What can I do about careless movers who damaged my stuff?

For a company that is not reputable, the offer of additional insurance is basically a scam to get the workers a “tip.”\nIf you have witnesses to their mishandling of you items, you might go to small claims court and get some additional compensation, but without independent witnesses, you will probably loose the case.

Check with a local disaster recovery company. They can tell you the names of who does the really dirty work.

What you need to do is document it, keep a record.   I would file a complaint with the labor board.

Call the city to have them pick it up. You could take it to a dump. Good luck.

Try calling the Goodwill.

Is the package in your name? did you sign for it?\n\nIf it was just dropped there and your name isnt on it then take it to a UPS store...or look in your phone book and tell them to pick it up...\n\nor keep it...UPS isnt federal...so its not a federal offence. :)

You will need to go to small claims. However, as the other person said, the burden of proof is on you. You will need to come up with pictures of the furniture before the maintenance visit and just after the visit. Then you will need to assess the damage and take into consideration the depreciative value of the item if you need to replace it or have a receipt from the place that repaired your furniture.\n\nI'm sure if you aproach the landlord with a resonable monetary compensation, he/she will pay it. If not, then take it to small claims if you think you have a chance of winning. The landlord will probably pay you something so that he/she doesn't have to show up in court.\n\nIn the future, I strongly advise you to be present at home during any repairs to your place. God knows who enters your property, whether they be a panty sniffing pervert or someone who just stole an item you won't notice. I also advise my renters to get renters insurance just in case of situations like this. Also, take pictures of anything of value in your house and insure them.\n\nGood luck.\n\nRegards...

There's a discussion of cleaning at the link below, with a variety of cleaning methods suggested.  But, if the board has been damaged, there may be little you can do.

You cant actually do anything apart from complain to the owner of the property.  If it is squatters and they havent broken in to get there - the owner will then have to serve a court notice on them, take them to court and get an eviction order - all this takes a couple of months at least though.  How about asking the people to shut up - try putting a note through the door. if needs be xx

complain to the health department.  \n\nAlso, I think the city zoning commision (i may be wrong) but there is an agency that can fine them if they do not clean up their property.

Depending on the exact nature of the problem, I would think you could do something through the FBI, or if it is a threat, your local Police Department.  If they are committing fraud, then perhaps the District Attorney could do something about the Post Office Box.  The U.S. Post Office doesn't take very kindly to any type of mail fraud.  Perhaps you should call them for advice.

Report them to the Better Business Bureau or Consumer Affairs... yahoo answers also works well I think...now I know at least :)

You need to call the building or housing inspector who will come out there, take a look at it and order your landlord to make repairs if necessary.  \n\nSmall claims court and lawyers have nothing to do with this.

They can keep all of it simply by stating that there were repairs to the apartment that needed to be complete b4 renting. They usually wont give a list of damages that were repaired. Take pics of all rooms when moving in and b4 moving out. It works to your advantage.Good Luck.

Tape the package back up, use the same packaging material it was sent in to send it back. Send the item back and be sure to get a tracking number.\n\nAlso, call the customer service center and explain the situation. Ask to speak with a manager or supervisor. Be very careful not to give them personal information. Ask them what THEY have on file...do not hand out credit card information or social security numbers. Also ask them who ordered the phone. Be sure to follow all the instructions for canceling the service. \n\nSome companies will send you something claiming that it was ordered and then try to bind you to the service or item. I had this happen when I was working for a company before. They had sent us a book of business listings (basically a glorified telephone book) and claimed we ordered it and owed them 40 dollars. The representative keep arguing with me until I told them I had already sent the package back and gave them the tracking number, then they had nothing to say and let the matter drop.\n\nIt is important to find out who placed the order and what info they have on file...you want to avoid having to deal with this again :-)\n\nGood luck
