Moving Company Woes

[ghalsey]

I recently used a mover to move me from Philadelphia, PA to Atlanta, GA. I had an original Binding estimate and paid half the estimate amt @ pickup and was told to pay the remainder upon delivery. At pickup, they said I had more boxes than my inventory list said and added additional charges. I told them I didn't agree to the additional charges they never reissued a new estimate to me.After over a month of hounding them they finally delivered my household goods. When they arrived I had cash money for the original remaining balance. They told me that I still owed additional money, took the money I had as the remaining balance, and left with my money and my items when I wasn't watching. When I called them to ask where they were going they told me McDonald's and that they'd be back in 10 min.After an hr.I called the moving company and they told me they my things were taken to storage because I didn't pay the entire balance.I don't have reciepts, paperwork,furnit.,or money.What should I do?

Unfortunately you are far from the first to have this happen. They may be a fly by night company, as many of these are. Is this a large company? Small company? Do you have a written agreement?
