Unethical Predatory business practices by Kathleen Jarnagin, 818-244-8080 ex.1549, and Margaret Sommers, 818-244-8080 ex.1560, management at \"Public Storage\".

David Goldner is currently a homeless artist in Los Angeles trying desperately to turn his situation around. (DavidGoldner.com) But after having to put his belongings in storage for safe keeping, he found out it was \"Public Storage\", the storage facility itself was who he needed protection from!

David explains: And as I looked for \"Public Storage Law suits\", WOW! They are being sued for their business practices all over the country! And now I understand why! This storage company \"Public Storage\" has done nothing but put me in a constant state of prolonged emotional stress with there blatantly predatory and unethical business practices! This stems from non sequitur predatory policies hidden in the small print of their contract, a contract that they unethically claim gives them the right to arbitrarily decide to auction off my personal belongs with literally one days notice. They have already done this to me once before when my storage payment was as little as only 18 days over due! They actually claimed they sold my belongs!

Then told me the they would still give me until the end of the month to pay if I wanted them back! This is just a sadistic business practice that only serves to make their customers miserable!!! And that's exactly what they have done and continue to do to me. This is blatantly a predatory business and an unethical interpretation of the small print in their blatantly self serving service contract. They go out of their way to take advantage of their customers who may be struggling to pay their bills. Public Storage has no ethics what so ever! I have found people all over the internet that have experienced the same treatment from Public Storage that I am now enduring myself.

No one should have to go through this torturous experience with an unethical company like Public Storage. And I would warn anyone who needs a storage not to do business with Public Storage.<\/p>\n","contact":"ArtistBlogs@LAArtsDistrictBlogs.com","link":"LAArtsDistrictBlogs.com","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"Public Storage is being sued all over the country for their unethical and even predatory business practices.

Whether the malicious act was conducted by the local site manager or the corporate work-force at Public Storage headquartered in Glendale, CA., the more distinct and individual people, the greater the likelihood that the Attorney General and District Attorney will pay attention and get involved. Step one would be to file a report with the better business bureau, file a police report for stolen property, and business licensing agencies both local and state. The LA Cnty District Attorney's Consumer Affairs Dept has complaint forms online.
