Does anyone know the legal aspect if say my unit goes up for auction

bwd111 · « **on:** September 28, 2011, 01:57:28 PM »

can the storage compaines post a picture of my belongings on the web for everyone to see what I owned? Now I have a risk of my unit being robed or say my employer see's what I owned and then judges me for my belongings and thinking I'm late on bills and could be in risk of being fired . Just like facebook employers fire employees all the time for a post they make. Makes me wonder if its legal to post pic's of a person belongings. Movieman brought this up in one of my post and its got me wondering if anyone has thought of this before.

I'm lost here. What are you trying to ask? Are you behind on your rent? If not they shouldn't be opening your unit for any reason. If they are doing this, I suggest you find a new storage facility.

No Im not late. But some places post a pic of whats in your unit with you name and entice people to come to the storage facity to bid on there unit.

Lol found moviemans post after posting. Clears up my misunderstanding.

I don't really think they would fire someone of their mess in a storage unit, unless that mess contains rec drugs or sex toys displayed up in the front of the unit, but you would imagine that stuff would be hide in a box somewhere in the unit. Also last time I checked defaulting on a bill was no grounds for termination. If someone wants to try that I hope they have a damn good lawyer.

Two free tips:

1. Pay your bill, and it won't ever be an issue!

2. Don't pay rent on a bunch of crap in a storage locker.......get rid of that stuff!

Usually, by the time they start getting notices, their unit has already been overlocked and/or their access code has been blocked. That's one of the reasons we can still buy an occasional locker that has good stuff left in it!

It all depends on the state you are in and the company. Most of the places in my area post the first initial and last name of the person who has defaulted and a snippet description. Others, the full name and snippet, and yet others just the name. Legally they should be posting the name and a brief description of the contents. They may take a picture to send to the owner but I've not found any websites w/ pictures for the facilities in my area.

example listings of upcoming auctions:
#229, Hillary Caldwell: table, radio, computer
Dorn Margaret Elizabeth unit # 348 all content
111: Cornwell, A.-Storage Containers, boxes and chest.
222 Harmon Jackson

I can tell you from personal experience that when you get into financial difficulties, loss of income, things like groceries, rent or mortgage, gas, car note, car insurance, electricity, phone,water bills take priorty. Everything else gets shoved off the radar screen. It does'nt matter how many notices they send saying they are going to sell your stuff, when you are trying to keep a roof over your head and food on the table, those letters just don't get any attention.

You would think a rational person would take the good stuff out and sell it to make some additional income, but sometimes most of the stuff is personal, family heirlooms, stuff they want to keep, or they have just plain forgotten about how much valuable stuff is in the unit. When you are in a bad financial situation it can get real difficult to make rational decision, and I think we all know from what we find in the lockers that many people were not making good, rational decisions with thier lives before they got into financial trouble.
