  On 9/25/25 CubeSmart attempted to direct debit my storage unit rent payment from my ************ account. The direct debit was declined by my bank due to insufficient funds. On 9/29/25 CubeSmart direct debited a $30 NSF fee as a result of the initial declined payment. On 9/30/25 I reprocessed the rent payment using my debit card and was charged the same $30 NSF fee on that invoice. I went in person to the storage unit office and was told that the fee was charged by my bank and not cubesmart. I attempted to show them my bank statements clearly showing the direct debit was initiated by AND sent to cubesmart and was in fact not charged by my bank and the staff refused to acknowledge it and refused to investigate. I'd like to note that this is the SECOND occurrence as this also occurred the same way a few months prior (Initial rent direct debit declined by cashapp on 7/24, $30 NSF fee direct debited by cubesmart successfully on 8/1, and then charged same $30 NSF fee on invoice when making re-payment for rent on 8/14. I would also like to note that ******* confirmed that they DO NOT charge NSF fees, as they simply decline the transaction if funds are unavailable.

  I gave the storage people plenty of notice and I am not even required to give notice. No one responds to email. No one answers the phone. Every time I have gone up there since getting my unit no one is in office. After I moved out they charged me for MONTHS and still refused to respond to email. This is fraud at this point. I have emails proving I told them. I also have the lock from the storage unit and pictures from the storage unit on day of move out.

  I rented a storage space at this business. I was told that I could make payments via mail. Now they will not accept payments via mail and demand I pay online with an additional processing fee. I am also now not able to contact the management office at this facility and am re-routed to another office which will not accept payment. This is breach of contract.

  There are a couple screenshots I am attaching.  

  One shows Cubesmart's main page showing payment methods.  One of them is pay by mail - which doesn't work.  I had my bank send two checks to the correct address and they never received the first payment and the second was late according to the location employees.  I also spent around an hour trying to debug why with the company and with Cubesmart customer service, their location manager, and the ****.  I asked their district manager to call me back about it.  I did not receive a call back from the district manager.  Cubesmart will not connect me to the location manager (per theiir 'policy' from what I am told).  I asked their customer service over the phone if I could send payments to another address that would reliably receive payments and was told no.

  I want to make regular monthly payments without autopay - as I was promised I could do when I rented the space.  On Oct 27, I spoke with ***** who refused to provide a payment address, refust to remove the service fee for my payments, and refused to connect me to the management office.  I am out-of-state now and cannot come into the officy by person to make payments.  So now I am forced into a convenience fee to make a payment.  This is a breach of their contract with me in that it raises the price of my rental space.

  Please provide an address to which I can make my payments and refund the service fees I have already paid.

  Spoke to Cubesmart 9/10 was told they would be switching billing date to 15th. Got an email 10/18 stating I was getting a lein fee on unit, in my assumption was only 3 days late. Attempted to call multiple times to no avail.Escalated a ticket thru customer service said theyd have management call Monday. Sent email Monday and Tuesday. Finally Wednesday 10/22 they called. They feel they will not change due date but want to bill me for the date change that did not happen.They methodically waited til 22nd so they had 7 days passed due to overlock my account also. I am constantly lied to and held hostage by this company and it cannot be legal to lie like this.

  I had a locker with cubesmart for approximately one year from July 2024 to July 2025. I tried so hard to keep up on my rent but we were always short on money because we were homeless on and off due to various family circumstances. In July 2025 cubesmart auctioned off all of my belongings. My entire childhood was in that locker. Looking back, cubesmart did not follow the proper lien procedures yet charged me a lien fee even though they didnt actually file a lien in the state of ******** (if they did I want proof but I searched the lien database and did not find any matches). They also overcharged me every month. I was supposed to pay $90 a month but was charged $120 a month every month. Every couple of months they charged me a lien fee even though there was no actual lien. I filed a lawsuit but it was dismissed due to needing to go through arbitration. I just want my stuff back and a refund for the lien fees I was unjustifiably charged for as well as the difference between the $90 and $120 a month when I was told $90 a month in the contract. My parents ashes were in there and everything from my childhood. Im absolutely devastated. I was told after the property was sold that ** relieve back my parents ashes and photos and confidential documents which were located in the locker in addition to anything not of value. The locker was packed. All I recovered was a couple of photo albums.

  I rented two storage units from Cubesmart in *******. In September, I received a notice that my autopay was not honored. As I had given them my bank information for my capital bank account, I immediately called ************ as the notice said *** and I knew there was plenty of money in the account. ************ told me the autopay had not been put through so I called back and spoke to the manager ****. I asked to verify the account information on file and was told only the accounting department could verify it. He said he would send an email to the accounting **** and get back to me right away as they were adding late fees. I also sent him a screenshot showing I had made the payment. **** called back and told me that they wanted to see where it cleared my bank. I told him it obviously did not clear my bank since it was never presented to the bank. I reinterated that if they would just give me the info they have on file, I could figure out what was wrong and fix it . **** said he would send another email. I called **** repeatedly to check on the status as I knew the Oct payment would be coming due soon and I needed to straighten out the autopay. I attempted to go on line and pay the correct billing amount but their app would not allow it as they had already tacked on additional fees. I finally got a call back from **** today stating that as a courtesy, they would give me a one time 50 dollar credit. Not acceptable as they had already tacked on over *************************************************************************** the bank info on file when I first requested it. I want all the fees refunded and if they reported the alleged delinquency to a credit bureau, I want a letter verifying that it was reported in error and should be removed.

  *** received emails from the company stating that my until will not sell until Nov 12th so I am trying to get the funds to pay it before then but I am being threatened that my until will be sold before then and if so I will be willing to sue because I have documentation stating o have until the 12th of November to come up with my balance. I just experienced this with the *************** MD location a few months back with their employees plotting on my storage unit and adding bogus fees and liens to up my amount owed so that I can now afford to save my unit. Im seeking legal counsel now whom has reviewed all of my emails and documents I have received from the company and I am willing to sue for my belongings and harassment due to these conditions. I will provide supporting documentation per my legal counsel directions.

  I went to retrieve some belongings at CubeSmart. There were mouse/rat droppings all over stuff, and I didn't have any food in there. There were also roaches on everything, and I never had roaches.

  At about 9am, my husband entered the storage unit to find that the door of the unit was broken into and a lock was replaced. He went to the store clerk who showed him people entering the facility at 6:55, damaging the unit, robbing the unit and leaving at about 7:10 with black bags in their hands. The clerk (known as Islam) stated that the entered using an employee pin code number. He also admitted that break ins happen all the time. Since the unit is under my name I arrived shortly. The clerk never addressed me. He only spoke in Arabic to my husband. When I spoke to him in English he ignored me. When the police officers came He spoke to them in English and didn't want to provide an information. When I asked to see the camera he denied me. The police had to force him to allow me to see the camera. He then continued speaking arabic to my husband. I then spoke up and told him to stop being a discriminatory towards women. This is not the first time this clerk has been discrimatory towards me.The worst is that this crime happened during his shift and he could not provide the necessary information to me and the police to proceed further. Cubesmart is not securing customers personal property. This an ongoing situation of theft and from what the clerk admits is an inside job. The doors of Cubesmart does not open until 7am. For someone to come before 7am is an employee code. The clerk called the employee in front my husband and I and stated to them that the cops are coming for you. Whether or not it was the employee why would intervene in an investigation. After everything he had the nerve to charge us for the unit that was robbed when we asked to cancel.

  This is my first attempt to try and get some type of resolution. I was renting a storage unit located @ ********************************************. On 10/2/2025 I went to pay my month fees and decided to enter my unit. A352 to my surprise I had been robbed my unit was ransacked. I have not been to my unit in almost 6 months. I usually pay over the phone all fees late charges and the bill. I also pay for insurance on my unit. No one in the facility seems to know what happed to all of my belongings nor were there cameras in the inside of the facility where my unit is located. The lock on the unit was that of the facilities. I called the insurance company to file a report and was told by the manager because there are no records of a burgherly I will most like not be compensated for my stolen property. When I questioned him about why I was paying insurance he stated that he needs to get more information but because no reports of robbery. Ther will not be a payout. Therefore, I have been robbed twice once by the facility again by the insurance company ************* *************** phone # ************** my LR 3 is A378CA51 I still have not gotten a claim # as of yet.
