If Medicare was the primary payer on your wheelchair then they will pay for the work and delivery. There should be an ombudsman's office to mediate this. You can get that number from your congressman's office. If you want to hear miss Ashlee make the sound of a hoover, also make sure you notify AARP and any local papers. Be sure copies go to the manufacturer, your congressman, and the state attorney general. Use the name of the place a lot in your letter. Include the CEO's name and Miss Ashlee. I wish you the best of luck. Tell them come and get it. They don't get the $400 until you get the chair back. (verbally) When you get the chair tell them to send you a bill so you can send it to Medicare. Be sure the chair is in your house before saying that. You shouldn't pay them for trying to rip you off

Can I contact Medicare on line to file a complaint? I had my Dr. call them also my wound care nurse, well little Miss Ashlee called this afternoon and said she talked with the ceo he said if they came and picked it up it would be 400 dollars! But if I took it, they would bring it back. What should I do?

I feel John has offered you the best advice so far. Even better than mine. Most of the complaint work can be done online without leaving your home. Complaints should always include factual information, personal feeling should be left in your closing. Leave a primary and secondary phone number and always your email address. www.bbb.org are good for business harassment, while the State's Attorney General Consumer Protection Agency is your legal rep and can force action on your behalf.

Also contact your state Attorney General because it may fall into the crack of some lemon law.

Hello everybody, I¢ve got a problem with Holland Medical the company I got my new chair from, I¢ve just had it 6 months it¢s still under warranty. This makes the 3rd time its torn up and it¢s the same problem every time, I¢ve took it too them twice 140 mile trip. I called them today and ask if they would come and pick it up that I couldn¢t afford to take it to them, and I would be bed redden without my chair. Ashlee said it wasn¢t her problem and they wouldn¢t come and fix it or take it to the shop, how much is enough? Am I responsible 3 times for their encompodence? What do I need to do?
