What is the name of your state (texas)

how long can a storage facility charge you after items have been abandoned? i came home from a deployment nov 1 2006 and apparently i had some items in storage which i had forgotten about. i then get discharged from the army and about a week ago i come in contact with my father who was the point of contact for the storage unit apparently and they're still charging me late fees from 3 yrs ago.. im not trying to get away with free storage im just trying to find out how long they can legally charge me until it becomes considered abandoned because im not paying $1000 for a couple of shirts an old laptop that i forgot i even had.

You're still within SOL- it's 4 years in Texas. The company has a right to bill you and your credit will be further damaged if you choose not to pay.

Are you certain it is the storage facility racking up the late fees and not a debt collection company?

Unfortunately most US servicemembers are obligated by the UCMJ to pay civilian debts or face administrative punishment from the military.

Woops missed that you are discharged. Welcome back buddy.
