Dirty Corporate Feet Conspiracy IV:

101 How to get robbed from Home!

In 2006, I was buying a home in Washington, I had movers give estimates for moving cost. We decided to go with Bekins Moving Company? They gave us a low bid, the sales person seemed nice! We thought everything seemed, to be on the up and up!

Then came moving day; Bekins, went to are mothers first in Carmichael, because she sold her home first which was enough, to move us to Washington. The movers at Bekins, got the mother moved but had stuff missing as she was missing her car keys to her new Volvo, which we had to pay for new keys to get made. The keys cost $150.00 with a remote $800.00! This was the first sign of everything going wrong with the move?

Bekins then came to are house in Orangevale, for pick up. They loaded everything, we didn’t notice to many problems with the load. My wife and I were feeling still pretty good about the move. Just had a miss-placed car key, is all from the mother-in-law house?

Were on the road now heading to Washington, as we arrive in Washington! We called are realtor to let him know, we’ve arrived and are staying in a hotel for the night. The realtor said, he’ll see us at are new house tomorrow to finalize the paper work and bank statements.

Come next morning we called our realtor in California, they had a bank transaction problem and the bank of the builders, is letting the builder not to let us in the new house?
It took several days maybe, a week? We were stuck in a hotel and had are animals, no new home yet. It was pretty shocking, we were pretty homeless to say the least.

Finally the money transaction went through, after are realtors in California, stuck us with a weeks rent in a hotel which should have been just one night.

Then we get to the house the door is open lights are on plans on the kitchen counter. No Builder, Realtor or Broker around. We get the keys to our new house, great we thought! Bekins wanted to charge us more than they proposed by quite a bit. Now we are having a problem with Bekins and their hold our houses stuff, hostage! Until the new disclosed totally, is paid!

Finally the Bekins issue, is resolved but not peacefully! Now were unpacking are stuff and find out the shelves to are Cairo’s, are missing and beds are not assembled correctly. Here we are with Cairo’s maybe a couple of (thousand dollars) worth and we cant use them?

We called Bekins for reimbursed of damages to our stuff.


Now we are very unsettled with the move at this point! I believe we had to contact the better business for this matter. We fought with American express eight months to pull off ex-charges that Bekins billed us for. Bekins didn’t honor their insurance, that they made us take and pay for. Bekins just broke are stuff and said to bad!

My trade is that of an Engineer, I noted this brand new home at the time 2006, with cracks in the ceiling going all the way across the walls, plumbing issues electrical issues breakers not working, The front door would not lock the lock actually, just feel off! No cocking done in the bathrooms or showers, toilets clogged, with sand in them because the (well) out side the house has collapsed. I found a hundred of problems and malfunctions through out the house. At one point the builder, paid me to fix the new home because he found out I was an Engineer. The builder made good on a lot of his mistakes but their seemed to be an-- Architectural and Engineering-- problem with the house! In other words a lemon home.

The builder would not lessen the price with all these damages, so he got a letter to the better business beaur as well. I wanted to cancel the sale. The builder said he would not cancel the sale and for me to do what, I had o do!

The realtor in Washington, didn’t inform us that the land had, bad water. The water just wrecked the toilets, the tubs, the showers, we were on the fence with him too. I told the broker about the miss-representation; that his realtor did to us. The broker said maybe we wont do anything, for you? -if- I go to the papers and tell my story! I was even black mailed by the broker.

In all, it was the most horrific experience of my life and I have told a lot of shocking stories! The Bad Movers; The Realtor that withheld information; The black mailing Broker and The lousy Builder.

The story got published up in Washington, Olympian newspaper in 2007



Sincerely,
