      I am reaching out to the BBB with the hope that maybe Iron Mountain can explain to you how they arrived at the figure of $315.72. Even escalations still cannot explain it to me. As impartial as I can be, if I am wrong, then Iron Mountain should explain how I am wrong and back it up with figures to show me. Its just that simple, fair and professional.

      We set up a contract for 3 years to have our files stored. Contract started 4/2021 and ended 4/2024. Upon calling to terminate and retrieve my files I was quoted I would have to pay $11,000 to have the files delivered. I then asked for a quote for me to pick up, and again I was quoted $11,000. I have tried to speak to someone in order to find out why I would need to pay so much. I have paid them monthly $1,000, and have never missed a payment so for me to pay $11,000 to retrieve my files is very disturbing.

      We have stored medical records with Iron Mountain for 20 years. Iron Mountain imposes rate increases intermittently. This has now become too expensive and we no longer have a need to store our records with Iron Mountain. We'd like to withdraw our records. Rather than simply terminating our agreement and paying a reasonable delivery fee, Iron Mountain is charging $7.75 per cubic foot to pull our documents off the shelf, $17.69 per cubic foot handling fee, and a $12.30 per cubic foot permanent withdrawal fee. We have had no say in price increases and cannot extract ourselves from our contract with Iron Mountain without paying these exorbitant fees. These fees do not include delivery.To see our records on-site, Iron Mountain would charge $3.08 per cubic foot retrieving our files. We are willing to walk the documents out and transport them ourselves, but Iron Mountain won't allow this without paying the above fees. We are handcuffed to a price-rising contract with no way out but through their absurd prices for permanent withdrawal.Our annual storage costs are about $36,000.The cost to terminate would also be about $36,000.We'd like to permanently withdraw our documents at a reasonable cost, providing our own transportation. A reasonable cost is in line with the retrieval fees: $3.08 - $7.75 per cubic foot.

      We have used Iron Mountain (Account # ****** for years but they recently doubled their monthly billing charge ($131.72 a year ago to $253.93) to empty 2 consoles once a month. The last Iron Mountain pickup was on 3/5/2024, we cancelled our service and stopped using the containers and informed them. They arranged to pick up the empty consoles one week later on 3/12/2024. This week we received a bill to pick up the 2 empty consoles in the amount of $653.76! I have no objection to pay an amount for the removal of the 2 consoles but this bill is outrageous, particularly as they charged over $250.00 seven days earlier.

      We have reduced our storage with them by 50% and our monthly rates have doubled. Our rates have increased 3 times in about 9 months. They are charging storage for units that were supposed to be destroyed, after charging on average $35/box to destroy records. I have asked repeatedly for a quote to remove all of our records from their facility and haven't received it yet, but their pricing guide from 2 years ago suggests it will cost as much as records destruction.

      My claim is not resolved. I have been working with Iron Mountain to try to resolve the issues. I have been told they can increase our prices as often as they like because we do not have a contract with them. I am attempting to close our account and got a quote that included storage through 7/2025 because we have a contract. They contradict themselves regularly. I did not sign a contract with Iron Mountain ever, so that they are trying to charge me over ****** for contracted storage for 15 months is thievery and they cannot be trusted.

      They've assigned someone to help me. I continue to be overcharged by A LOT. They've charged me for destroying records (per my request) and continue to charge me for storage of these same destroyed records, which equates to almost 400cf - for the last 2 months. I've notified them several times about this. Finally today one of my contacts said they've escalated my billing concerns. I can't sign my termination agreement because they want me to pay in full these overcharged costs. By the way, the cost to get out of business with this company is highway robbery. Destruction of records costs literally 5x what other companies charge. They charge a handling fee, a box retrieval fee, and a destruction fee.

      We've used Iron Mountain for many years. The week of March 11, 2024 we requested boxes be delivered to ** from their record retention. After multiple attempts to get help with customer service, they said we have to pay outstanding invoices to get the hold off our order. We were never made aware of any outstanding invoices. One of the invoices we show as paid and another I wish to dispute but they are holding our boxes ****** until we pay the outstanding. Once paid, I feel I've lost any opportunity to dispute and/or receive credit. I've reached out to customer service multiple times but they don't seem to know anything, leaving us without any recourse.

      We are being told the Hold is still effective by one person on the escalation team due to them not applying credits to the correct invoices and we are being told it is resolved and the hold has been lifted by another escalation team member.  Our account is still on Hold.

      ******' has reached out to Iron Mountain regarding pricing on multiple occassions, as there have been 3 price increases in the last 12 months. When we've inquired or disputed the price changes the customer service department has delayed responding. Our payables department reached out to the rep assigned to the account, with no response. We reached out to customer service and asked that the issue be escalated to our **** *** assignment and response from the rep took nearly 10 months, now they committed to providing discounted pricing for a 2 year agreement, but we haven't received the information or a response from them with the updated pricing and in the interim the pricing has increased again. *** storage pricing went from a rate of ***** in Jan 2023, to ***** in July 2023 and now has increased again to ***** in March 2024. We've also been charged for empty containers, Iron Mountain agreed to remove form our invoice and even issued a credit but now they continue to bill and we need to request credit. We've held payment now for a few months hoping that would bring some sense of urgency to resolving the issues and expressed to their customer service that we needed to get these issues resolved before we could pay the invoices and now they are billing late fees. It is clear the billing practices, timely resolution and customer satisfaction are not very high on the priority list and it has been frustrating and time consuming to try to get this resolved. We've also asked for a report of the invoice detail for the last 12 months in Excel to analyze the data which we have not received a response as of yet.

      A contract was provided to me, I made an adjustment to the price increase, as we were not agreeing to the increase of 10% per year.   I returned the modified agreement to Iron Mountain, they removed the change I made and add a 9% price increase and executed the agreement without any discussion, this is an unethical practice.  Attaching the agreement submitted and the executed agreements to show the change that was made.

      Our company has been a customer of ********************** for over ********************************************* the approx. amount of $800.00 monthly. We are a small, woman owned independent escrow company and due to the current state of the economy, need to downsize and cut costs. We have 267 boxes of escrow files in storage with iron mountain at this time. We recently had Iron Mountain destroy part of our inventory and were charged approximately $7,000.00 to do so. This is a ridiculously inflated price. Due to the previously billed service to destroy the files and the monthly fees, we requested to permanently remove our remaining files on 2-14-24 (we would retrieve our own files) we were given an estimate of $5,040.96 at that time. We contacted them after receiving the written estimate and advised them it was too expensive and out of our budget. We then requested a call from the supervisor to negotiate the fees and payment and NEVER received a call back. Due to lack of response (we were to be called back with in 24 hours), we sent an email requesting a new reduced estimate. After several email responses to our requests, they sent us an email relaying that they were having technical difficulties, They finally emailed me a new estimate for $16,002.82 for 312 boxes (we only have 267 boxes). We called them to let them know we were concerned that their emails had gotten hacked because the responses did not have iron mountain logos on them and the amount had tripled. We asked to speak to a supervisor again, in which they responded there was no one available (we felt we were not a priority) and they would call us back asap when one was available, NO CALL BACK. After another 24 hours we then received an email with a new estimate stating they were going to accept our counteroffer (which I never gave them) in the amount of $5,460.63.This is UNFAIR business practice and extortion. We simply would like to PERMANENTLY REMOVE OUR PROPERTY from their location at a reasonable cost.

      I will be satisfied when Iron Mountain does in fact call us and resolve this issue. They keep dodging our requests for a supervisor to call us in regards to this matter. They gave us an estimate that was at first very high, but to come back with a revised estimate 3x higher than the first and then go back to the first estimate with some added penalty fees to force us to take their ridiculously elevated pricing is poor business practice.

      My company, ********************************* **** has had Iron Mountain shredding service for around 2 years. I paid them initially for several shredding bins to have them shed documents that we had accumulated and then ongoing shredding service every quarter. I noticed last year that our bill had greatly increased, so I called to inquire about it. They were billing us for 3 consoles, when we have always only had 2. They said they would give us a credit, but the credits we got were not correct, so I asked them for itemized statements to show exactly what we paid for since we started. They then re-charged our Am Ex account for every bill we had paid over that past years. I reported the fraudulent charges to Am Ex and they got the charges reversed. I called Iron Mountain and told them that I was cancelling their service due to the fraudulent charges and to come and pick up their consoles. They wanted me to pay an early termination fee of approximately $500 because my contract was for 3 years. I refused. I told them them that I would not pay to end the service due to their fraudulent charges. They reduced the penalty to $154.70 which I agreed to pay it if that was what it would take to take to get rid of their service. I knew that I would have a final bill of the $154.70 and final shredding service which thought would be around $150. I received the attached billing today for $855.63. They added all these extra charges for service that I did not get or agree to. This has been an ongoing battle with them and they have been totally unethical and fraudulent in their billing. I should be able to end a service with a company that has fraudulently re-billed me without all these extra charges. I am a member of the BBB and would like resolution to this situation. I have hours and hours involved with trying to get the fairly resolved, but they keep piling on charges to end this. I have al the emails to and from them if needed.

      FAQ
      The bill I just received is not an acceptable resolution.  I have attached the email that I sent to Iron Mountain on February 15th, 2024.  This whole situation is a result of them overcharging me and when I asked for a detailed billing, the recharged me for every month that I had already paid for almost 2 years.  I asked to cancel my service because of their lack of billing accuracy.  I did not trust that they would not  incorrectly charge my **************** again in the future.   I reluctantly agreed to pay the $154.70 early termination fee plus my current shredding charges just to get rid of their service.  Then they billed me for these huge extra fees that they did not tell me about.  Why should I have to pay any extra fees to cancel their service when they fraudulently were overcharging me over much of the 2 year period and when I  inquired about the charges, they charged my **************** again, even for the initial overcharges?  I think the only fair resolution to this is for me to pay the $154.70 and any shredding charges that I incurred since I challenged the billing.  I should not have to pay for the extra charges that were not explained to me when I  requested to cancel service.
      Regards,

      ****,

      I hope you're doing well today. I left you a voicemail today. First I want to again apologize for any confusion regarding your services and contract. After further review of your account, we have found the charges are accurate. 

      As a courtesy, we waived some of the charges to assist with the amount of the invoice. As stated previously, the price for services is in addition to the Termination fee. 

      Please let me know if you need a copy of your contract to review your pricing and procedures.

      The Termination stands alone and the orders are in addition. The invoice attached is accurate and within the boundaries of your contract.

      I do not accept these charges.  I have repeatedly provided the reason for the complaint to Iron Mountain and the BBB.  Iron Mountain fraudulently charged my **************** account for  approximately 2 years of charges that I had already paid.  Before that, they admittedly overcharged my account for months and when I requested a complete accounting of all past charges,they re-charge me for all the bills I already paid, including the previous overcharges.  I should not have to pay all these termination charges when Iron Mountain is at fault for all of this.  If they are going to continually fraudulently charge my account, I should not be the one penalized for not doing business with them - it should be them. I have sent you a copy of the charges.  I have talked with several people in Iron Mountain's domestic call center and they told me that I shouldn't have to pay these ridiculous charges and they will get to someone that will help, but I keep getting emails from ******************************* stating that the bill is correct.  Can you not do something to take care of this?

      I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service provided by Iron Mountain and to document a series of events that have led to significant inconvenience.On 2/7/24, I contacted your customer service department to request a change in the pick-up location for shredding services from my residence to my office address. This seemingly straightforward request resulted in multiple communications with your customer service representatives, including being directed to contact Office Depot to facilitate the change.Despite cancelling the pick-up order for my residence and specifying a desired pick-up date for my office, I was assured that the change had been processed and that I would receive a confirmation of the same. Regrettably, no such confirmation was forthcoming.To my dismay, on 2/23, the pick-up occurred at my residence, contrary to the instructions I had provided. In an effort to rectify the situation, I once again reached out to your customer service. I was promised a confirmation of the resolution, yet based on my previous experience, I am left with no confidence that this will be received.Furthermore, when I requested to speak with a supervisor after a prolonged wait of 15 minutes without a response, I felt compelled to cancel all of my orders with Iron Mountain.The inability to dependably alter a service address and the lack of consistent confirmation communications are indicative of a broader issue with your customer service operations. Additionally, I sought assurance that my services would be terminated after 2/26 and that no further charges would be incurred. The response from your representativethat this could not be confirmedis unacceptable and inexplicable.I urge Iron Mountain to address these service failures promptly and to provide a clear explanation as to why a simple request cannot be accommodated. Your immediate attention to these matters and assurance of no further charges post the stipulated date is expected.

      No action was given. I was only told that Iron Mountain will review my complaint and get back to me. I want the lock box to be picked up and I no longer want their service. I was told that they would come on 2/27 to pick up the box but I have not received a message to let me know if this has happened. 

      I want it in writing that the lock box has been picked up and that I'll no longer be charged.
