THEY COULD HAVE BEEN PROTECTED
BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW
From: Wayne Jordan

Dear Friend:
Moving can be _risky_ business.
You're going to put all your worldly goods on a truck and watch
strangers drive away with them. What goes on the truck are all of the
things that represent your personal _"style"_.
Your furniture. Your TV. Your clothes. Your dishes. Your photo
albums, and collections.
They're _yours_. You worked hard for them. They bring you pleasure.
You're proud of the things you own.
You think you've been a smart consumer because you got estimates
from three moving companies, bought extra insurance and did some of
the packing yourself.
YOUR CAUTION WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
What if the company that delivers your goods is not the company
you hired? What if you are missing furniture? What do you do when the
driver does not know where your missing goods are, since his company
did not pick up the load?
What if the driver wants more money because the weight was
"underestimated" and he has to park his truck half a block away from
your house?
If you don't pay now and _IN CASH_, he will drive the truck back
to the warehouse and add on charges for warehousing fees and storage.
What if you have to run to the bank and make an ATM withdrawal so
you can have a bed to sleep in and pots to cook with? What would you
do if you discover that your new sofa is ripped and some of your
favorite dishes are broken, ruining your set?
On top of it all your CD collection is stolen, and your power tools
are missing.
What if you file a claim for damages and discover that you will
receive only _pennies _ on the dollar for your damaged and missing
goods?
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.
THESE ARE ALL
ACTUAL COMPLAINTS ON FILE.
ACCORDING TO THE COUNCIL OF BETTER BUSINESS BUREAUS, OVER 10,000
COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THESE ARE FILED AGAINST MOVERS EVERY YEAR. AND
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
HERE'S THE REAL INSULT: YOU CAN'T SUE THE MOVER.
THE FEDERAL COURTS HAVE RULED THAT STATE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS
DO NOT APPLY TO INTERSTATE MOVES, AND THE FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RESOLVE CONSUMER
COMPLAINTS.
The law says that if your moving company steals from you and gets
caught, the most you can hope for is to get your goods back. That's
like having your house burglarized, and when the police catch the
thief he doesn't go to jail, he just has to give back what he stole.
Moving companies have little to fear from bullying you around. They
decide what, when and how you will pay. If you have a problem, THEY
make the rules about how you are allowed to file a claim and how much
you can collect.
It comes down to this:
*
ALL THE SALESMAN IS INTERESTED IN IS HIS COMMISSION, AND ALL THE
MOVING COMPANY WANTS IS ITS PROFITS.
*
YOU HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR _YOUR OWN INTERESTS_, BECAUSE NO ONE IS
DOING IT FOR YOU.
Your best protection is to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS and be able to
challenge the moving company with CORRECT INFORMATION at the RIGHT
TIME.
WHAT YOU NEED FOR PEACE OF MIND IS A SYSTEM THAT WILL ENABLE YOU
TO:
*
Know what questions to ask your mover
*
Know what to sign and when to sign it
*
Know when you are being told the truth
*
Know how to avoid overcharges
*
Know what insurance won't cover
*
Guard yourself against dishonest movers My book, "HOW TO PROTECT
YOURSELF FROM MOVING SCAMS AND FRAUDS" is just such a system!
WHY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE ME?
Because I spent over 25 years in the moving claims business. I used
to be the "repair guy" that came to your house after the movers left.
I was an independent contractor, but the moving companies paid my
bill. I was what some would call an "industry insider".
Over the years, I have performed over 20,000 inspections,
estimates, repairs and appraisals for van lines, insurance companies,
retailers, and manufacturers.
That means I have heard "both sides of the story" over 20,000
times.
Along the way, I discovered a pattern of MISSED OPPORTUNITIES:
points at which, if the consumer had taken positive action on their
own behalf, they would have had few problems with their move.
I have labeled these missed opportunities "FATAL MISTAKES", and
there are seven of them.
Making just one of these seven "FATAL MISTAKES" can LEAD TO
TROUBLE.
FATAL MISTAKES numbers 1, 2, and 3 are made before you even hire a
moving company!
