I am selling my home in FL and relocating to IN. I put a down payment of over $1,800 to the movers. That same day I found out that my home may not sell at this time. So I imediatly called the company to let them know I may need to cancel. I was told at that time this was not a problem that I could cancel at any time and get my deposit refunded. I was anaware at that time that less than 10 days later the buyer would back out of our contract on the house, so I was told to leave the date open, and when I was called to schedule pick-up let them know of the situation. I did as I was told. Later, I recieved a call to schedule pick up time and I told them it would be delayed. So they rescheduled me for a later date. about 5 days prior to the supossed move they called to make sure the date was ok. I told them at that time I was not sure what the person buying my house was doing and I couldn't give them a date. I was told agian that it wasn't a problem I could cancel and still get my deposit back.

The next day I find out that the buyer backed out and I called the moving co. as soon as I could. The day after I left a message with the co. I was called back by the person who had set up my order and he tells me he would get my refund. (that was on Friday) I called the same guy back on Monday he is still saying that I will get my refund. Today, Tuesday I couldn't get in touch with him but I did speak to customer service and they informed me I was not eligble for a refund!! I was apparently supposed to cancel within 5 days of the move date.. I did not have a set move date!! I spoke to a supervisor she said I was to cancel 5 days prior to the first move date, however I first put the deposit down only 5 days before the 1st move date.. And I did call to see if I needed to cancel that day and I was told no I could cancel whenever I found out for sure what was going on and still could get the refund!!

Cancelling your deposit

#2Consumer Suggestion

Tue, January 23, 2007

If you paid by credit card, dispute the charges. Name the person that repeatedly told you the deposit was refundable, even on the fifth day before the contracted pick-up date. They will of course say this person didn't say that, or that they were mistaken, etc.

Be firm and do not let them win.
