Fortunately, the law limits the amount of time a negative account, like a debt collection, can be listed on your credit report. The credit bureau can only list past due balance on your credit report for seven years starting from the date of the delinquency. After that, the account should fall off your credit report, even if you haven't paid it. Other collection activity can continue even after a debt has fallen off your credit report.
Ace (tennis) In tennis, an ace is a legal serve that is not touched by the receiver, winning the point. In professional tennis, aces are generally seen on a player's first serve, where the server can strike the ball with maximum force and take more chances with ball placement, such as the far corners of the service box. According to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, this term was coined by the sports journalist Allison Danzig.
1 Ace: A team's best pitcher, usually the first pitcher in starting rotation. 2  Alley: Also called gap; the outfield area between the outfielders.  Around the Horn: A play run from third, to second, to first base.
