Great Value Storage – Allsafe

DO NOT TRUST LOW-​RENT STORAGE UNITS. They prey on the folks with the least amount of money and then dare you to sue them, knowing they have the cash to run out your funds.
Sure, they have a full-​time attorney on staff and they could bury me with legal fees, but I’m really interested in seeing the sales receipt they have for the auction of my unit. They didn’t sell it, they traded it for a car. By law I am supposed to get all the proceeds of any auction after my obligation is fulfilled. ($ 400) So how do they calculate that when there was no SALE? How do they determine the value of the car? I couldn’t sue in small claims court because the value of my stuff was over the $ 10,000 damages limit. The judge however was very sympathetic and wanted to know how they had tried to get in touch with me before the sale of my property. «Did you have his phone number? Did you call him?» The answer is NO. And they were sending me emails showing LATE FEES with ZERO mention of their intent to auction off my stuff.
I assume this is common practice for these guys. Auction off a unit, see what money you can get, keep a legal team on retainer, and once in a while score a jackpot.
I will have my day in court against these folks. And I think the rotten practice may start with the Manager Damien. If he said he called and left a message, but there is no record of that message… Well, we can leave it up the the attorneys. (Bad Attitude.) Contact me if you have questions or want more information.
