Complaint Resolution Index (CRI)

Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) Explained The Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) is an indicator on how responsive a company is in addressing and resolving customer complaints brought to their attention by BCA. If they are considering doing business with the company, consumers can use this indicator to forecast the likelihood of having their issues addressed if a problem arises. CRI measures the company's customer satisfaction abilities through BCA’s complaint mediation process.

A variety of factors are considered when calculating CRI. This includes how quickly a company responds to complaints, the number of complaints against a company, whether the company addressed complaint allegations, and the outcome of the complaints. CRI is just a subset of the overall rating for the company. Consumers are encouraged to take into consideration the company's CRI, their overall BCA letter rating and other relevant information about the company so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

Public Storage in Owings Mills bear Reisterstown Road- I'm a senior on a fixed income and my rent at this location more than doubled in little over a year. It started at 85.00 per month and went to 180.00 If I was late the manager would use aggressive collection tactics of calling my phone from multiple different numbers. I parked my work truck there for over a year on a steep hill location that was terrible spot. i tried multiple times to get them to let me move it to a level spot but was unsuccessful. In the end I lost the truck due to high rent . Seems to be poorly run location by management. Resolution Sought I want to know where my truck is located and alert the general public to their crappy business tactics.

I rented a storage unit at this place which had no working light . I was told a light bulb could be ordered for me and it would take some time or I could put my own light bulb in there. I tried my own light bulb and the light still did not work. I notified the property manager who told me a work order could be placed to have the light fixture repaired. I then signed a paper to allow them access to fix the light and had to leave them a key as well. This was approximately two months ago, during this time I called to check the status of repair a few times. One time I was told the repair guy came, broke the key off in my lock, the partial key was removed and the repair guy woild have to return to do the reapir in24-48 hrs and that upon his return a new lock would be placed on my unit and i will be notified to pick up new keys. I called again a few times to check the status of repair guy and finally reached the property manager who told me she was calling the supervisor to check on this and would call me back. Never got a call so i continually called then tried to go place some items in my storage unit to realize my lock had been changed. I was not called to pick up any new keys nor do i have access to a storage unit with my belongings in that i have paid for. I spoke to someone who had an attitude the day after realizing my lock was changed who told me the system is down, she doesnt work at the location, and she would call me back and go check it out. No callback as usual. Resolution Sought Provide me a refund on the days I have no access to my unit and provide me the key to my unit with my belongings in it.
