US Enacts Law to Curb Moving Scams Safeguard Consumers
The upcoming U.S. Household Goods Consumer Protection Act aims to combat moving fraud and protect consumer rights. It grants the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) greater enforcement authority, supports state-level enforcement, and tightens registration requirements to ensure legitimate operations. Consumers should still exercise caution when selecting moving companies, choosing reputable ones, signing detailed contracts, and retaining relevant evidence. The act strengthens consumer protection against fraudulent moving practices and aims to create a more transparent and accountable industry.
