TRUTH BE TOLD!

My heart goes out to all of you. I empathize with you because I am disabled too with chronic pain.
The day of our NON-move and the day after, I was in excruciating pain...and my husband was in pain....and we also went through that horrible nightmare!
File a complaint with the FMCSA. You will not receive any money, but the company will be heavily fined for any moving violatons. The govt. keeps the fine money!
These bait and switch operations are extremely shrewd! They know how to sweet talk the most saavy or skeptical client and then take advantage. It is all set up from the very first phone call.
They know that lawyers will not take these cases because the amount you paid and the cost of your items would not be enough to have a case worth pursuing. And the case would have to be held in the state that is specified on the back of your contract, to where you would have to travel and pay more expenses...and find a lawyer there. However, the "contract" does not support the clients anyway.
They know the police cannot do anything either.
The only way these no-conscience bait and switch movers can be stopped is if the govt. stops them. And so far, well, if you check back on this site occasionally, you will be reading about more nightmares.
All you can do is keep spreading the word!
