My Active Rain blog helped my daughter!

Real Estate Agent 0225218019

My life has been super busy since my daughter and her hubby moved into their new house with two toddlers and two aging pets.  The moving date was August 17th.

 

The last blog I posted (on September 8th) was about the damage she had to her furniture, due to the negligence of the men who loaded the truck.  

 

My blog got the attention of the corporate department for All My Sons Moving and Storage in Texas.  Three days after I posted the blog, I received an anonymous comment on the blog from Bobbie Sue Hayes, a claims manager for the company asking me to call.  I promptly called and told her about the lack of care which the packers used when loading the truck.  Bobbie Sue promised to work with my daughter and that the company would reimburse her for damages. 

 

After playing phone tag for several days, my daughter finally spoke with Bobbie Sue and has since been documenting the damages in order to file the claim.  It has been a long process due to the couple's work schedules, dealing with the long unpacking process and taking care of the normal needs of her family.  

 

Another factor in the delay was our recent trip to Sevierville, Tn.  We went to Dollywood and enjoyed the surrounding areas as well.

Debbie Reynolds, I somehow missed your comment last week.  Thanks for your input, apparently th corporate office has made th claims process quite involved and difficult.  It remains to be seen how much they actually reimburse her.

Hi Wayne Johnson, sorry it has taken me so long for me to respond to your comment.  Sadly, the moving company is making it difficult to file the claim.

I agree with Debra Leisek .  See if they have a business page and post it there for others to read.  I'm so sorry your daughter went through this.
