She was told by a First American Van Lines representative that her items suffered smoke and water damage. Prior to the First American Van Lines truck arriving a representative was still asking for a full payment. Then the payment was reduce and later dismissed.

But, the ultimate tragedy came on Monday-Tuesday when the First American Van Lines moving company offered her a little more than $6,700 for her belonging that were destroyed. She had given them over $2,000 in NewYork. Mrs. Robinson had 2 items on the truck that cost that amount. Her 3 bedroom apartment and all of her treasured belongings were on the truck.The offer was an insult and disgraceful. They made it seem like they were doing her a favor. The law that states that they can pay this amount and get away with destroying a person life need to be changed. Mrs. Robinson is devastated and needs help ASAP.
