In a county as fast-growing as Lee, it’s no surprise that tenant turnover and unpaid rent are regular challenges for landlords and property managers. Advanced Collection Bureau helps businesses across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and beyond recover rental debt with speed, professionalism, and zero upfront costs.
Trying to collect overdue rent on your own in Lee County can feel a lot like crossing the Cape Coral Bridge during rush hour—slow, irritating, and not something you want to repeat. That’s why ACB is here. With over 25 years of experience in residential lease and apartment debt collection, we help rental communities, landlords, and property management teams recover what they’re owed.
From units near FGCU to seasonal rentals in Fort Myers Beach, our collectors know how to navigate lease contracts, skip trace delinquent tenants, and credit report efficiently. We don’t just go after the debt—we do it right, with full compliance and a firm but fair approach.
ACB is fully licensed in Florida, and we know Lee County’s rental market like the back of our hand. With tourism, student housing, and seasonal residency all playing a role, it’s no wonder so many properties experience higher turnover and more skipped payments.
Handling collections solo is like trying to find parking downtown during Edison Festival—it’s possible, but it drains your time and energy fast. With ACB, you don’t have to spend hours tracking down tenants or dealing with legal compliance. We do it all for you, so you can stay focused on your properties.
We don’t charge upfront. We credit report every two weeks. And our skip tracing tools are top-tier. Our team is trained specifically for the residential rental space, meaning we understand move-out statements, lease violations, and how to communicate with past tenants in a way that gets results.
One Fort Myers property manager turned over a stack of aging tenant accounts they had long given up on. Within 30 days, ACB had already recovered more than $4,000 from accounts they assumed were dead. That’s what we do—revive lost revenue with little effort on your part.
Trying to collect rent without support is like kayaking across the Caloosahatchee during a windy afternoon—you’ll get there eventually, but you’ll be wiped out when you do. Let ACB take the oars and steer you toward fast, reliable recovery.

"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!"
