Is Adv Storage fraud?

• Monthly Storage Fees: Customers are billed monthly for the storage units they rent, which can lead to recurring charges if not canceled.
• Late Fees: If a payment is missed, Advantage Storage may impose late fees, which catch customers off guard when checking their statements.
• Purchase of Supplies: Charges can arise from buying packing supplies or locks at the facility, which some users reported did not explicitly mention additional costs upfront.
• Auto-Pay Enrollment: Users might unknowingly enroll in auto-pay options, resulting in unexpected charges each month.
• Legal Fees: In cases of default on payment, some customers have reported being charged legal fees associated with collection processes.
• Reservation Fees: Some customers mentioned paying a reservation fee to hold a unit, which can lead to confusion about whether it’s refundable.
• Insurance Costs: Users are often required to purchase storage insurance, adding an additional charge to their bills.
• Access Fees: Charges for 24/7 access to certain units were noted by some users when they upgraded their access level.
• Overage Fees: If a storage unit’s weight or item limits are exceeded, customers may be charged additional fees.
