Life happens and sometimes hardships fall upon customers and they are unable to maintain paying for their unit/s. This can lead to fees and constant collection calls, e-mails messages from All Purpose Storage.
This is why it's important for facility coordinators to reach out and work with the customer in the first 35 days to avoid their account from the auction or collections processing.
​
After the account hits the 45 day mark the account will start the auction processing handled by the Account Resolutions Team (ART).

This team is dedicated to working with the customer and giving them options to avoid the auction that processes typically at 60 days.

Customer choices after 35 days:
1. Pay in full, (all is good)
2. You can set up a payment plan, Keep your stuff 
3. You can pay 1/2 and move out, Keep your stuff
4. You can abandon your unit and we will wipe out your debt Give up your belongings
