Across the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, where the Quincy Mine shafthouse rises above Hancock and Michigan Tech students fill the hillside streets of Houghton, Houghton County keeps a close-knit rental market. Advanced Collection Bureau helps landlords here recover unpaid rent.
From student apartments in Houghton to older homes in Hancock, Calumet, Lake Linden, and Chassell, Houghton County landlords keep the Keweenaw housed through some of the snowiest winters in Michigan. When a tenant leaves owing rent, Advanced Collection Bureau helps landlords, property managers, and apartment owners recover that residential lease debt.
We serve rental owners along US-41 and M-26, including the neighborhoods tied to the copper mining history preserved by Keweenaw National Historical Park, whose Calumet and Quincy units anchor the county's heritage.
ACB is licensed in Michigan and understands what drives the Houghton County rental market. Michigan Technological University brings a large student population, and the academic calendar means leases start and end in waves every year. Tourism and outdoor recreation add seasonal demand. With so much turnover, some tenants graduate or move away before paying their last month of rent.
Tracking down those balances is a bit like studying the specimens at the A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum on the Michigan Tech campus. It takes a trained eye and careful work to uncover what is really there.
With more than 25 years of experience, ACB uses skip tracing to locate former tenants anywhere in the country, reports balances to the credit bureaus twice a month, and works on contingency, so you pay nothing unless we collect. Imagine a Houghton property manager with four graduates who left owing $3,700 on a student house. ACB located each of them at their new jobs downstate and out of state, reported the debt, and arranged payments that recovered the full balance.
Contact ACB today and start collecting. Like the Houghton waterfront linking the Keweenaw to the rest of Michigan, we connect you with the money you are owed.

"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!"
