What do you want to bet that the reason that their customer service and “business principles” are shit is that they realized this was a SovCit from a mile away and are treating them accordingly?
I think most large corporations must have a dealing with sovcits training manual by now.
Next step is coming to terms with no longer owning whatever was in that storage unit.
…next course…
Give up?
Have a lien on my assets
I never really understood what the hell these sovcits say because English ain’t my native language and I can’t understand a word of legalese even in my mother tongue, so I didn’t really bother with it’s English counterpart. Seeing the French word for “link” being randomly used here tell me that all they’re saying is just pure bullshit to sound smart.
Liens are a real thing in U.S. law. I won’t get into the details, but basically it means your property can be seized due to your debts.
I thought US laws only used Latin for it’s brain shattering legalese terms. I make a fool of myself yet again 🥲
Thanks for the info.
I don’t know if that’s always true, but this is not an exception to that.
“right to hold property of another until debt is paid,” 1530s, from French lien “a band or tie” (12c.), from Latin ligamen “bond,” from ligare “to bind, tie” (from PIE root *leig- “to tie, bind”). The word was in Middle English in the literal sense “a bond, fetter,” also figuratively, “moral restraint.” also from 1530s
Lingua latina victoriae!
Lingua my balls!
I work in storage. In my state, if you don’t pay your shit for like 30 days we can put a lien on it. We have to notify. If you continue to not pay it, we advertise twice in the paper, 1 week apart, then we auction you off on a website, where you can buy your own shit. Or if you lose, you have up until the moment the actual winner hands me cash money + deposit to pay your past due and resume ownership. All of this is like on a 90 day timeline.
And he did agree to that when he signed the lease on the storage space. It’s in the actual lease itself. The lease, depending on state, is required to delineate all of the steps. So he knows he is wrong. He knows he owes money. And he’s just mad. Boohoo. Pay your damn bill.
It’s funny, because that’s probably the most normal and understandable phrase in the entire post.
Lien does have a very clear definition, and it actually sounds like they’re using it correctly, amazingly enough.
Basically, they can’t have their stuff back until they pay up.
Certain loans and contracts can prevent you from being able to sell something without the lien being lifted.
For example, if you have a mortgage on a house, or in some cases if you’re paying a contractor to do renovations, you can’t just sell the house out from underneath them and run with the cash. Someone “buying” shit with a lien on it could outright lose it in some circumstances (though it would be pretty hard to get there for land because the process is so protracted).
It’s impressive that you can read their nonsense well enough to pick up on that. Other people have filled in enough context for you, but I wanted to compliment you on your English.
Thank you!
They’re clearly also too stupid to realize how easy it is to cut off the padlock they slapped on there to extract your shit and leave, so they’re really are getting what they deserve either way.
