What is the name of your state? California
In short, I hired a moving co. from the local paper to move EVERYTHING I own (about $20,000 worth of furniture, etc.) from one local storage company to another, about 15 driving minutes away.
They picked up my property and NEVER SHOWED UP at the new storage. Even though the managers of BOTH storage companies are witnesses to the time they left the first storage and the time that I waited for them at the second one, the police say it's CIVIL!
The plain fact is I WAS ROBBED! LEGALLY!
They, the moving company, claims THEY were at the new storage and I WASN'T! The manager of the new storage co. even stayed open 1/2 hour late so I could wait for them!
Now they're trying to charge me "storage" and god knows what else. The PUC is trying to help (they've been after these particular crooks for awhile), but what do I do in the meantime? I'm in Los Angeles and by the time a civil suit gets into court, well, I doubt if I'll ever see my stuff again. I could afford the ORIGINAL quote, but now with them adding $100 a day for THEIR storage.....
I was told to sue them. How do you put a monetary value on a teddy bear your daddy gave you when you were 6 years old? He passed away in 1983. It's irreplaceable.
Does anyone have ANY suggestions?
And yes, I now realize I should have babysat them from beginning to end, but I needed to come home & check on my animals. They said they would meet me at the new storage. They lied.
HELP!!!
