Q & A
Who reports to the credit bureau
My gym is sending my account to collections and I'm wondering if that
can ruin my credit. I'm renewing my mortgage and car lease next year,
and really don't want this to affect it. What are the consequences
to this showing up on my credit report. My score is in the high 700's
right now. Thanks!
PS. I enjoy watching your show. I've been feeling pretty bad about
my financial situation lately so it's nice to get some inspiration
and ideas from you!

Okay, why did you let the situation deteriorate to the point where
they’re sending you to collections? Every negative reported on your
credit history has an impact.
That being said, not everyone reports to the credit bureau, and your
gym might be one of those companies that doesn’t. So I don’t have a
definitive answer for you, sorry.
My best suggestion is to settle the account quickly, and then check
your credit history to see what impact the whole thing may have had
on your report.
