With UNH in Durham and the Spaulding Turnpike linking Dover and Rochester to the Seacoast, Strafford County rentals see steady turnover. ACB helps Strafford County owners recover unpaid rent and tenant debt.
Strafford County is made up of three cities, Dover, Rochester and Somersworth, and ten towns including Durham, Barrington, Farmington, Milton, Lee and Madbury. Dover is the county seat, and the Spaulding Turnpike, NH Route 16, ties Dover and Rochester to Portsmouth and Interstate 95. ACB serves independent landlords, property management companies, apartment communities, owners of student and workforce housing, and manufactured housing communities that need help recovering rental balances.
Our work covers unpaid rent, lease break balances supported by the lease, damage costs beyond the security deposit, utility or fee balances the lease assigns to the resident, and unpaid rental money judgments. The City of Dover notes that it was settled in 1623 and calls itself the oldest permanent settlement in New Hampshire and the fastest growing city in the state. Growth brings new housing near the Cochecho River downtown, and it also brings more move outs that need follow up.
The University of New Hampshire keeps its main residential campus in Durham, and students rent throughout Durham, Dover, Lee and Madbury. Many households commute down the Spaulding Turnpike to jobs in Portsmouth and the Seacoast, while Rochester, Somersworth and Rollinsford add their own mix of downtown apartments and multifamily buildings.
Student leases, commuter moves and a fast growing population make turnover a fact of life, and some residents leave with balances still open. Unpaid accounts behave like the tide in Great Bay: they drift out unless someone keeps watch on the timing. ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable New Hampshire law on every account.
Landlord and tenant cases under RSA 540 are heard in the District Division of the Circuit Court. The NH Judicial Branch Landlord/Tenant District Division page describes the process and a free Eviction Diversion Program that offers mediation before a case is filed. Strafford County has two 7th Circuit District Divisions: Dover on St. Thomas Street serves Dover, Somersworth, Rollinsford, Durham, Lee and Madbury, and Rochester on North Main Street serves Rochester, Barrington, Milton, New Durham, Farmington, Strafford and Middleton.
Property assessment in New Hampshire happens at the city or town level. The county level resource is the Strafford County Registry of Deeds on County Farm Road in Dover, the land records office for all three cities and ten towns. Treat it as a deeds and land records source, not an owner search. Getting a unit back and collecting the money owed are two separate tasks, and ACB handles collection. Take questions about notice, filing, jurisdiction or enforcement in a particular case to a New Hampshire attorney.
Before placing an account, collect the signed lease and any roommate or guarantor agreements, a complete rent ledger, the move out statement with deposit accounting, photos and invoices, and any judgment.
ACB can review each responsible party on the account based on who signed the lease and what the ledger shows. Provide the lease, every signer's contact details and any guarantor information. An attorney can answer questions about how liability is divided under a specific lease.
The NH Judicial Branch court directory lists the 7th Circuit District Division in Rochester for the City of Rochester and several nearby towns. Confirm the correct court for your property with an attorney. If you only need to collect money after the tenant has left, ACB can help.
ACB reports eligible accounts to the credit bureaus twice monthly. Eligibility depends on the account details, so reporting is not guaranteed. Accurate balances and clear documentation make the review straightforward.
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. Location, reporting and recovery are never guaranteed.
Imagine a hypothetical landlord with a duplex in Somersworth whose tenant moves to Maine in July, leaving a month of unpaid rent, a utility balance the lease assigns to the tenant, and damage beyond the deposit. The landlord sends ACB the lease, ledger and move out statement, and we begin skip tracing and outreach while the unit is readied for a new resident. Like the Cochecho River running steadily through downtown Dover, a consistent routine keeps the account moving. Work with ACB to place your Strafford 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!"
