State: MD

Ok, so I’m looking for a self-storage space not too far from my house. I find one. It’s actually very close. There’s an offer of one month free, so I go there. It was supposed to be for 2 months, so the guy gives me half price for the 2 months, which is the same. I pay for the first month and then put all my stuff in. I had, first of all, lots of stuff like full sized beds(2), and….well pretty much stuff that a 2 bedroom apt would have.

I had lost my not so long ago and needed to move. I thought I would put most of my furniture and stuff in that storage to limit the undesired excess of materials in the other home.
Things started degrading seriously and couldn’t pay for the second month. I tried my best to find any time of work to keep up with payments, but in vain. 4 months past. I was living out of state and couldn’t easily transit due to lack of funds. I manage to have little money to make a trip there so that I can grab as much clothes as possible for fall, which looks more like winter where I am because I moved during summer and thus, only had summer clothes, but I am a tough guy. So, once I got to the storage in Maryland, I typed the code and, to my great surprise, the access was denied. I came 30 mins after everyone was gone. I should have known, but my astonishment was more about them not notifying me in advance. What was I supposed to do? I go back home. The next day, I call them and they say that for the 4 months I owed $626.50 and the minimum I could pay was $486.
**And, I also forgot to tell you that at towards the beginning of the third month, I called them to pay for the 2 month I owed like that it I would only have to worry about the 3rd one. They refused my payment claiming the company don’t do bridge payments and I had to pay for 2/3 worth of the 2 months rent, which was $200 instead of me erasing my 2nd month’s rent debt of $90. That left me with a lot of trouble and made it difficult for me to keep up**

So, while announcing me the minimum amount of money I could pay, they also told me that my stuff were going to be on auction on the 10th of November 2010. They didn’t even tell me that before, they just proceeded without my consent. And I made the call on the 20th of October 2010. I trying to gather the money but it’s hard. I was thinking to propose them to give me access to my storage so i can take some stuff to sell them myself, and also postpone the auction to the end of november and then I would show ‘em crooks the money. Everybody wins in this situation. they have the money and I still have most of my stuff.
They shouldn’t refuse any logical, concrete solutions except if these bastards just want make profit on my stuff.

I’m pissed of because I dont even have a coat or anything against serious cold weather. I had my 50 inch hd tv, xbox 360, furniture, kitchen accessories, lots of nice clothes a good part of them expensive. But most importantly, I had archived all of my school work and some diplomas. I really thought I could go back soon after the first month, but crap started happening.

Can they really auction my stuff even without notifying me? I really need legal advice, if there’s any lawyer or law students among you, I would really appreciate. Even competent people who know how could counter-attack them or find something they can’t do.

thank you so much.
I understand, but they cannot sell for more than I owe, can they?All of my stuff is worth more than $2000, I will owe $800 in November. So they can’t sell everything?!? Once they reached $800 they shoud just give me my things back, no?

I just have to rant somewhere and ask for help putting this into words for my friend. Also, any insight on what is wrong here?

Before you jump to conclusions, I’ve always tried to be a good houseguest by cleaning after myself and offering to help out. Also, my and my friend are in our 20s.
A friend of mine asked me a week ago to come have dinner with her mother and spend the night. We both lack adequate transportation, so staying over is a solution to which many in our circle have resorted. The plan was to have dinner, watch a movie, do an errand in the morning, and then she and mother would be visiting her sister’s and her mother would drop me off by my house, which is a mile from there.
So after getting there by bus, we talked for a bit, and then her mother asked for a bit of help cleaning out the garage. I thought she just wanted help getting something heavy, but she had us digging through various dusty boxes for at least an hour. Nevermind I was in my favorite outfit and dress shoes for the dinner, I thought she really needed to find something. Turned out it was just some Christmas stuff! Also, they threw me some blankets out of the storage boxes to sleep with.
Then we a tiny meal for the three of us of two stuffed portabello mushrooms, a small bit of green beans, and some sliced tomatoes. I was hungry after, but there was nothing left!
OK, normal houseguest stuff I did I’m not complaining about: I prepared the tomatoes, set the table, and washed the dishes afterwards.
By this time, it was about 8:00. My friend takes some medicine at 6:00 that completely knocks her out at 10:00. We were barely able to watch a movie, and she doesn’t remember some parts of it. The longer her mother delayed us, the less time we had. Her mother also interrupted us several times.

I changed the sheets on the collapsible bed/couch, and spent an uncomfortable night because it refused to lie down flat. I had to sleep on a diagonal to keep from rolling out of bed. Still I got up, got ready, had an again too small meal of two pieces of microwaved french toast. I folded my blanket (again, something I normally do). As I was waiting for my friend to be ready, her mom asked me to grab something, and after I got up placed piles of papers and magazines all over where I had been sitting. I had to move one of the piles to have room to sit down again! Finally we left and went out for the shopping errand. I got faint while we were out due to low blood sugar and couldn’t focus on anything.

We got back several hours later at 2:00, and then my friend mentions how her mother was hassling her to clean, so I got assigned to clean the kitchen floor while she vacuumed the living room. Her mom wasn’t home yet. I sighed and cleaned the floor and then settled down with a hand held game while she finished vacuuming. Then her mother came home, and started again on the garage. They both fully expected me to help out, but I was just done at that point. I just stared at them and couldn’t move. It was 4:00, the time I had hoped to be home, and back out in time for 5:00 vigil mass at church, it being Halloween this Sunday. I was just done with it all, my brain wouldn’t work.

So I walked out, telling my friend it all just seemed ridiculous and they should have politely asked me if I could help them clean the garage instead of inviting me to come over for dinner. Her answer was, “Oh she does this all the time.” She promised to talk to her mom about it and walked me to the bus.

Should I be so angry at my friend for how she let her mother treat me? How she treated me? Did I do anything? I don’t want to stop being friends, but in the future I’m not going to spend any more time than necessary at her house.

Also, I don’t want to sound spoiled, but I wish I could explain that you are supposed to treat a guest like an actual guest, not an extra set of hands.
Marc: She was my friend’s mother and I was trying to treat her with respect, because I was raised that way.

Warrior: I am not a child and neither is my friend. I am 26 years old. I brought the movie, and you weren’t paying attention about the mom. She wouldn’t let us actually do anything fun and used up almost all the time before my friend passed out making us clean her garage.

We’re moving and getting a UHaul truck, since we need storage I was considering doing their free month and then moving to a Public Storage unit (which also offers a free month and is cheaper).
