The Nottingham, MD William Gildeleon along with his subordinates REPEATEDLY called my disabled aunt a bitch and discriminated against my disabled aunt severely. William was the ring leader of emotionally abusing my aunt and participated in allowing his staff to make a complete mockery of her.
This matter stems from when we shared IRREFUTABLE documentation regarding our service animal catastrophic injury that resulted in amputation surgery which cost us well over $15k. We also shared information about the loss of my aunt'snhusband and baby sister. Despite our extenuating circumstances, both District manager Danny and store manager William has had a long history of speaking to us in a condescending tone then retaliated when we asked to escalate our concerns. We have IRREFUTABLE documentation that proves management, his subordinates REPEATEDLY called my aunt a bitch & made cruel racial connotations on 10/20/2026. Prior to this, we also attempted to reach the manager for a little over a month regarding her late payment & NEVER received a return call. Nor were we given an opportunity to make a partial payment which resulted in more late fees being added to my account while waiting for a manager to call back. Throughout this ordeal, the manager & GM Danny spoke to us in an abusive collections tone. Considering our state of grieving, we had a family representative speak to GM on our behalf. Danny eventually agreed to waive late charges and asked my aunt to pay $528 before 2:00 PM on 10/20/2026. During her visit, I was on the phone and firhanf witnessed William speaking to my aunt in a nasty tone. They informed her that her lock had been cut off which was a complete shock & DEEPLY unsettling because it was already a hardship for our family to pay the bill under my extenuating circumstances. My aunt asked to speak with Danny & was told the property manager who we later learned was William Gildeleon would speak with her. We have IRREFUTABLE documentation that proves William spoke to my aunt in a condescending escalated tone. My aunt politely asked him to please lower his voice & even pointed out other customers were in close proximity. All she wanted was her privacy protected but William continued to speak in a harsh elevated tone. My aunt asked the manager his name he responded my name is on the business card. After my aunt paid the $528, it turns out, the parties used deceitful practices
to get her to makie a large payment with the sole intent of not allowing her to continue her lease. Staff even referred to my aunt's business vehicle as a "mot likely a rental" UNPROVOKED then repeatedly made a mockery of her with the manager laughing when all she INITIALLY wanted was her locked replaced because she absolutely was not notified that they cut her lock off. Staff outright LIED & defamed her character when they called Danny to inform him he could send the non lease renewal which he asked them to do as soon as the payment was made. Again, we have IRREFUTABLE proof of the ENTIRE conversation history.My close family member is an award winning executive news producer at a local news station and we absolutely will explore options to ensure accountability. We drove from California in the midst of our family crisis and we are deeply disappointed with how bad my aunt was treated! Especially the fact that the manager participated in REPEATEDLY calling her a bitch as well as the GM, Danny demanding such an astronomical payment knowing full well he planned in advance to terminate her lease all while the entire team participated in character assassination?! We will NOT back down on seeking accountability until we are satisfied with the resolution. We will do everything in our power to make ALL of these calls go viral because was it really worth laughing and making a mockery out of a vulnerable customer who is grieving the loss of her husband, her baby sister and her service animal...not to mention, her youngest child in a nursing home!! These folks are MEAN and HEARTLESS to the core!! Someday they will endure heart wrenching grief and we hope they will remember how they THOUGHT it was funny to discriminate against us!! read more
