From Bradenton’s bustling rental neighborhoods to coastal communities near Anna Maria Island, rental property owners in Manatee County face a common issue: tenants who move out and leave rent unpaid. Advanced Collection Bureau is here to help you recover that money—quickly, legally, and without the headache.
Collecting rent from former tenants in Manatee County can feel like trying to drive across the Cortez Bridge on a Saturday—slow, stressful, and full of roadblocks. At ACB, we specialize in rental debt recovery for landlords, property managers, and apartment communities. With over 25 years of experience in the residential space, we know how to get results.
Whether you manage apartments in West Bradenton or townhomes off SR 64, we’ve got your back. Our approach includes skip tracing, credit reporting, and detailed account handling—all done on a contingency basis. That means we don’t get paid unless you do.
ACB is licensed in Florida and knows the ins and outs of Manatee County’s rental market. Between snowbirds, seasonal workers, and students attending SCF, tenant turnover is high, which often leads to unpaid balances being left behind.
Handling collections yourself is like trying to find parking at the Red Barn Flea Market during peak hours—it’s doable, but you’ll burn through time and patience. Our team takes over the hard part while you focus on filling your units and growing your portfolio.
We stand out because we don’t just send notices—we locate tenants, negotiate debts, and credit report consistently to motivate faster payments. And since we only get paid if we recover, we’re highly motivated to succeed.
A Bradenton-area landlord recently handed off a pile of unpaid balances from short-term leases. Within six weeks, ACB had recovered over $6,000 from accounts that had previously been ignored. That’s the kind of return we aim for every time.
Trying to chase debt on your own is like paddling against the tide near Coquina Beach—you’ll eventually make progress, but it’s going to wear you out. Let ACB make the process smooth, compliant, and stress-free.

"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!"
