Marketing after the fact should be consistent.<\/p>\n

Case in point.<\/p>\n

I recently canceled my storage unit at a local storage firm.<\/p>\n

As we held a bond and prepaid a month my account was in debit.<\/p>\n

Awesome.\u00a0 At this point in time I was happy with the service, helpfulness of the company.\u00a0 On my recommend list.<\/p>\n

6 weeks later my account has still not been settled even after numerous emails.\u00a0 They then post a cheque to my old address (even though i explicitly stated when i finished up my address has been changed).<\/p>\n

Now they offer to deposit it into my account.\u00a0 That’s fine.<\/p>\n
