Union Springs has served as the Bullock County seat since 1867, and its rental homes matter to every local owner. ACB helps Bullock County landlords recover unpaid rent and tenant debt after a resident moves away.
Bullock County is a small, close knit rental market. Union Springs has been the county seat since 1867 and is the county's only incorporated city, with Midway, Fitzpatrick and a string of rural crossroads communities spread across the farm and timber land around it. The Bullock County Commission meets at the courthouse in Union Springs, and US-82 and US-29 connect the county to Montgomery, Troy, Tuskegee and Eufaula. When a resident leaves owing money, those highways lead in every direction.
ACB helps independent landlords with a handful of houses, property management companies that serve the Union Springs area, small apartment communities, workforce housing and manufactured home communities. The balances we work include unpaid rent, lease break amounts the lease supports, damage charges that go beyond the security deposit, utility or fee balances the lease makes the resident responsible for, and unpaid rental money judgments.
Rental demand here is driven by people who work locally in schools, healthcare, public service, agriculture and timber, and by residents who commute to larger job centers in Montgomery, Troy and the Tuskegee and Auburn area. The Bullock County Revenue Commissioner's site recounts how railroads and cotton warehouses built up Union Springs after it became the county seat, and the town still carries that history in its downtown. With a limited number of rental units, one unpaid account matters more to an owner here than it might in a big metro, and a vacancy followed by an unpaid balance can wipe out a year of margin on a single house.
ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law on every account. Collections in a small county work a bit like a well trained bird dog in a field trial: steady, patient work covers a lot of ground and usually turns up what you are looking for.
In Alabama, an eviction is an unlawful detainer action under the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, and it is commonly filed in the District Court of the county where the property is located. The Bullock County Circuit Clerk maintains an Unlawful Detainers page describing the procedure for filing in the District Court, and it notes that a landlord may sue for possession and for money damages in the same action. Winning possession and collecting the money are separate steps, though, and a judgment on paper is not the same as a payment.
For property and assessment information, the Bullock County Revenue Commissioner office on North Prairie Street in Union Springs handles property assessment and tax records. Ask an Alabama attorney about notices, filing, jurisdiction or enforcement in your particular case.
Keep a tidy file for every rental: the signed lease and renewals, a full rent ledger, the move out statement and deposit accounting, repair invoices and photos, and a copy of any judgment. Those documents are the backbone of any recovery effort.
Often it is. ACB works on contingency, so there is no collection fee unless ACB collects, which makes it practical for owners with one or two units to place an account without spending money up front.
ACB serves landlords nationwide, and skip tracing can help locate former residents after they move. We cannot promise to find everyone, but current contact details and employer information improve the odds.
ACB reports eligible accounts to the credit bureaus twice monthly. Whether a particular account is eligible depends on its details, and reporting is never guaranteed.
ACB is a Florida based collection agency with more than 25 years of experience and nationwide service. We use skip tracing to help locate former residents, report eligible accounts twice monthly, and work on contingency with no collection fee unless ACB collects. Recovery is never guaranteed, but a steady process gives each account a fair chance.
Here is a hypothetical: an owner of three rental houses near Union Springs has a resident who moves out owing rent and leaves damage that exceeds the deposit, then relocates to another county for work. The owner sends ACB the lease, ledger and move out statement, and we begin skip tracing and outreach while the owner lines up repairs. Like the old railroad that once tied Union Springs to the wider world, a good collection process connects a local balance to wherever the debtor ended up.

"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!"
