Ive had a storage unit in Erdington…
Ive had a storage unit in Erdington since September 2025. Originally I was given a 6 month discount to price match and offer made elsewhere, however the manager had charged me the full price instead of the agreed discount, so he extended my discount period which should have covered me until June 2026. This was confirmed via email.
I received an email in February to advise me that the full price will be going up in March, so I went into the unit to confirm with the manager, who advised me they would not be able to honor the agreed extension of June.
I explained in that case then I would be due a partial refund of 1 month as he had overcharged me in the original 6 month period and I agreed not to refund, based on the extension period alone.
After some back and forth he advised he would be able to extend it until April, and then the unit would be charged full price from May.
Today I have noticed that I have been charged the full amount instead of the still promised discounted amount.
The majority of the staff are really lovely, unfortunately the manager Dean does not seem competent and doesn't keep agreements that he has made. Most the time he doesn't actually seem aware of what hes actually agreed to. Definitely don't think the manager is as professional as he should be, which lets this unit down.

Hi Ellie,
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.
We are very sorry for the confusion and frustration this has caused. We understand how important it is that agreed prices are honoured and applied correctly.
When you first signed up, the manager was still new in the role and unfortunately some administrative errors occurred while processes were still being settled. The confusion seems to have happened when you received a rent increase email and there was a misunderstanding about how this affected your extended discount.
Because your agreement was a unique arrangement, the discount needed to be manually reapplied, and this was missed. We can confirm that the refund you are owed is now being processed.
We have since put measures in place to make sure manual discount extensions are properly tracked so this does not happen again.
We are sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Good, but needs a little extra.
I have used Access before, so I knew I would get good service. The staff have been friendly and helpful, as always. I would ask that the units be swept/cleaned before people move their stuff in please.

Whilst the staff practice good customer service, getting a refund when necessary was just
awful service. We'd explained that our drop in finances meant we couldnt afford the storage costs we'd planned for and asked for the reservation fee to be refunded, but it was clear we were never going to get it as they kept putting it off. 2 months later, in Feb 25, still no refund, we had to go to our bank who paid it back to us and then the bank took steps to claim it back from Access Erdington.
