Lake Wedowee and more than 270 miles of shoreline set the tone for rentals in Randolph County, from lake cottages to homes in Roanoke. ACB helps Randolph County landlords and property managers recover unpaid rent and tenant debt after move out.
Randolph County sits in east Alabama along the Georgia line, with the county seat in Wedowee and Roanoke as its largest city. The Randolph County Commission lists U.S. 431 as a major highway, the Tallapoosa River as the major waterway, and Lake Wedowee, with more than 270 miles of shoreline, among its places of interest. Wadley and Woodland round out a county of small towns, farms and lake communities. ACB works with independent landlords, property management companies, apartment communities, student housing owners near the college in Wadley, workforce housing providers and manufactured home communities across the county.
The balances ACB helps recover include unpaid rent, lease break balances the lease supports, damage beyond the security deposit, lease based utility and fee balances, and unpaid rental money judgments. Whether the unit is a lake house near Wedowee or a duplex in Roanoke, an open balance deserves a plan.
Randolph County's rental demand comes from several directions at once. Lake Wedowee draws weekend residents and seasonal renters, and property owners who live elsewhere often lease their homes between visits. In Wadley, Southern Union State Community College serves more than 5,000 students each semester across its Wadley, Valley and Opelika campuses, and some of those students and staff rent nearby for a term or two. Roanoke and Wedowee also sit within reach of jobs across the state line in west Georgia, so households come and go as employers change. Each of those groups brings its own move out timing and its own chances for a balance to be left behind.
An old rental balance is a bit like the lake level behind R.L. Harris Dam: it rarely stays where you left it, and it pays to watch it closely. ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law on every account.
Alabama evictions are unlawful detainer actions under the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, commonly filed in the District Court of the county where the property is located. The Randolph County Circuit Clerk's website lists the courthouse in Wedowee, its office hours, links to district judges and pro se e-notice registration, and it reminds visitors that the clerk cannot give legal advice. A landlord may ask for possession and money damages in the same action, but recovering the property is not the same as collecting a judgment. Collecting the money is where ACB helps.
The Randolph County Revenue Commissioner handles property tax administration, and the office site links to an online parcel viewer and assessment information that can help you confirm details about your own rentals. For any question about filing, notice, jurisdiction or enforcement in a specific case, consult an Alabama attorney.
Keep the lease and renewals, the rent ledger, the move out statement with deposit accounting, photos and repair invoices, and any judgment together in one file. Out of town lake owners in particular benefit from a clean digital copy of each record.
Yes. ACB offers nationwide service, and a move across the Georgia line is common for Randolph County renters. Skip tracing can help locate former residents, although no agency can guarantee a location.
Property management companies routinely place accounts for the owners they represent. Send the management agreement details along with the lease, ledger and move out statement so ACB knows who the creditor is. ACB then works each account under the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law.
ACB reports eligible accounts to the credit bureaus twice monthly. Whether a specific Roanoke balance qualifies depends on the account details, which ACB reviews when you place it.
ACB is a Florida based agency with more than 25 years of experience and nationwide service. Skip tracing can help locate former residents, eligible accounts are reported twice monthly, and contingency pricing means there is no collection fee unless ACB collects. No location, report or recovery is guaranteed on any account.
Imagine a hypothetical owner of a lake cottage near Wedowee who rents it on a twelve month lease to a couple relocating for work. Seven months in, they move back to Georgia, leaving two months of rent, a lease break balance the lease supports, and a damaged dock gate beyond the deposit. The owner sends the lease, ledger, photos and move out statement to ACB, and ACB starts skip tracing and outreach while the owner gets the cottage ready for summer. Like a good marina hand, ACB keeps the lines tied while you tend to the boat. Work with ACB to place your Randolph County accounts.

"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!"
