For those of you that followed my soap opera, tragic, comedy of drama “As the Shade Turns” you’ll know of what I speak.
The “moving” company at the center of my little serial has DENIED any and all claims from my husband and me regarding our recent relocation from Vermont to Virginia.
Yes folks, Caveat Emptor has never been more glaring than in our case!
The trouble is…when a company decides to CHANGE its name to hide the fact that the negative star, negative reviews are the norm…what is a consumer to do?
The only thing I can think to do is this
Company A (as we hired them)
Colonial Van Lines Relocation Division
2000 N State Road 7, Suite 300
Margate, FL 33063
Is non-other than Company B
All State Van Lines Relocation, Inc.
2000 N State Road 7, Suite 101
Margate, FL 33063
Had we been aware (had we been Caveat Emptor), we would have read the reviews of Company B…where the MEAT of it is. The majority of their clients wanted to give NEGATIVE stars, whether it be Yelp or the company’s own website!
Oh to have known…Oh to have CAVEATED OUR EMPTOR!
Oh to have moved our own friggin selves!
Are we done?
Not likely…
Next round…lawyers and banks!
THIS should be fun.
Whoo Hoo!
Meantime? Don’t you DARE even think about hiring these thuggish bozos!
You hear?
(ps) they are BOTH on FACEBOOK. OH GOODIE!
Lawsuit!

We’ve ready spoken with a lawyer (I actually sent him the links to my little serial, chuckle, chuckle). Seems our next step is The Consumer Protection Division of the State of Florida’s Attorney General’s office….so, on we go!

Stick it to em, SB. What a bunch of shysters… seriously, changing names… Don’t you guys have a better business bureau or something?

We do NB…but companies have a choice whether to ‘participate’ or not. If they do not, then the BBB can do nothing. And, no surprise, they do NOT. No sweat though, there are other ways.

No wonder company B changed their name – some super reviews there. Can you give company A as good a review?
