With Jacksonville State University drawing record enrollment and Anniston serving as county seat, Calhoun County has constant rental turnover. ACB helps Calhoun County landlords and managers recover unpaid rent and tenant debt.
Calhoun County covers Anniston, the county seat, along with Oxford, Jacksonville, Piedmont, Weaver and Hobson City. Interstate 20 crosses the southern end of the county near Oxford, and the foothills of the Appalachians rise to the east. The Calhoun County Commission runs its administration building on Noble Street in Anniston and offers online GIS mapping and tax systems for residents and property owners.
ACB serves independent landlords, property management companies, apartment communities, student housing near campus, workforce housing and manufactured home communities throughout the county. We help recover unpaid rent, lease break balances the lease supports, damage charges beyond the deposit, lease based utility or fee balances, and unpaid rental money judgments. Whether your units are off Quintard Avenue in Anniston or near the square in Jacksonville, a documented balance deserves a plan.
Students are one big reason. Jacksonville State University reports 10,433 students this fall, its sixth straight year of record enrollment, and many of them rent apartments and houses in Jacksonville and nearby Weaver. Graduations, transfers and semester changes produce a steady cycle of move outs. Anniston Army Depot and the medical centers in Anniston add a large workforce, and Oxford's retail and restaurant corridor along I-20 brings shift workers who rent close to their jobs.
That mix means Calhoun County owners deal with both academic calendars and job changes, and balances can pile up on either timeline. Think of it like a fall football weekend in Jacksonville: everything is busy, and small details get lost in the crowd. A forwarding address that never arrives or a roommate who leaves early can turn a routine turnover into a lingering balance. Owners who manage both student rentals and workforce housing often find it easier to hand those files to a collection partner and keep their own staff focused on leasing, maintenance and resident service. ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law on every account.
In Alabama, evictions are called unlawful detainer actions and fall under the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. They are commonly filed in the District Court where the property is located. The Calhoun County court site's District Civil page covers unlawful detainer and eviction procedures and includes an eviction flow chart and district civil forms. A landlord can request possession and money damages together, but recovering possession and actually collecting a money judgment are different tasks. ACB helps with the collecting.
The Calhoun County Revenue Commission maintains appraisal, assessing, mapping and collection departments and links to the county's GIS and tax systems, a useful property and assessment resource. For specific questions about filing, notices, jurisdiction or enforcement, consult an Alabama attorney.
Keep a complete file: the lease and renewals, a rent ledger, the move out statement with deposit accounting, damage photos and invoices, and a copy of any judgment.
Gather the lease, ledger and move out statement and place the account while the details are fresh. Graduates often move out of state for their first job, and ACB's nationwide service and skip tracing can help locate former residents, though location is never guaranteed.
Yes. Unpaid rental money judgments are one of the account types ACB handles. Send a copy of the judgment along with the lease and ledger so the file is complete.
Yes. Property management companies and apartment communities can place accounts in batches. Consistent documentation for each account makes the process smoother for everyone.
ACB is a Florida based agency with more than 25 years of experience and nationwide service. Skip tracing can help locate former residents, eligible accounts are reported to the credit bureaus twice monthly, and contingency pricing means there is no collection fee unless ACB collects. Every account is different, and recovery is never guaranteed.
Picture a hypothetical: a landlord with a fourplex in Jacksonville has two roommates who leave in May owing the last month of rent and a cleaning and repair balance beyond the deposit. The landlord sends ACB the lease, the ledger and the move out statement, and ACB begins outreach and skip tracing while the landlord prepares the unit for August. Like a coach reviewing game film on Monday, ACB works methodically through the details you might not have time for. Work with ACB to start recovering your Calhoun County balances.

"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!"
