Fraudulent moving company for sure
This company seems to be burying its reputation under negative reviews and aliases. I tried moving with these guys, communicating with Phillip Champion the majority of the time. We agreed to a great price for a no-packing 1700 mile move, and the first red flag was that, despite not being advertised as a "meet it or beat it" company, Phil kept lowering the price when I'd communicate with him. At first it was because I was military, then it was because I found companies with cheaper prices... and "we have more experience," is what I was told, "so even if we can't beat their price, we got real damn close, and you should absolutely go with us." Long story short, the requested down payment was enormous - about 1/3rd of the cost of the move - and we initially agreed to pay a quarter of that up front and then just pay the rest by the time of the move. We paid the initial amount and gave them a pending check for the rest of the amount, which they promised they'd only cash once we were ready. We did more research, and then found out that this company has a horrible reputation of faking their years in business in addition to holding movers' possessions hostage once they've arrived. Naturally, we sought to cancel at this point. It was also around this point that we noticed that the company accepted the initial payment under the name of "Moving Nation," which obviously is no United Regions Van Lines. I can only assume that this was their former alias, and based on everything I've heard, I believe them to be a broker. Their contract doesn't let you cancel if you're within 10 days of the move, which I can only imagine is so that you can't cancel when you realize that you were brokered out. After I sent an email requesting to cancel, the check was cashed, and I was charged the other 3/4s of the down payment. Phillip promised that this amount would be refunded to me in the form of a check sent in the mail. I was not told I would be receiving the initial 1/4 back, though. This all being said, I recently contacted my bank and ordered a charge back as it's been nearly two weeks, and I do not know if that check for the 3/4s was ever sent, nor do I have reason to believe that it was. I also wanted to get that initial 1/4 back, since, for some reason, they didn't send that. Do not trust these people with your money! I had to get my debit card and account number changed so I could be sure they couldn't charge anymore.
