Debt Collection in 

St. Petersburg

With its mix of waterfront apartments, downtown lofts, and growing rental demand, St. Petersburg sees its fair share of tenant turnover. Advanced Collection Bureau helps property managers, landlords, and rental communities recover unpaid balances quickly and effectively.

Rental Debt Collection in St. Petersburg

Collecting past-due rent in St. Pete can feel like trying to drive across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge during a storm—stressful and not for the faint of heart. ACB steps in to make the process smooth. We work with apartment communities, individual landlords, and property management companies to recover unpaid rental debt so your bottom line doesn’t take the hit. Whether your properties are near downtown, Kenwood, or the beaches, our team has the tools to locate tenants and resolve outstanding balances.

We Understand Business in St. Pete

As a Florida-licensed collection agency, ACB is fully equipped to handle rental recovery in St. Petersburg. With a growing population and strong demand for waterfront living, landlords often face short-term renters who move on without settling up. Chasing those debts is a lot like trying to find parking at the St. Pete Pier on a Saturday night—frustrating and time-consuming. That’s why ACB handles the legwork, making sure collections are managed professionally and in full compliance with state regulations.

Why Choose ACB in St. Petersburg?

Our skip tracing methods, regular credit reporting, and contingency-based pricing set us apart. For example, a local property manager near Central Avenue was struggling with a tenant who left town mid-lease. With ACB’s help, the account was tracked and resolved without dragging the manager away from their daily business. Trying to recover debts on your own is like waiting for a table during peak season on Beach Drive—it takes forever. With ACB, the process is fast, efficient, and effective.

"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!"
