4 years I used their storage unit.
A couple of times I was late on payments during hardship but I always paid the excess fee without hesitation.
My agreement stated I would be refunded if I left the unit before the paid up to date, which I did leave before it was up.
It was brought up with the manager and I was told it would be sent within 7-10 days and that it was sent to head office after being authorised.
I contacted them 10 days later, nothing.
12 days later I was told it was being sent to my 3 year old address via cheque (a payment method I never paid them which is against NSW Fair Trading).
I was told by the manager "You will need to make arrangements with the current occupants of that premises to collect your cheque."
Also "Its interesting that you were happy to leave us hanging for payment month after month and couldn't even be bothered to make contact regularly while we were protecting your goods 24 hours a day and 7 days a week but you seem to expect us to resolve problems of your own making now that you've moved out and are no longer a customer."
Lies, the agreement I signed says otherwise "We have not refused your refund. We have issued it. We are not obliged to do so as your storage fees were a monthly charge, not a weekly or daily one, but we did so out of goodwill anyway."
All of this and not once was I notified by them that my MasterCard wasn't processing their payment so they sent it as a cheque instead.
NSW Fair Trading have been notified and instructed me that they will intervene. read more
