Accomplished Movers

I contracted with Accomplished Movers, based in Oak Ridge, NJ after hearing about them on the internet, to move me from Chicago to Los Angeles. They gave me the lowest quote. I wanted to move on July 3rd. They said they could do it. They did not show up. Of course, they were never going to show up because they are a broker.

The next day, July 4th, a Mayflower truck showed up and moved me out fine. I was given a window on my paperwork that said the stuff would be there by July 16th. This kept getting extended and extended and extended. I was told that the truck had broken down in Arizona. My stuff was finally delivered on I believe August 8th by Modern Movers.

On that day I signed the papers they gave me one that said $1285 on it, the contracted amount for the move. But prior to that, I had agreed with Glenn M. over the phone that I should only pay $885, due to how long I had been put out. In November, my credit card was charged the extra $400 by Modern Moving.

Modern Moving refuses to talk to me. I don't know what to do. "I did not want to start my job until I had my things, so I lost at least a week's wages. I slept on the floor for a month, and my shoulder has been screwed up ever since. I have numerous doctor visits for this. I had to eat out for every meal for a month. And I cannot tell you how many phone calls i have made over this matter.

It sounds like Kevin is saying he signed a contact for $1285 and relied on an oral representation that he would pay $400 less. Bad move, Kev. Oral representations are meaningless and if the contract says $1285 you are probably stuck.
