Q: If a storage unit owner does not follow Arkansas law regarding the auction of my property, is there anything I can do?
I'm absolutely devastated and heartbroken. I went to get some things out of our storage unit at Copper Safe storage today and everything is gone. Thousands of dollars worth of stuff. All my winter clothes, my families winter clothes, all my Christmas decor that I've collected over the years, EVERYTHING. I called and the heartless woman I spoke with said the bill hadn't been paid in 3 months so they sold everything. I've been in and out if the hospital since July and so has my 5 year old. We have had a lot going on and I didn't realize it had stopped coming out of my account after I had to get a new card because of some fraudulent charges on my account. It slipped my mind that the storage needed to be changed over to the new account. My issue is that no one from there followed Arkansas law and sent us a certified letter notifying us of an auction or a problem. I would have made it right instantly. I'm posting so no one gets hurt the way I have been today. I'm so upset
A: Either hire an AR attorney to sue for an injunction, or check into bidding at the sale (without telling anyone of the contents, or forget about it. Apparently you have been wasting your time complaining to the lessor.
