I live in Florida in a gated community on a cul du sac. Here comes a 80 foot carrier to deliver a car to my neighbor. When the driver went to make the U-turn to exit the street, he use my driveway, mailbox and lawn as part of the street to make the turn.
My mailbox is damaged beyond repair. I know it sounds so trivial, but down here when you live in a deeded community the mailboxes are all the same and are unique in construction. Therefore, it cost approx. $500 to be replaced.
Well, when I got home that evening and saw the damage, my neighbor informed me of what happened and gave my the information on who to contact.
All American Auto Transport, Inc. Is the broker. On their email soliciation which was given to me by my neighbor it states how experienced they are, being in business since 1964. How they use company owned trucks—when, in fact, they used Active Auto Transport to deliver the vechicle. How outstandin there customer service is and that they are full primary insurance (what does that mean?)
Anyway, I called AAAT, who gave me Edmar's number at Active Auto in NJ and this has been going on since May 27th and nobody wants to step up to the plate and pay for the damage to my property.
He blames the driver, whom he says is an independent contractor. The driver admitted hitting my mailbox and has sent a check to the maker of the mailbox but the check bounced. Knowone wants to give me any insurance information. Aren't these people suppose to be insured?
Anyway, it is now July 1st and I am out $500 for a mailbox.
You just can't trust anybody anymore. No one wants to do the right thing. This country's going to hell in a hand basket.
