Moving
If you are moving to some other city or looking to rent a post office box, then figure out how to change your address so that you tend to receive your mail regularly. You can change your address with the post office by visiting USPS.com/move to change it online or visit the local post office and get the mover’s guide packet. When changing the address with the government agencies, reach out to the federal and state agencies such as social security, voter registration, and IRS for federal taxes and veteran benefits. Care should be taken while hiring movers as they use fraudulent practices to steal your money. The tactics movers or moving companies employ to cheat you include:
- Demanding cash before the move begins
- Refraining you to give a written estimate
- Getting a blank contract signed by you
- Changes in the price estimate frequently
- Holding your belongings unless you make the payment
You can initiate legal action if you are unable to resolve the dispute with the moving company. File a complaint with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration if you have an issue with a move across state lines.
