Q: Can I take a company to small claims court in calf. If the wrong doing was in Arizona
A moving company from California took advantage of my elderly parents and over charged them. I have contacted the company and they offered me 1000 doller refund. That was 8 weeks ago and I don't think they have any intention of paying my parents. I do have power of attorney
A:
If a moving company from California overcharged your elderly parents and has not followed through on their promise to provide a refund, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation on behalf of your parents.
As the holder of power of attorney, you may be able to act on behalf of your parents in legal matters. It's important to consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in consumer protection and elder law to understand your options and the best course of action.
In general, you may be able to file a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. You may also be able to file a lawsuit against the moving company for breach of contract or fraud.
When pursuing legal action, it's important to gather all relevant documentation, such as the moving contract, receipts, and correspondence with the company. An attorney can help you assess the strength of your case and navigate the legal system to seek justice for your parents.
Overall, if a moving company has overcharged your elderly parents and failed to provide a promised refund, you may have legal options to seek compensation and protect their rights.
