North American Van Lines Interstate Movers Beware!!!! Fort Wayne Indiana

Think that using a major mover and buying Full Replacement Valuation Insurance from that carrier protects your belongings?

Well you are simply WRONG!

I contracted for an Interstate move with North American Van Lines (aka SIRVA) in 2014.

They lost and damaged 32 items listed on my Contract (Bill of Lading).

I had purchased Zero Deductible, Full Replacement Valuation Insruance coverage through North American prior to my interstate move - the terms of this coverage were stated in the SIRVA brochure and were not unclear - if North American lost or damaged my belongings, North American Van Lines insurance protection would pay to repair or replace the lost or damaged items.

I filed a claim with photo documentation taken while the moving crew was present, called the carrier to report the damage while the crew was present, and noted the damages on my Bill of Lading before the crew left.  My claim totalled $3,946.00 for lost and damaged items.  Three months later received a check from North American for $191.03.  No explanation provided.

Eventually I filed complaints with North American Van Lines, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the Indianna State Bureau of Insurance, the Florida State Attorney General's Office for fraud, my Congressman, Patrick Murphy's office, and two BBB offices.

Nothing can be done to assist.....because in the Federal governments' effort to "get out of business", INTERSTATE TRANSPORT IS NO LONGER UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE FEDS!  So nothing short of interstate lawsuits can be done to help consumers who are victim of the fraudulent business practices of interstate movers such as North American Van Lines.

If you find yourself involved in an Interstate move - be afraid, very afraid!

It is time for a class action lawsuit, or a change back to the previous Federal laws governing Interstate moves.
