Good morning and Robert BrownHappy Friday! This is Betty Lin-Fisher with Friday's consumer-focused The Daily Money.
Moving is stressful enough. But Michael and Deirdre Kupka's move from New York to South Carolina went from bad to worse.
The couple's relocation was fraught with problems, including the movers refusing to unload their furniture at their new home until they paid nearly $5,000 more than their original agreement. Then when their furniture was unloaded, many of their antiques were damaged. The couple refused to sign any documents at their new home after seeing the damage and now the company says they have no insurance claim.
May is the start of the busy moving season across the country. Read my story about the Kupkas' move and ways you can protect yourself – and your belongings.
