Boy have I really learned my lesson with all this. Long story short-I was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 weeks after having my son. After chemo, surgery, and half way through radiation my husband's job was transferred. So-he would come home on weekends, we did this for 6 months. Between recovering from my BC, having a baby/toddler, and not having family in the area-I did not have much time to research most of this. We hired a portable moving service because we had to be out of our house 5 days before we could get into our new one.
We then hired what I am figuring out now a moving broker company. I looked at the FMSCA website, and do believe I am going to file a complaint. I believe they are violating regulations. We got an estimate from them over the phone, and they then "sold" our move to a company near us to pack and unpack us. The broker company did not follow many of the FMSCA regulations from what it seems. I am unable to ride my bike-but the rest of it (like the scratches) arent that bad. I wish I had a lawyer in my family
.
Anyway-I really appreciate the time you have all taken to write a response to help me. Again-stupid, stupid, stupid I am. There are worse things in life, but I sure feel like I got screwed on this whole thing. Thanks everyone!
