The moving saga continues for Erwin Fahrnow. He's the guy from Wisconsin who met his fiance online and moved to Oklahoma City to be with her. Love is blind right?? Fahrnow hired Chase Relocation out of Illinois to move his stuff halfway across country to Oklahoma, but 4 months later he's still waiting on Chase to deliver his stuff. Chase won't admit it's at fault, but here's the thing...Chase was late picking up Erwin's belongings and didn't show up until he was already gone. They have his electric wheelchair, craftmatic bed, walker, prescription drugs, among other things. And to top it off, Chase altered the contract...tacking on additional charges to the original quote. Now, Chase did try dropping off the stuff once, but it was at 11:30 at night during a rainstorm. Police were called...it got messy, but because it's a civil dispute...police could do nothing. Erwin filed a complaint with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, but they haven't done squat. We contacted the Oklahoma Bar Association who put us in touch with attorney Rick Rose (Mahaffey & Gore). Rose along with attorney Lee Groeneveld (also with Mahaffey & Gore) are in talks with Chase and are hopeful for a resolution in the coming week. If Chase continues to resist, they will take their efforts to court. We'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, U.S. Representative Mary Fallin's office stepped up to the plate in a big way. With their help, we were able to enlist the help of the Oklahoma Rehabilitation Council, NeuroResources Outreach, and Westmont Medical Services. NeuroResources assists the disabled with electric equipment...some new, but mostly old. Here's their link... http://www.neuroresourcesoutreach.com
