From Birmingham to Mobile, Alabama’s rental market has grown steadily in recent years, but with that growth comes the risk of unpaid rent and lingering tenant balances. Advanced Collection Bureau helps landlords, property managers, and apartment communities across the state recover what they’re owed quickly, professionally, and without upfront costs.
Trying to recover unpaid rent in Alabama can feel like driving down I-65 during rush hour near Birmingham—you move a little, stop a lot, and never get where you need to go. That’s where ACB comes in. We specialize in rental debt collection for property managers, landlords, and communities throughout the state.
Whether it’s student housing near the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, multi-family complexes in Montgomery, or coastal rentals near Gulf Shores, our team has the tools and expertise to track down delinquent accounts and get results. We use advanced skip tracing, twice-monthly credit reporting, and professional negotiation to recover balances effectively while protecting your reputation.
ACB is licensed in Alabama and fully compliant with state and federal regulations, so you can trust that your accounts are handled properly. The state’s rental landscape is unique, influenced by college towns, military housing, and steady population growth in cities like Huntsville. With all that movement, unpaid rent is a common challenge for property owners.
Chasing tenants on your own can feel like trying to find a parking spot on a busy Saturday at the Riverchase Galleria—you’ll waste time and energy with little to show for it. With ACB, we do the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on managing and leasing your properties.
With over 25 years of experience, ACB has helped landlords and property managers across Alabama recover millions in unpaid rent. We operate on a contingency basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we collect. Our collectors are trained to navigate lease agreements, move-out disputes, and debt recovery with a balance of firmness and professionalism.
For example, an apartment manager in Huntsville turned to us after tenants left owing multiple months of rent. Within weeks, we had located those accounts, negotiated payments, and recovered thousands of dollars the manager thought was gone for good.
Trying to handle collections alone is like waiting in line at Dreamland BBQ during football season—it’s crowded, slow, and frustrating. With ACB, the process is simple, efficient, and gets you results faster.

"Matt at Advanced Collection Bureau assisted me with settling my debt with a poorly managed apartment complex.
After speaking to him for a few minutes he was able to send me the bill that the apartment complex never did."
"What a pleasant phone call I had with Jim! He was friendly, shared with me new laws regarding medical bills and my credit, as well as taking my bill down.
I paid it off today and on 2/1, it will disappear from my credit report. Woot! Thank you Mr. Richards!"
"Sam was very friendly, had a great sense of humor and actually made the phone call very pleasant.
Forgot I was even paying a collection bill and felt like I was talking to a long time friend. Got to pay off the debt and got an email verification. Hope to never speak to you again Sam!"
