I put my stuff in here a few months ago, that process was simple. The guy who helped me was great and even told me they dont charge late fees until the 6th day, which I responded to by saying how nice they are for that.
Fast forward a bit, I was having some troubles with finding a new place and ended up spending thousands on airbnbs so I ended up paying my storage late on 5/24. I went into the store because I was paying cash and because I wanted to change my bill cycle to the 2nd of the month because it was set for the 28th, and obviously I wasn't going to be paying it in 4 days and I also was getting my keys on the 30th. So I hired movers for the day after that.
We go up to cubesmart and it's saying I have a balance. What? I literally just changed my bill. She even said she would write a note of the account. Come to find out, she never did.
So I call and tell them how I had to pay 300 to the movers for the time, just to have been locked out. The woman apologized and said she remembers me and that she would wave the late fees which was great because i wouldn't have been able to pay it until i got paid again at the end of the month. I pay it 6/18 and schedule movers for the 29th. Again, went and was locked out, another 300 down the drain. At this point I am feeling so defeated. Fast forward, i pay 232 on 7/30. I thought it was two months billing, nope, they threw a 110 auction fee at me. So at this point i have spent around 700 i wouldn't have had to spend or wasted 1000, had the first girl just done her job.
The GM Angela, says because I dont know who it was and there's no way to confirm, there's nothing they can do... you dont have computer logins? Schedules? Cameras? Nothing to show who is doing what and where?
Also, they called me every single day! I have severe anxiety and that alone is why I had to give other people money to pay my storage online and why I went to a different location to pay in person because these people have caused me extremely emotional distress which I let them know via email. Their response was they were just doing their job, and then to call me from different numbers until i answered. To which I obviously responded negatively to and hungup once they announced themselves.
They must not know anything about how crippling anxiety can be and how I now miss work calls because I'm scared to answer for numbers I do not know in fear of it being them.
When i spoke with Angela today, I asked her for the corporate number, she gave me the 1888 number and then I asked for her bosses name and she hungup on me. I called the 1888 they gave me the correct corp number. I called cubesmart back to again ask for her bosses name, after ignoring my call a dozen times with at least 3 people working, Terrel, I'm assuming, answered the phone as "city morgue" and claimed angela didn't work there.
I have all 3 conversations recorded and I plan on seeing this through until they do the right thing.
***Edit to include that now I am mysteriously locked out of my online account even though my login info is saved in my samsung pass. I wonder who did that. Are you guys children? Seriously. I lost my damn fiance and i just want our shit back so I can try to make a place that he has never and will never be in, feel a little bit more familiar. This shit isn't right. read more
