| Rightway Marine Cargo LLC Mr. Ajoy Cecil Lopez Fraudulent Mover preying on Expatriate families, takes full payment and pays no bills! Sharjah United A |
| 14th of Nov, 2011 by User428058 |
| We are a Canadian family who left UAE for Mongolia in July 2011. We contracted and paid in full for door to door removal services of our household belongings and personal effects to a Sharjah based company, RIGHTWAY MARINE CARGO LLC, owned and operated by one man, MR. AJOY CECIL LOPEZ of Trivandrum, India. We have to date, November 15, 2011, not received our shipment because of nonpayment, documentation negligence, and complete dishonesty from the shipping agent paid to provide us services. We have had no response over the past month regarding requests to release the container, except to threaten legal action because of our internet postings regarding this situation. As MR. LOPEZ did not actually pay for the shipping services from Maersk in advance, he has made every excuse to hide the original Bill of Lading from us and as a result has created a very expensive situation that we must face to retrieve all of our personal belongings. We have been told by Maersk that, as shipper, Mr. Lopez decides when the container will be released to us....he will only release the container if we pay an additional $5000+ USD to cover all the payments he has not made (although we paid $6300 upfront directly to him). Maersk is only concerned with getting paid. We have since discovered a second South African family who experienced the same results with their relocation from UAE to Canada in early 2011. The culprit, or guilty party, is entirely at fault and all documentation and correspondence from the shipping lines makes this abundantly clear. The fraudulent company continues to hold the container until I agree to pay for all of the fees associated with their negligence and fraudulent actions, as well as the already pre-paid freight that they have not paid to the shipping line or destination moving company. The container is two months overdue and was sent over 5 months ago. There have been reports that the documentation I received is faulty and does not match the Maersk system documentation, and the seal that locks the container has been compromised....leading me to believe that we will be facing theft and damaged goods as well. I have contacted the other "ripped-off" party from Canada to inquire whether they would be interested in pursuing legal action. I would bring to bring this evil person to justice and see that compensation was paid and incarceration forced upon him. I have full documentation of invoices, payment and all email correspondence. |

UPDATE 04/11/2012
To date, RIGHTWAY MARINE CARGO and it's one man ownership, Mr. Ajoy Cecil Lopez, has continued to defy and deny payment to Maersk Lines and the local receiving agent. We have had to pay an additional $3000, spend immeasurable time and effort with emails, calls and correspondence with the effected parties, and PAY ALL OVER AGAIN FOR each and every SERVICE NOT PROVIDED OR PAID BY RIGHTWAY MARINE CARGO. Essentially, you will pay in full for your move, they will pack up your house, your family will leave without receiving any of the documentation promised by Mr. Lopez, and then you will find out in a few months that he didn't pay any of the money you gave him to the people that he was required to contract. This company is perfect for you is you usually enjoy throwing your money into the fire or if you could care less about your family's personal treasures. Please do your own due diligence on this company/person before you end up in the same terrible financial position we have found ourselves. You can also expect to be flooded with legal threats to cease telling others about the victimization you have been put through by Mr. Lopez. When that doesn't work for Mr. Lopez, he will beg you to remove your online comments so he can repeat his scam on other expatriates leaving the UAE. Victim count is at least 5 families to date that is known or come forward since June 2011. Is this something your family wants to experience? |
