I am currently in California.
I hired movers that are based in Florida to move me from Massachusetts to Los Angeles. I had a contract that stated that I would pay $1303 for 340 cubic ft. I would pay $4.75 per cubic ft. for any additional space needed. My contract also said I had all labor included.
On the day of the move my movers breached their contract and refused to move stuff from my second floor if I didn't give them more money. I wound up moving everything myself and didn't get to supervise the move.
What is worse is when I looked in the moving van my stuff was just thrown in willy nilly and was therefore taking up 860 cubic ft. The movers refused to repack the truck and told me I had to take up the problem with the head office since they were just contractors.
I have written the company two letters and sent them pictures of the storage facility as well as two eye witness accounts stating that the stuff only takes up 375 cubic ft so therefore could NEVER have been the 860 I was charged for.
I have been blown off. The mediation service I am using is getting no where and I want to take them to court, BUT I am trying to find out if I can.
I can't seem to get a straight answer on what venue I am allowed to sue in.
The movers are an Inc. and I have finally found the blanket company they work under "truck process agents of america", so I have an agent in any state they do business to serve the legal documents to. Now it is just a matter of finding out IF I can sue them in California, or if I have to fly back to Massachusetts or Florida.
Please help. I have reached the end of my research ability!
