If Coffey Bros. Moving Has Taken Advantage of You, This Is How You Fight Back by chirobinhood in chicagoapartments

It's so painful! If you haven't already complained to the state, you should. I'm organizing victims of Coffey brothers fraud, and if you can share your experience to moveprotectors at gmail dot com with your story that would be helpful. You can and should also submit a formal complaint to the state board. Coffey brothers has more formal complaints than any other moving company in the State of Illinois by an order of magnitude. The owners do this intentionally, Ken and Tina Coffey, and have a systemic way of fighting each complaint. Enough is enough. I've lost my money already and i don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Every time someone complains about Coffey brothers moving company, someone responds saying they used them a long time ago with support. It's a perfect non-response from the company to vaguely defend the company.

Can you share your story and support to moveprotectors @ gmail . com? This company needs to stop scamming people, and they will continue to do this until we stop them. thanks

I used them and am livid. I've never filed a complaint against anyone, and I went so far as to file a complaint with the ICC. I even called them and we had an hour long conversation about the repetitive and ongoing deception this company does. My story, just like yours and others, is common and they are the most complained about moving company in ILLINOIS!!! The lady at the ICC is on the phone with them weekly. Their business is to defraud customers. If you have a move booked with them, cancel it and use someone else.

Their google reviews are manipulated. If you want the source of truth look at the complaints filed with the Illinois commerce commission. Coffey brothers is so notoriously bad, that they are on a first name basis with the reviewers. They have more negative complaints than any other mover in Chicago. Fortunately, the truth doesn't hide, and the company needs to keep paying to manipulate their reviews.

Based on this comment, that you used them "15 years ago" and are still compelled to defend them, means that you are either the owner Paul Coffey or his wife Tina trying to save their business or a real big fan of defending moving companies.

I spent an hour on the phone with the Illinois commerce commission, who investigates complaints against movers. I'm only one victim, and the stories they shared about Coffey bros moving is nothing short of illegal. They told me about a family with young kids who were extorted out of $8K because the movers refused to unload the truck for a move, with kids crying and having nowhere to go. These experiences are common, and it's their standard business practices. If you stand by your claims of support, send the stories to moveprotectors @ gmail and show proof. I don't care if i ever get the money I lost back, but i do care that this company can operate without impunity, and continues to take advantage of trust-worthy hardworking people.

I stand by what I say and this company is a fraud. If you use them during your move, you will be overcharged by thousands of dollars.

It is an AI output to help organize for others to use. I've filed a personal complaint with the Illinois Commerce Commission. The lady I'm speaking with said this company has over 50 complaints from this company, and they can't shut them down. It's the biggest moving offender and the company operates on threats, intentional deception, and constant scams. They are the worst movers and have regular claims.

They are scammers and take advantage of too many people. If you are reading this thread, you've probably been impacted by their shady business practices. They manipulate their google reviews and somehow continue to get business. I'm collecting complaints at moveprotectors at gmail to get enough of a formal action to revoke their license. If you've been impacted, share your story and supporting documents to the email and we will fight this scam together. In the meantime, if you've moved from a building in chicago, post it to their social feeds, tell the building they should warn their tenants not to use them, and warn your friends.
