      In June of 2023, I made arrangements to have Interstate Moving (or one of their subsidiaries, in this case, **** *** ****** **** of **************************************************************.) move some of my household goods from ******, **, to *************. I was given an estimate of the moving costs ($4,591.41) and paid a $1,411.54 deposit prior to the July 18th move. Just prior to the move, an Interstate Moving representative named ***, collected another $608.27 as a "buffer" deposit.I also paid the driver $1,285.80 on pickup, the morning of July 18th, and another $1,285.80 on delivery in *************, that evening. Both these payments were in cash; the deposits were paid by electronic check. The move estimate was based on a larger inventory (more items) than were actually moved--and, as a result, less space than anticipated was actually used in the **** truck.Despite the pre-negotiated and binding estimate received from Interstate, the **** driver then attempted to collect more than the binding estimated amount--both at the pickup of my household goods and at the delivery point--claiming these added charges were due to bulky items and having to wait at the destination for my arrival. I refused to pay more than the estimated remaining cash balance, based on Interstate figures, and the driver eventually relented.Since July 18, I have made several calls and emails to Interstate to learn the status of a refund of my additional "buffer" space deposit, $608.27 and adjustments due to fewer items than anticipated being transported. No resolution of this issue has been reached and Interstate CSRs I have spoken with or emailed have not provided helpful or conclusive information.

      This is the first and only response I have had from the Better Business Bureau.  Hardly a resolution of the issue or a response

      to the complaint.  I feel like I acted in good faith--in conducting business with the mover(s) and in keeping them informed of my

      scheduled pickup and drop off dates and times, given some extraordinary circumstances.  The original estimate, which I thought

      was binding, was $1,000 less than the final cost to me.  Beyond poor business practices on the part of the moving companies, I

      believe there are ethical issues involved and that I was misled by the original sales agent who contracted with me for the move.

      I also acted in good faith by filing a complaint with the BBB--which has come to nothing.  What recourse do I now have as a

      consumer who has been taken advantage of by a moving company?  Is there not an 

      agency that can represent my interests as a consumer in pursuing this?

      Business received a downpayment for moving services - did not show up on confirmed time/date - no individual human to contact - this has not been resolved in the least 19 hours later. This is a moving/timing issue that involves lost work time- $lost due to hotel reservations canceled, etc.Highly unacceptable - business has not been responsive to resolve. This is stolen money and/or incompetence.
