Between the Tombigbee River and the Mississippi line, Choctaw County rentals serve forestry workers and small town families. ACB helps Choctaw County landlords recover unpaid rent and tenant debt after a resident leaves.
Choctaw County lies in southwest Alabama between the Tombigbee River and the Mississippi line, and its rental market is spread across small towns rather than one big city. Butler is the county seat, with Gilbertown, Silas, Pennington, Toxey and Lisman scattered along US-84 and the state routes that cross the county. The Choctaw County government site points to landmarks like the state's first producing oil well in Gilbertown and the mineral springs at Bladon Springs, reminders of how long people have been coming and going here.
ACB helps independent landlords with rental houses in Butler, property managers who oversee scattered units, small apartment communities, workforce housing for timber and mill employees, and manufactured home communities across the county. We handle unpaid rent, lease break balances supported by the lease, damage charges beyond the deposit, utility or fee balances the lease assigns to the resident, and unpaid rental money judgments.
According to the county's own overview, forestry is by far the most significant industry in Choctaw County, and the woods that cover the county also attract hunters from across the country. Timber, logging and processing jobs bring in workers who rent, sometimes for a season and sometimes for years, and residents also commute toward Mobile, Meridian and west Alabama employers. At the county's eastern edge, the Choctaw County Wildlife Refuge protects 4,500 acres along the Tombigbee River. In a rural market with few rental units, one unpaid balance can take a real bite out of an owner's year, and many owners here manage their properties themselves without office staff to chase old accounts. That is exactly the gap a collection partner fills.
ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law on every account. Tracking down a former resident in timber country is a lot like tracking a whitetail after the season opens: you read the signs, stay patient and keep moving in the right direction.
Alabama evictions are unlawful detainer actions governed by the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, and they are commonly filed in the District Court of the county where the property is located. The Choctaw County Circuit Clerk serves as official record keeper for the District and Circuit Courts, handling civil filings and court records at the courthouse in Butler. A landlord can generally seek possession and money damages in the same case, but getting a judgment is not the same as getting paid, and collecting is where ACB comes in.
For property information, the Choctaw County Revenue Commissioner assesses property and collects taxes from the courthouse on South Mulberry Street, and the Choctaw County public GIS website provides parcel maps. For questions about notices, filing, jurisdiction or enforcement in a particular case, talk with an Alabama attorney.
Keep the signed lease, a full rent ledger, the move out statement with deposit accounting, photos and invoices for repairs, and any judgment together. Complete records make recovery faster.
ACB provides nationwide service, and skip tracing can help locate former residents who crossed the state line. We cannot guarantee location, but a last known address, phone number and employer give us a strong start.
Not always. Many unpaid rent balances can be placed once the resident has moved out and the ledger is final. If you do have a judgment, include a copy, and direct case specific legal questions to an attorney.
ACB uses contingency pricing, so there is no collection fee unless ACB collects. That keeps the cost of placing an account low for small owners.
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 our contingency pricing means no collection fee unless ACB collects. No one can guarantee location, reporting or recovery, and we are upfront about that.
Take a hypothetical: an owner with two rental houses outside Butler has a resident who finishes a timber contract, leaves owing three months of rent plus damage beyond the deposit, and moves to another state for the next job. The owner sends the lease, ledger and move out statement, and ACB begins skip tracing and outreach. Like a log truck headed to the mill, the account keeps rolling toward a destination instead of sitting in the woods. Work with ACB to place your Choctaw County accounts.

"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!"
