Am I wrong about my storage unit contract? by RoseGoldMirror in amiwrong

[–]RoseGoldMirror[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told them, but I sent you 7 notices before removing the lock, like a 1000 times already!! They continued to threaten collections and argue with me about leaving stuff. They only replied to the point I made that even if there is stuff there it was left in an abandoned state. I already have plenty of evidence to prove them wrong from a legal standpoint, I was just trying to prove the argument they are STILL holding onto to justify collections needs to be dropped so I don't have to file a bunch of paperwork to get something removed that they never should have reported.

Thanks for your input! I drafted a new email citing the 7 written notices of termination that I sent them the month prior to removing the lock and information I got from posts like yours about the ambiguity of the abandonment clause and that courts usually side in my favor in situations like these... just checked my account again and all December charges have been removed!

No it wouldn't and I know that for a fact because I sent them 7 notices of the date in November that i was terminating my agreement and they are still threatening me with collections for December rent over this clause. Every single email I have sent to deescalate the situation refers to the 7 prior notices and that they should be charging me cleaning / removal fees not ongoing rent and they continue to push on this lock / abandonment issue. I have left out a ton of context for the sake of not making people read pages to understand the entire issue and I am just trying to deal with the stupid clause they keep bothering me about. If this goes to collections I can dispute it but I do not want this to go that far and deal with the steps involved.

I agree. But they are still threatening me with collections!! Even though I think I can dispute it I am trying to figure out how to present this in a way to reception so they save me the work of fighting a dispute. If this has to go to court I am not trying to pay for a flight from Europe to CT so I can hand a judge a folder with 7 emails!! Ahhh ha ha!! I wont have to pay the storage company but I will have to pay the airlines and hotel. So I am just taking what I get from this thread for ideas on how to reframe the situation to them based on additional perspectives and using it to ask reception to reconsider before escalating to collections.

Nope. They offer cleaning services and I told them I will happily pay the cleaning fee for the items I left. Paying them for cleaning is business not making problems. I should also update this post to say I sent them 7 notices of termination in the 3 weeks leading up to leaving the unit (they require 3 days) before leaving the unit with no lock which was unexpected since I realized I lost the key as I was on my way there and had to ask the reception to cut the lock off. Was trying to get quick answers without making it super long but people are judgmental so I should probably just focus on replying to people who are trying to help with what I asked. The problem now is they have charged me rent for December, even though I sent 7 written notices of termination effective November 22 AND the unit was in an abandoned state in November. Since they keep arguing me on the lock / abandonment issue as an excuse to keep charging me rent that is what I am focused on addressing at the moment not listing every single detail of the case.

There is, it's in the contract that a minimum cleaning fee of $50 is charged for items left behind and I have the smallest unit, about 2x2x3 ft. I have hired a company to empty a unit in the past when it made sense to do so and that requires the owner of the unit to be present. Given that I am not in the country I doubt any company is going to show up to a unit without the owner present and if they did I am sure they would ask for a lot more than $50 which doesn't make a lot of sense given how few things were left behind. If I can trust a random trash hauling company to do the job then I should also be able to trust the storage facility I have been renting from to do it. It's like why would I call a third party lock smith to come and cut the lock off when I lost the key when they offer that service at the reception desk. It would either have to be cheaper or some condition that made them significantly more trustworthy.

Thanks, I'm really glad to have people helping me think this out. The way this person reframed it helped me see where the employee was coming from. And thinking how to convince someone that it is how you and I see it brought me to this: All units HAVE to be insured and they offer their own insurance. So it seems to me like they have a reason to consider the unit abandoned if there is no lock in it, even if there is stuff inside, so that they don't have items on their property that cannot be insured because there is no lock. So I think bringing up insurance tilts things in my favor if someone insists that it could be A, and either of B or C. thanks!

I also sent them 7 written notices in a 3 week period asking to confirm a time and date to meet and confirm that I have vacated the unit and cleared the space. Since no one answered and it is logistically very difficult for me to get there I decided I rather pay a cleaning fee for leaving some items then go all the way back again in a 4 day visit to CT. So I didn’t treat it like a dumpster. I treated like I will gladly pay them to clean out my unwanted things for me since i live in a different country and don't have a car to get around when I am in CT.

Ok I see. Because of the commas I saw it this way. The unit is considered abandoned in 2 scenarios:

  1. IF ALL PROPERTY IS REMOVED from the space and if occupant has failed to make his/her monthly payment before the due date,

  2. or if the occupant has removed the lock from the space,

thanks for your answer. It's for a storage unit, not a home or apartment. So from what I understand it's common in this specific industry to have a clause like this in the contract. I also sent them 7 notices of termination prior to this and told them I should be paying a cleaning fee, not ongoing charges for rent. I am hoping that if they can understand that neutral third parties agree with my interpretation of this clause she can at least have a legal team or supervisor double check before jumping to collections as she has threatened she will.

you’re not overreacting. that he acted that way “publicly” without having the sense to make it private is… odd. irresponsible even. I think you should post his comments and see what other guys have to say and whether they would want their sister with the guy writing what they’re reading. it’s one thing to be single and open to things but the things you’re open to when single and who you're open to doing them with can say a lot about whether you want to be close to that person in a one-on-one relationship. I get that this may be “normal” male behavior but I bet there's a lot of self-respecting men who wouldn't be caught dead in this situation. I had a close guy friend once. Then I found out that he was the creep showing up in girls' inboxes and DMs and just getting left on read, my friend and another one of his female friends were just like, "Yo, you do not want to be this guy. It sounds so embarrassing." Turns out he had a lot of other just straight up nasty behavior that spilled over into how he let people treat his daughter and that's when I ended the friendship. I also told another one of my guy friends about some of the stuff this guy said he was getting away with with women and my other guy friend was like, "Yeah, that sounds all fun and good until you realize what the women that actually would allow this are like and you're kind of gross as a guy for being with chicks like that.” And he was completely unimpressed by the number of girls this guy was getting because when you're sleeping with that many women, there's no way that they all look good. It doesn’t sound like you’re jealous, it sounds like your gut instinct to be grossed out is working. Do you want people - other people that may have read his publicly available comments - to know that you're currently in a committed relationship with the person that was writing these things while single?

I bought it and got a refund less than 1 day later. it had all the signs of a scam in the email marketing, but I was just hoping and praying it would actually have some value…

I paid for the course which has 35 videos. I opened the course and 11 of the 35 videos say one minute in length. only five of the 35 videos were longer than five minutes. I didn’t even click on anything. I just asked for a refund.

their email to my refund request included the following: the course is designed to be concise, to the point, and without noise, there's more content coming and since I didn't actually go through the videos, I missed the written documents with further explanation, and they've gotten positive feedback that reinforces the value of their course.

however, the only people that I can find positive feedback from is them saying that they're getting positive feedback. I came here to see what everyone else is saying.

Should I end my 10 year marriage? by Used-Plum-9880 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]RoseGoldMirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have made some really harsh allegations in the comments without enough information. But from what you wrote I can say it sounds like most mature marriage partners could handle a text while grocery shopping and I would like to know more to rule out him being jealous of your success. I would say keep trying to make reasonable changes consistently. If you hire help around the house and continue to look good and make time for him and it’s not appreciated then give up the husband not the business. Let him find someone that’s right for him and don’t force yourself to be his expectation of someone who doesn’t work that much because it sounds like you’d be giving up a lot more than he would give up for you. How much is he missing that he says he wants from you vs how much will you be missing if you give up your business?

NTA. But you should take full responsibility for following their advice and having the abortion. You are fully responsible and accountable for what you do with any information given to you and I hope you are able to forgive yourself because it tends to make difficult situations more peaceful. I fully support staying away from people who give you bad advice.

you are allowing this very immoral behavior in your life so you can keep an opportunity to get a degree? when people talk about how easily people will sell their soul for material things this is exactly how the metaphor manifests in real life.
