Hi Experts,
I hired a Gurgaon based movers and packers for transportation of my Household items and Car from Gurgaon to Hyderabad. He charged for GST and Insurance as well.
We received household goods but some were broken. He shared a insurance policy of someone else after scanning and changing the name and period. When i inquired from insurance company, policy was issued in 2016 in different person name. So, i am not able to claim anything from insurance company. He charged 6000 rs for that.
He is not delivering my car and asking for more money. I have few questions:-
1. What action i can take against him.
2. Can i file FIR for doing Fraud by sharing invalid policy copy.
3. Can i file police complaint in Hyderabad.
4. Can i file consumer court complaint in Hyderabad.
5. How much time does it take to act from Police perspective
6. How much time consumer court does take.
Regards,
P. Venu
