Also send your complaints to the attorney generals of both FL and CA.

Sharon, I have been doing some research and filling out complaint forms with the OIG, Fed. Motor and Safety Carrier Assoc., etc. If you could keep me updated, I would appreciate it. I'm still ready to sue and would love to know the next steps in this whole mess. You are an angel....thanks again.

Progressive Van Lines (sister company of AY Transport) is shut down and awaiting criminal charges at the federal level. If you did sue them, by the time you even got everythng arranged and into court, they'd be tried, convicted, and jailed. There's nothing for you to get from them, anyway. They've hidden their assets very well, and the moving company itself is almost certainly tapped out. Might as well just keep your money and time and wait for the good trial. I'm a victim of them as well, but under AY Transport.

Anyone interested...I am rarin' to go. The BBB has closed the complaint and there is nothing further they can do for us. We are out about $9,000 (over the initial quote). Thanks Susan for the update and website we will try that. I understand they are under a national company Y and T (or something like that) and they just close up shop and start somewhere new under a different name. Please beware. Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Paul, Progressive Van Lines closed up shop soon after they completed your move. Earlier in the summer, they were dealing with an FBI raid on their HQ in San Jose and a Department of Transportation investigation of their owner and manager. Info in this case is still being solicited, so you may want to gether up your paperwork (whatever you might have) and go to this website to file your own story with the Department of Transportation's Office of the Inspector General. http://www.oig.dot.gov/ayvictims/ I got scammed by them, too, and trust me, filling out that form makes you feel a tiny bit better.
