I contacted Patriot Moving approx.in April and got a quote from a Sales Rep., Christopher Sariol. I called him a week later and booked the move.in order to do that I had to give him a deposit of $500.00 over the phone. I gave him my debit card number and when I received the actual contract in the mail a week or so later, it had the copy of the transaction of my debit card being processed and approved for the $500.00 deposit.
The move was scheduled for Friday, May 26th of 2005. I had alreay packed all my boxes and notified my landlord I was moving out by that date. I had already taken vacation time as I was moving from San Diego, CA to Biddeford, Maine and was going to drive my car across the country.
2 days before the scheduled move, I get a call from someone named Hector leaving a message that my move was cancelled and that they are refunding my money. 2 DAYS!
I not only want to be refunded my deposit but I also want to be reimbursed the cost of the storage fees and the additional cost of hiring a reputable mover which is what I should have done in the first place. Because this is a holiday weekend, no movers in my area are available for the next couple of weeks. I have to be out of my apartment in 3 days.
I feel they breeched their end of the contract by not fulfilling what they promised to do. I fulfilled my end when they cashed my debit card for 500.00 dollars.
Please help!!
