Consumer investigator is going to show us how. We get moving complaints all the time. At the same time, the cost of moving is going up. Moving costs across the country are higher. They are about 9 higher. If you didnt get what you paid for, you dont just have to take it. First, start with the mover. The feds say federal regulations require that your mover have an Arbitration Program or a Legal Process to handle arguments. Look in your contract, please. Tell me you have a contract. Look for a paragraph that spells out the process, and then follow it. If that fails and you still think your mover is taking advantage of you, we have one or two more avenues you could pursue depending on where you move. If you move between two states, you can complain to uncle sam. The federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates movers and snap this qr code to start a complaint with that agency. The fm csa doesnt resolve disputes, but it says your complaint may trigger a federal enforcement investigation, and that might just compel an unresponsive mover to work with you.

State agencies generally want the same information the feds do, so if you file a federal complaint, filing a state complaint afterwards might be easy. One last note, if you pay with a credit card, you can dispute the numbers charge. If you do, include that info in your complaint. We are more likely to get your money back.
