I RENTED A U-HAUL FROM A U-HAUL VENDOR BEST VALUE INN IN NEPTUNE, NJ ON DECEMBER 24TH. WHEN I RENTED THE TRUCK THERE APPEARED TO BE NO PROBLEMS. ON THE MORNING ON DECEMBER 26TH AFTER THE TRUCK WAS LOADED I WAS LEAVING MY HOME IN WALL, NJ TO DRIVE TO FORT LAUDERDALE, FL FOR COLLEGE. WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD FORGOTTEN SOMETHING AT HOME I TURNED AROUND. I NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE MAKING AN ODD NOISE WHEN I TURNED BUT ASSUMED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE WEIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED THAT THE SKIRT OF THE TRUCK WAS PUSHED UP AGAINST THE TIRE. I CONTACTED U-HAUL AND THEY SENT OUT A REPAIR SERVICE THEY CONTRACTED WITH. THE REPAIR SERVICE SAID THAT AN AXLE WAS BROKEN ON THE TRUCK WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSE THE TRUCK TO CRASH ESPECIALLY IF I HAD NOT BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING AT HOME. AFTER HOURS LATER WE FINALLY GOT A NEW TRUCK WHICH SET UP BACK RESORTING IN HAVING TO SPEND ADDITIONAL MONEY ON A HOTEL AS WELL AS GAS SINCE WE HAD ALREADY PUT GAS IN THE FIRST TRUCK. I AM GOING AWAY TO COLLEGE AND NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY BUT NOW MORE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS I CAN NOT AFFORD. AFTER WEEKS ON BEING SENT BACK AND FORTH WITH U-HAUL TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE I AM FINALLY CONTACTED BY THERE MARKETING PRESIDENT PAUL KELLY. PAUL TELLS ME THAT IT WAS MY FAULT, THAT I CAUSED THE DAMAGE AND THAT HE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO COMPENSATE ME AND WOULD NOT CONDUCT A FURTHER INVESTIGATION OR RELEASE ANY INFORMATION TO ME EVEN REGARDING AN IN
