    Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered. 

    My husband takes full accountability for his language initially. It should be understood that he felt very strongly about how much we know weve been wrongly overcharged by these employees. At the time of receiving the removal i was occupied taking care of my two children, one of which is a newborn.

    ***** ****** has been absolutely less than helpful. Whatever breakdown Mr ****** claims to have given us does not answer the reasoning or address the issues of our dispute. My description of the situation was pretty clear, and yet the breakdown is more confusing. *** ****** has also not been able to locate the photos that were required to complete the invoice. I have provided the employees name, date, time, and location of photos to help him find them, but after over 2 weeks it seems as though he has not even spoken with the two employees who provided the service to us. There has been no accountability let alone an explanation of how something like this could even happen. Given how much money has been overcharged for what services were actually received has been incredibly stressful for our family. Attached is a copy of the email thread started with *** ******.


    Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

    Hello,

    We are and have been in contact with Mrs. *********** Her husband originally called speaking quite vulgarly about our team. There are no double charges applied with this job as they have said, and which I have explained. I took the time to breakdown the entirety of their receipt to them and allow them to tell us what they don't understand. I am willing to refund anything that they do not understand in order to appease them, but I do not see their being any fraudulent charges here. 

    Thank you

    Receipt for services.

    includes Amount and contact info.

    he would open a formal complaint case (#********). I was told a member of the Customer Team would contact me in ******* w/the next steps. I then asked to speak with a Supervisor (****). She emailed me a copy of the complaint number. She assured me she was placing a priority escalation status of the complaint. She also noted they would call me in 2days to resolve. Of note, when I called to notify them of the price gouging, they noted the truck was 3/4 filled from only our pick up. I explained that was not true. I expect a price adjustment lowering the price what we were charged.

    Dear BBB,

    The business has not resolved the issue.  They did call my husband and were not helpful in resolving the issue.  They were dismissive and unwilling to assist in a resolution despite my husband being professional and objective.  This is not how a military veteran should be treated.  We would like further assistance from BBB in resolving this issue.  We appreciate your help in bringing fair resolve to this issue.  Price gouging customers is not an ethical business practice.  

    Kindly,

    **********************;

I called their **************** on June 6. Their CS staff is at the firms national office and did not have access to the documentation I requested.

They did not respond.I have received no communication from either the national or local office.The $300 fee is not in dispoute. The fee was in exchange for junk remove AND the provision of the agreed upon invoice.

    It always hurts when someone's experience isn't excellent, but we always make things right. We were able to contact this customer directly and resolve the issue to their satisfaction- hopefully leading to a stronger future relationship.
