We moved from Atlanta to another state North last year. Our properties were totally compromised by their affiliated moving company, Beltmann LLC. All my medical records were taken by the help of dishonest Roswell Police Department, GA (Thomas Robinson and Iris Scuderi police officers) to a medical facility at Piedmont Hospital, Atlanta to be falsified and replaced because I lodged a complaint with the authorities regarding the illegal surgical procedure by unqualified and unauthorized Residents of a teaching hospital in Atlanta in exchange for money given through Breast Cancer donation to a doctor of a non-teaching hospital and a private clinic in order to facilitate practice on vulnerable cancer patients at the private clinic (Dr. William Barber). (Illegal money donation to one man is like donations to a church which cannot be audited) Beltmann LLC failed to safeguard our belongings and stole some of my heirlooms and allow police to go through my holy books and destroy them for no good reason. Beltmann LLC is run by criminals (Cynthia Wright and Glen Jenkins). BEAWARE OF DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY AND THEIR ASSOCIATES!!! I have not heard from any of their management.!
So, after reading the above comments it appears that I am not the only one to be treated with total disregartd by this company. After taking over $8000 to have my goods moved, I watched the movers basically throw my goods into the home at delivery. They refused to slow down or respond to me at all when I requested that they slow down so i ultimately asked them to just move my goods into the garage which left me the task of moving them in to the home. Not only did i have damage to goods but also damage to my new construction home. Furthermore, the driver never gave me an inverntory to check and then requested I initial the document before he leave stating it only confirmed that he removed all the items placed in his trailer. After they left that evening , I called to report the action of the driver and the prperty damage the very next morning (well within 24 hours) but they are now telling me I did not report the property damage within 24 hours and they are, therefore, not liable. There is no ther way to describe this than a total and outright lie. I have no hope at all that this will be resolved. I am not sure I should allow myself to be sucked into this tactic of waiting, lieing and denying responsibility. I have moved cross country 5 times is this is by far the worst experience i have ever had. You should be ashamed of the way you treat people!
Allied handled a move from Wheaton, IL to Cave Creek, AZ. Items were delivered on December 6, 2020. Two items were discovered missing on that day: # 222 artwork and #98 a part for a fitness bench. We noted it on the paperwork that day and followed up immediately with Allied. They said that they would institute a search and we heard nothing. We followed up repeatedly and never got a response. Meanwhile, during unpacking we discovered a carton of glassware that Allied packed with several broken items. We filed a claim that Allied denied. They falsely claimed that we signed paperwork acknowledging complete delivery and that we self-packed. I have evidence proving that Allied lied.
There has been absolutely NO positive experience in our move from Vancouver, WA to Queen Creek, AZ. Our belongings were stored in Vancouver until we could find a home here in AZ and instead of our possessions being shipped 7-10 days after notifying them, it took over (2) weeks because of a shortage in drivers. When our household furnishings finally did arrive, (5) people came in and basically “threw” are things in our house. We noted the damage on our refrigerator, desk, TV and a few other misc. items and had to wait over (2) weeks for their inspection person to come and assess the damage as he was on vacation and there was no backup employee. After over a month from filing our claim, we were told there would be no repair or replacement to our damaged refrigerator, no repair or replacement to our broken TV and very little replacement value put on our destroyed desk which is part of an in-home office set with coordinating pieces. When we complained about this settlement, we were told our complaint would be sent to the claims adjuster and it would be another 30-45 days for her to “review” our appeal due to backlogs and we would have to wait our turn. After going above Kathlyn Rounds, Marjorie Lothamer and being sent to Heather Amstutz, NOTHING has been resolved. We paid for the extra insurance for our belongings…..WHY???? The movers who packed and loaded our household in Vancouver were in a BIG hurry for us to sign the paperwork, not even giving us time to read it and the same thing went for those who delivered our belongings – and now I know why, they don’t WANT you to read it to see what they’ve written in so they can be cleared of responsibility for the damage they do. Well, we will see you in court because we took excellent care of our appliances and furniture and you are going to pay for the damage!
To whom it may concern:
We recently relocated from Cincinnati to South Florida and used University Moving and Storage. I have been in a heated debate with them for 2 weeks after we discovered that one of their packers stole about $4,000 worth of personal property while packing our house. They absolutely refuse wrongdoing and told me to “not communicate with them anymore”. The actions of their employees are dispicable and criminal and they refuse to rectify the matter. I am disgusted that we spent $9,000 for them to move us and they simply don’t care about the fact that they stole from us. They want me to go away but I absolutely cannot go away and act like this is just ok. It’s not ok and I want answers.
