Camden, the Wilcox County seat, sits near the Alabama River and Millers Ferry, where rentals house mill, farm, school and healthcare workers. ACB helps Wilcox County landlords recover unpaid rent and tenant debt after move out.
Wilcox County lies along the Alabama River in the heart of the Black Belt, and it was created on December 13, 1819, one day before Alabama became a state. Camden is the county seat, and the Wilcox County history of Camden notes the red brick Greek Revival courthouse completed in 1857 and the growth that came with the paper mill at Yellow Bluff and the Millers Ferry Lock and Dam. Pine Hill, Oak Hill, Pine Apple, Yellow Bluff and the Gee's Bend community round out a county of small towns and wide farm and timber country.
ACB helps independent landlords with a few houses in Camden or Pine Hill, small property management companies, apartment complexes, workforce housing tied to mill and timber jobs, and manufactured home communities across the county. We handle unpaid rent, lease break amounts supported by the lease, damage charges beyond the security deposit, utility and fee balances the lease assigns to the resident, and unpaid rental money judgments.
With homes spread across a large rural county, owners rarely have time to drive around looking for a former resident. ACB takes on that follow up so owners can focus on repairs and the next lease.
Wilcox County's rental demand comes from forest products and mill jobs, farming, schools, healthcare and county government, along with residents who commute to larger towns such as Selma. Visitors come for Roland Cooper State Park near Camden, on Dannelly Reservoir, also known as Millers Ferry, which offers some of the best fishing in southwest Alabama and a stop on the Black Belt Birding Trail. Because the rental supply is small, one unpaid balance can wipe out a large share of an owner's yearly income, and residents who leave for work in Montgomery or Mobile can be hard to reach.
ACB follows the FDCPA and applicable Alabama law on every account. Recovering an old balance is like fishing Millers Ferry: patience and the right equipment matter more than luck.
Alabama evictions are unlawful detainer actions governed by the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, Title 35, Chapter 9A, and they are commonly filed in the District Court of the county where the property is located. The Wilcox County Circuit Clerk's Unlawful Detainers page describes the procedures and guidelines for filing these actions in the District Court and states that the landlord may sue for possession of property and for money damages in the same action. Getting the property back and collecting a money judgment are separate outcomes, and ACB helps with collecting.
For property and assessment records, the Wilcox County Public GIS website lists the Tax Assessor and Tax Collector at the courthouse in Camden and provides parcel mapping. For notice, filing, jurisdiction or enforcement questions in a particular case, speak with an Alabama attorney.
Keep the signed lease, a complete ledger, the move out statement with deposit accounting, photos, repair invoices and any judgment in a single file. Even handwritten receipts belong in the file if that is how rent was collected.
ACB provides nationwide service, and skip tracing can help locate former residents who have moved within Alabama or out of state. Location is never guaranteed, but a move to a bigger city does not end the effort.
Often it is. ACB works on contingency, so there is no collection fee unless ACB collects, and a small owner pays nothing up front.
Yes. Older balances can still be placed if the records are in order. Send what you have, and ACB will review the account and begin work.
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 to the credit bureaus twice monthly, and contingency pricing means no collection fee unless ACB collects. ACB cannot guarantee location, reporting or recovery.
As a hypothetical, imagine a Camden owner who rents a house to a mill worker. The worker takes a job in another state and leaves two months of rent and damage beyond the deposit. The owner sends ACB the lease, ledger and move out statement, and we begin skip tracing and outreach while the house is readied for a new family. Like the quilters of Gee's Bend who build something lasting one piece at a time, steady work adds up. Work with ACB to place your Wilcox 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!"
