked, aged, and updated…A&A’s phone system is integrated with…software and…they record all…calls. A&A primarily collects for fitness centers and cell phone retailers.” Therefore, it is likely that your debt resides in the area of fitness industry collections, more specifically from these listed businesses.

Even with this knowledge about the types of debt Aldous & Associates specifically collects on and the businesses it works with, it is still important that as a consumer you confirm with the collections company about what debt is specifically owed and to whom. Inquiring as soon as possible is the smartest move to make, and if you feel as though this company has breached their FDCPA rights be sure to contact an attorney to help you file a lawsuit.

Can Aldous & Associates Sue Me or Garnish My Wages?

It is illegal for collections companies to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. In the case that the company cannot verify your debt or you may not owe said debt, the collections company would most likely choose not to sue. However, Aldous & Associates can still summon debtors to court and garnish wages after a default judgement. If you find yourself in this situation, it is important that you choose to sue and hire legal aid. The wisest option in this case would be to contact an attorney preemptively to ensure the safety of your assets and rights. Lemberg Law has helped thousands of consumers fight back against these cases of fraudulent collection practices. Call us today to find out how we can help you resolve this issue.

Can you help me file a No Fee Lawsuit against Aldous & Associates?

Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector. Here is a sample complaint:

Complaints against A&A commonly cite problems resulting from attempts to collect debts that have been paid, discharged, or otherwise disputed. In October 2016, a complainant indicated that he was contacted by Aldous & Associates regarding a $200 outstanding debt owed to Diamond Wireless (DW). Allegedly, DW had previously contacted the complainant in June 2016 in an effort to collect a $200 termination fee. The complainant had objected to the fee and requested proof, and DW had sent a 4-page service agreement. The service agreement indicated that “‘customers who have received a discount and then have an interruption or termination of their service agreement… before 185 days agree to…pay DW an early cancellation fee of $200 per service line.’” However, the service agreement also included “a detailed invoice showing that …DW charged… the complainant $507 for the phone, and that they gave him… no discounts.” The complainant “wrote several letters to both DW and A&A,” but they refused to discuss his concerns and continued to insist that he owed the $200. In addition, in response to the complainant’s dispute, “DW sent an edited… 3-page service agreement/invoice to Aldous & Associates” that was different from the “4-page document” DW had sent the complainant earlier “as proof of debt,” and “A&A later mailed this fraudulent document to the complainant as proof of debt. The fraudulent document omitted the discount columns in the invoice” that showed no discount had been given at the time of purchase. When the complainant sent the original 4-page document to A&A, they “sent…a canned letter stating: ‘In response to your letter/fax that we received, we contacted the original creditor, DW, and the agreement you requested was sent to you. Again, the original creditor verified the validity of the debt upon investigation and provided a copy of the agreement, which we sent you in order to substantiate the debt. At this time the debt continues to be assumed valid. At this time, no attorney with this firm has personally reviewed the particular circumstances of your account.’” The complainant also alleged that in addition to dismissing his dispute and ignoring the documentation he had sent to support his objection, Aldous & Associates had continued to make “constant harassing phone calls that are all the same …in which collectors read a script, …won’t listen… or discuss the issues with the service agreement;… just state that…the call is being recorded; and… keep saying that this will affect the complainant’s credit,” allegedly in an effort to upset…, anger,… and record the complainant in this state.”

In response to this complaint, A&A indicated that “upon review of the debt with the original creditor, Diamond Wireless…notified…Aldous & Associates that the file was sent… in error. At this time, the file is deleted and removed.”Aldous & Associates “apologized for any inconvenience.”
