Online Reviews for Debt Collection Agencies

Debt Collection Agency Near Me
A "debt collection agency near me" is a general search, when you may require the services of a professional collection agency. Nowadays, the location of a collection agency isn't nearly as important as it once was. Today searching for "debt collection services near me" brings up an almost overwhelming number of choices, and it's highly probable the business you may initially consider isn't your best overall choice.

The other option is to narrow your Internet search by selecting "debt collection agencies near me" based on their reviews. Typically, the higher the number of stars, the better the company, correct? Again, this measure may not be the best way to select a debt collection agency near me.

 

The Internet reviews largely missed the mark when selecting a debt collection agency near me because of the nature of the collection industry.

 

The collection industry is a lightning rod for bad reviews.

 

When was the last time you enjoyed being on the receiving end of a debt collection call? Our guess is close to never. So, it only makes sense that consumers would be highly likely to leave negative reviews of a debt collection agency. Yet, the agency could be very effective at its work and produce the best results for your business.

 

At Account Adjustment Bureau, you will find mixed reviews, and we are very proud of our star rating. When you take a closer look, you will see great reviews from people we have collected from! At AAB, our staff tries very hard to recover your accounts receivable while maintaining your company's goodwill in the marketplace. As you will see, some of the hardworking people with whom we come into contact are thrilled that we help them find a way to tackle their debts.

FAQs For Landlords

At AAB, we have developed a market-tested system to provide landlords and property management firms with the best debt collection services. When a new landlord or management company comes to us after leaving their current vendor, they tend to have a few questions. Some of these include:

As a landlord, what if I don't have all the minimum documentation AAB requires? That will undoubtedly create problems very early in the engagement. After almost 50 years of experience as a collection agency, we know what it will take for a mutually satisfactory outcome for all parties. Documentation is key to a successful outcome. 


I have multiple properties. How can AAB keep the funds collected separated by property for me? Our solution is to create a different client number for each property you have. This way, funds recovered get allocated to the client number belonging to a specific property. Suppose you have ten properties, and AAB collects funds for each building within the remittance period. In that case, we create ten statements and ten Clients Trust checks.

The Best Collection Agency for Landlords

Best Collection Agency for Landlords Michigan
"Will you commingle funds from more than one building?" 

"Do you charge extra to report to the credit bureaus?"

 

"Does your firm deduct your fee from one building to pay for your services owed on another property?"

 

"Does your agency remit each month or wait until there is a larger amount before sending us our money?"

 

We recently had a property management firm in Georgia ask us these questions when they were shopping for the best collection agency for landlords. It is still commonplace that many collection vendors don't consider how their accounting practices negatively impact the customers for whom they work. If this is happening to you, you are not alone.

 

At Account Adjustment Bureau, we go to great lengths to separate funds collected. This segregation ensures that our landlord and property management clients can easily track the flow of funds for each property. Suppose you are an individual landlord managing a single property or a large national property management company managing thousands of doors. In that case, you understand the value of collecting as much rent and expenses as possible. Properties are working capital intensive, requiring constant maintenance and upkeep. Engaging the best collection agency to collect from past-due tenants makes good business sense.

Picking the Right Commercial Collection Agency

Commercial Collections Michigan
When deciding to use a professional collection agency for your past-due commercial collection accounts, there are many factors to consider. Would it be helpful to know that AAB counts many small, medium, and large businesses as customers? Businesses of every size and degree of sophistication find themselves with outstanding receivables. Companies of virtually every size use professional collectors. We’re happy to learn about your hesitations in hiring someone to recover your commercial collections, and happy to provide solutions!

While everyone's ideal scenario is to collect 100% of their money every time, it rarely occurs if you extend credit terms to your customers. Wouldn't it be great if you had a plan in place to deal with the inevitable challenges and work with a partner whose interests are entirely aligned with yours? Those circumstances make working with a professional collection agency much easier.

Common Collection Agency Concerns

Commercial Collections Michigan
We've worked with a multitude of finance professionals and business owners at AAB over the years. Many people who had not considered a collection agency for their commercial collections listed concerns such as:

  • "I worked so hard to get the customer. I'm afraid that by using a collection agency, I will lose them."
  • "Using a collection agency for my commercial collections is too expensive. I'd rather do it myself."
  • "We have a credit manager and staff to collect our commercial collections. We don't need a collection agency."
  • "If I can't collect it - nobody can."
  • "I am the credit manager. If I spend money on a collection agency, I've failed."

Some AAB customers initially felt the same way; however, once they decided to move forward with our collection agency and allowed us to manage their commercial collections, they became much more comfortable. When our customers see that AAB's team treats everyone with dignity and respect, the hesitancy is replaced by enthusiasm to work with us to get the money they’re owed.

Our History as a Collection Agency

Collection Agency Services Michigan
AAB has been providing collection agency services in Michigan since 1973. In the 1970s, collection agency services were simplistic. Our agents used file cards with paper documents attached to the back of the card. Back then, the telephone companies charged a lot of money for long-distance calls – a collection agency's second-largest expense was its telephone bill. Times certainly have changed! 

Today, collection agency services are easily performed from virtually anywhere in the world. While our firm provides collection agency services in Michigan, we also cover the rest of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and beyond. The most common areas we serve include landlords, building supply companies, fuel, equipment, rental companies, and professional service firms. 


Providing collection agency services has changed dramatically since the 1970s. In the 2000s, AAB began providing proactive credit consulting, early-stage collections, customers save campaigns, traditional third-party collections credit reporting, and litigation management.
