Many thanks Pandora for the prompt reply. I can understand the insanely difficult and almost unappreciated role of being in charge of the 1000 clubs. It must be incredibly challenging having to sift through all the gamercards and verify the datestamps of those who completed the achievements legitimately.
Additionally, I've posted a thread of the actual public game where I've unlocked the Veteran gear achievement, so as to provide evidence that it wasn't glitched etc:

Once again, you have my thanks. Keep up the excellent work!
