What to do if amoving companyI used 6.5 months ago randomly charged my credit card for the remaining balance without authorization or notice?
I have not refused payment but will be disputing it with my credit card company. The company said they would send me the bill within 30 days of receiving my stuff. I Never received a bill because they sent the bill to the location they moved me from. They had my new add, phone number, and email and claimed they called me the day they billed my card but my phone records show no such call. They even sent a unsigned receipt to my email the next morning.

I would wait until after the dispute with your credit card company is resolved over the unauthorized charge before deciding what you may want to do. If the charge is accepted by your credit card compant and you contest the amount of the unauthorized charge, then you might consider filing a small claims court action against the moving company.
However, if you actually owe the money charged to the credit card by the moving company, a small claims action against it most likely will be a losing proposition.
