Along the Androscoggin River in Berlin and north through Lancaster and Colebrook, Coos County landlords manage rentals across New Hampshire's northernmost county. ACB helps them recover unpaid rent and tenant debt after a resident moves out.
Coos County is New Hampshire's northernmost county, running from the Presidential Range around Gorham up through Lancaster, the county seat, to Colebrook and Pittsburg near the Canadian border. Berlin, the county's only city, sits along the Androscoggin River, and US-2 and NH-16 carry much of the traffic between the river towns and the White Mountains. Rentals here include older multifamily buildings in Berlin, apartments above storefronts in Lancaster and Colebrook, single-family homes in Gorham and Whitefield, and cabins near the trail systems. The Coos County government website lists county departments, including the county nursing homes, corrections and the unincorporated places the county administers.
Advanced Collection Bureau (ACB) works with independent landlords, property management companies, apartment communities, workforce housing owners and manufactured housing communities throughout the county. We help recover unpaid rent, lease-break balances supported by the lease, damages beyond the security deposit, lease-based utility and fee balances, and unpaid rental money judgments. In a region where many owners manage their own buildings, having someone else handle the follow-up saves real time.
Demand in Coos County comes from steady local employment and a growing outdoor recreation economy. Jericho Mountain State Park, a few miles from downtown Berlin, has more than 75 miles of trails that connect to about 1,000 miles of riding across Coos County, and ATV, UTV and snowmobile riders support lodging, repair shops and restaurants that hire local staff. White Mountains Community College has its main campus on Riverside Drive in Berlin, bringing students and staff who need housing. Jobs in healthcare, corrections, schools and the trades round out the renter base. Because the market is small, a single move to Maine, Vermont or southern New Hampshire can leave an owner with a balance and no easy way to follow up.
ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable New Hampshire law on every account. Following a former resident on your own can feel like tracking a moose through fresh snow after dark: the trail is there, but you need the right tools to follow it.
Landlord and tenant cases in New Hampshire are handled in the District Division of the Circuit Court under RSA 540, and a case belongs in the court serving the town where the rental is located. The NH Judicial Branch District Division Landlord/Tenant page describes the process and a free Eviction Diversion Program that offers mediation before filing. It also recommends consulting an attorney, which is the right move for any question about notices, filing, jurisdiction or enforcement in a particular case.
Recovering possession and collecting the money are separate. A landlord can get a unit back and still be owed rent, fees or repair costs, and that remaining balance is what ACB pursues. The Coos County Registry of Deeds on School Street in Lancaster keeps land records such as deeds, mortgages, liens and attachments, with records from 1977 forward available electronically. Property assessment is handled by each city or town, so assessed values come from the local assessing office. Before placing an account, keep the signed lease, a complete rent ledger, the move-out statement with photos and invoices, any judgment, and the last known contact details for the former resident.
Yes. ACB serves clients nationwide and can work accounts where the former resident now lives in another state. Skip tracing can help find a current address, though no location result is guaranteed.
Often it is, because ACB works on contingency and charges no collection fee unless we collect. Small balances add up across a portfolio. Placing them promptly, while contact information is still fresh, gives each account its best chance.
ACB reports eligible accounts to the credit bureaus twice monthly. We review each account before reporting, and not every balance qualifies. For many former residents, reporting becomes a reason to address what they owe.
ACB is a Florida-based collection agency with more than 25 years of experience and clients nationwide. We use skip tracing to help locate former residents, report eligible accounts twice monthly, and work on contingency, so there is no collection fee unless ACB collects. Location, reporting and recovery results are never guaranteed, but you get a professional, consistent process on every file.
Consider a hypothetical case. The owner of a six-unit building in Berlin has a resident who leaves in the spring, owing two months of rent plus the cost of replacing damaged flooring beyond the deposit. The owner sends ACB the lease, ledger and move-out statement, and we start locating the resident and working toward a payment arrangement. It works like a well-marked trail network: once the route is laid out, getting from one end to the other is far easier. Work with ACB to recover unpaid rent in Coos County.

"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!"
