<prompt> Human: I was just told last night at the gym that I was 2 months past due on my monthly dues and that the debt had been sent to collections. I got a new credit card back in July because my old one expired, and I called and had the credit card updated so they could continue billing me. My wife walked out last night and they casually mentioned to her that we were past due and that the bill 130 had been sent to collections. Turns out they messed up one of the expiration date numbers when inputting the card into their system. They have both our phone numbers, email addresses, physical address and my wife and I are in there 5 times a week at two different times a day and they made no mentioned of this before sending it to collections, apparently the fact that we are past due pops up on their screen every time we swipe in. What are the things I should do to make sure this is fixed and doesnt damage our credit scores we are in the process of getting a house? Thank you.Update: For anyone interested, I spoke with the gym manager, turns out while it was tagged as sent to collections that means it was sent to internal collections which is an internal department to the gym and not a 3rd party collection agency. As to why they did not try and reach out to me the manager flat out said We dont have our ducks in a row. Thank you everyone for your replies, you definitely helped put my mind at ease during the work day.  <response>: I used to manage a gym that had a similar problem of letting bills go to collections. Its a huge joke and they can not and will not affect any part of your credit score. You can even get them to mark it as paid if you call and say you are gym managers name and member name has paid their bill here at the gym. Sounds shady, i know, but these gyms run these cheap prices memberships to scam people in a sense.
