The Dispute Team along w/ communications are horrible.
The Dispute Team ruled in favor of the merchant, American Van Lines for an approximately $3,000.- for no service provided.
Recently hired American Van Lines as a direct carrier through the representative, Alex Felix, for an out of state move.
Alex Felix made many promises & assured all would go well as we spoke in advance of the move on many occasions to clarify.
Well, all went horribly wrong.
A small white unlabeled truck showed up at our home, unexpectedly on a Sunday opposed to Saturday with 3 questionable men without any identification or uniforms stating they represented American Van Lines to move a 5 bedroom home.
The three men were disheveled and reaked of smoke - tobacco & pot.
The lead person immediately demanded an extra $2,000.- for services.
He claimed it was for his satellite truck.
We were never informed prior as any professional company would do for any additional charge above the agreed contract price.
The lead person then, without our consent & knowledge, walked through my home taking pictures & talking w/ his manager on the phone.
We then tried to reach American Van Lines & the representative, Alex Felix, only to find out the company was closed.
Finally, through this steessful situation, we then reached an American Van Lines person, who agreed that the additional $2,000.- was owed above the agreed contract price.
Needless to say, buying & selling a home, moving, are most stressful w/o the added issues that ensued as we debated in disagreement over the demanded money above the contract agreed price.
The driver decided to cancel the move by leaving, driving off w/o anything being done & no service was provided.
I did chase after the truck in desperation as we now only had a day to legally vacate our home for the new buyers.
The truck driver drove off, leaving us in the lurch.
Now, American Van Lines claims they showed up.
So, American Van Lines believes they should be paid for no services rendered.
American Van Lines has convinced CapitalOne Dispute Team members that they are in the right.
Outrageous, how would any company practicing tactics as such w/ the lack of integrity, demand payment for no service provided & that a Dispute Team would rule in favor of a predatory company such as American Van Lines over a customer who did not receive what was paid for.
CapitolOne put the charge back on my CC balance today.
We are outraged & have no choice to further efforts to make sure we are not extorted.
The Dispute Team should demand the American Van Lines recorded lines be released to them to prove Alex Felix made false promises & the tactics used were classic bait & switch w/ 1 major difference, nothing was received & I am being charged $3,000.- for nothing, no service!
Please respond any person w/ sensibility & humanitarian empathy w/ any help or solution to help me from this theft!
