Among the historic homes of Eutaw and the Tombigbee River bottomlands, Greene County has a small but steady rental market, and ACB helps local owners recover unpaid rent and tenant debt after residents leave.
Greene County lies in the west central Black Belt between the Tombigbee River on its western border and the Black Warrior River on its eastern edge. Eutaw is the county seat and largest town, and Boligee, Forkland, and Union make up the rest of the county's communities. Interstate 59 crosses the county near Eutaw and Boligee, U.S. 43 and U.S. 11 serve local traffic, and the Warrior Reservoir draws anglers and boaters. The Greene County Commission describes the county as part of the Tuscaloosa metropolitan area, and Eutaw's Courthouse Square and the 1860 Kirkwood mansion are among the county's many historic places.
ACB works with independent landlords, property management companies, small apartment owners in Eutaw, manufactured home communities, and owners who rent to workforce households employed in manufacturing, agriculture, public service, and health care. We pursue unpaid rent, lease-break balances supported by the lease, damages beyond the deposit, lease-based utility and fee balances including lot rent where the lease provides for it, and unpaid rental money judgments. For owners with only a few units, one unpaid balance can take a real bite out of the year, and ACB can take over the follow-up.
The Encyclopedia of Alabama's Greene County entry lists manufacturing, health care and education, and public administration as the county's largest employment categories, with beef cattle, catfish, timber, cotton, and soybeans among its farm products. The county's information page notes a catfish processing plant, a box plant, a roofing materials plant, and a woodworks plant in Eutaw. Many residents also commute toward Tuscaloosa along Interstate 20/59. Because the housing stock is limited, rentals rarely stay empty for long, but a job change or a move closer to work can still end a lease early and leave a balance behind.
ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law when contacting former residents. Handing an account to ACB is a bit like the cut-off canal at Warrior Dam, which shortened a long horseshoe bend in the river: the destination stays the same, but the route gets more direct.
Evictions in Alabama are unlawful detainer actions governed by the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and are commonly filed in the District Court of the county where the property is located. The Greene County court site's District Civil page states that the District Civil Division handles evictions and unlawful detainers and invites questions to the division specialist. A landlord may request possession and money damages in the same action, yet regaining the rental and collecting what is owed are separate steps, and ACB helps with the collecting. For ownership and assessment questions, the Greene County directory lists the Revenue Commissioner along with appraisal and collection office phone numbers.
Ask an Alabama attorney about notices, filing, jurisdiction, or enforcement in a specific case. Before placing an account, pull together the signed lease and addenda, a rent ledger with every charge and payment, the move-out statement with photos and repair costs, and any judgment. The tenant's application and last known phone, email, and employer help if skip tracing is needed.
Yes. A move to another city, or another state, does not end the effort because ACB works nationwide. Skip tracing can help locate a former resident who did not leave a new address.
No collection fee is charged unless ACB collects. Contingency pricing lets small owners place documented balances without paying a collection fee up front.
Yes, when the lot rent and related fees are part of a residential lease and are documented in the ledger. Include the lease and the payment history so the balance is clear from the start.
ACB is a Florida-based collection agency with more than 25 years of experience and a nationwide reach. We use skip tracing to help locate former residents, report eligible accounts to the credit bureaus twice monthly, and work on contingency with no collection fee unless ACB collects. Location, reporting, and recovery cannot be guaranteed for any account, but each one receives steady and respectful follow-up.
Consider a hypothetical Eutaw owner with three rental houses near the courthouse square. One tenant moved closer to a new job, left with rent unpaid for two months, and left repair costs beyond the deposit. The owner has the lease, the ledger, and dated move-out photos. ACB can place that account, locate the former tenant, and pursue the balance while the owner readies the house for the next family. Work with ACB and let us walk the account forward the way the Eutaw Pilgrimage moves from one historic home to the next: one steady stop at a time.

"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!"
