YOU ASK THAT THE FILE BE REVIEWED TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT CARRIERS OTHER THAN NORTH AMERICAN VAN LINES PARTICIPATED IN THE MOVEMENT AND, IF SO, TO EXAMINE THE RATES WHICH THEY RECEIVED FOR THEIR SERVICES.

THE OUTSTANDING OVERPAYMENTS REPORTED TO YOU SHOULD BE REFUNDED PROMPTLY IN ORDER TO AVOID OUR RECOVERY BY OTHER MEANS.
