Illegal Towing and Predatory Towing Practices

I live in New York State. I was illegally towed from private property. I was also charged $260 by the towing company when I showed up after they had it on their truck. The property said no overnight parking and parking for Medical Building appointments only. I was at the ER at the hospital adjacent to the parking lot. I was parked from 4-8:30 pm. The signage for the property has a different towing company listed on their sign than the one that showed up. Do I have a civil or small claims case?

My truck was towed from my apartment complex. My vehicle was parked in a authorized parking spot.some tow truck company just rolled up and hitch my truck up and took it illegally. He wasn’t even supposed to be on our property towing cars no one ordered it. I have no repo order. This is just straight theft by a tow company. It was taken 4 days ago by an unknown tow company. Filed police report immediately. I’m baffled as to who, what, where and why would you just take my car like that?no reason at all he just took it. My doors were locked and windows up. No orders or authorized by anyone to do so .
Waiting on cops to view video tape for more information. Antagonizing wait game on the police part

I moved into a newly built apt complex 4 months ago in UT at which time I was given an assigned parking place. In the last week, we were issued stickers which we were to place on our cars as soon as possible. I thought the violators signs they put up were for violators, those parking in other tenants parking spots, not those who were parked in their assigned spots. They did not take down my make and model ot license plate number when I moved in, which is what my previous landlords have done. So my car was towed at 2am from my assigned parking spot, a few days after the notice. No date was given as to when towing would start after the date of the notice with the stickers. I've never had to have stickers on my car for parking before. Was this a legal tow from my assigned parking space, giving no notice at all?

We where towed in San Bernardino By Wilson Towing in March 31st 2020 during the coronavirus epidemic. They towed the vehicle at 2:30 am . They didn’t give us a photocopy of the Violation reason for the tow and they didn’t give us a general authorization of the tow. We called the police to make a report for the illegal tow. But they said we have to make a civil law suit.

I want to know if I have to pay 1,800 at the tow yard my rv was being held it only has been 8 days and I was not notified by police deparment that it was destroyed for expired tags I want to know if they had the right to destroy it for that reason

Morris & Son towing hired someone to follow people in the Fremont bart station.
I was followed, and harassed. I parked my car went to Reilly’s buy food. 30 minutes later my car towed away.
They claimed “someone saw you left parking lot”, they assume I left car there where I went to bathroom on the side to went to bathroom
This is crime.
We need sue them

My car was towed from new brighten view apartment two times within 10 days. Last Saturday I was dropping older guy who happen to have leg disability. Out of my kind heart I help older guy unloading his grocery that he bought across from his apartment, max I was gone was less than 10 minutes. My house key and car key and wallet were in my car. It was really cold outside and I was stuck in cold until 1pm to have an Access to car to even get my house key and wallet from the car.
Second the following Saturday I returned to drop pizza off to friend I know on that build. Before parking ask the friend where should I park? He direct me to park at guess parking just for 15 to 20 minutes. I even I have my emergency lights out. Drop the pizza office and I came down my car was gone from guess parking. Again my wallet, phone and house keys in car. Again I called them they told they can't help me and stressed to them that I park on guess parking and my keys and the wallets are in my car and asked to access my car. They told no not until 9am. Time at the time we're past 12am.

Each time I was charge $316 which within 10 days they took. $632. I also notice they have attempt to get into my car. Both sides of the door side rabber indicate. Also my rarre end of my tire makes waird noses which I believe it was damage when they towed.

I live in Minnesota. Please help

In early December 2019, my vehicle was towed while parked in my assigned parking spot in my apartment complex by “Wilson’s” towing in San Bernardino saying “they could not see my permit”. While trying to retrieve my vehicle, I showed proof of registration and ID stating I was in my assigned parking spot. After showing, I was told if I had of caught them before they removed my vehicle then I would have only had to pay half, but because I didn’t and my vehicle was towed, I had to pay $460 to have my vehicle released.

I feel like I've been targeted by our hoa. Every week we are getting towed

My sons car had the wheels and tires stolen from his car when it was parked outside his girlfriends house, in the middle of the night! This happened Thursday Oct. 24th in the a.m. hours The police were called and there is an investigation! Gieco adjuster said he was swamped and wasn't able to arrive until Monday Oct. 28th! There was a tow sticker put on the car within 24 hours of filing the reports so we called the police again to inform them that the insurance adjuster was going to be delayed and they assured us it would not be towed. 3 hours before the adjuster arrived, his car was being dragged across the pavement and pulled onto a wrecker!!! This is mind blowing and now we don't know whats going to happen!!! Any help or advice on what to do and who to hold accountable would be greatly appreciated!!

The apartment complex hired towing company to tow residents' car 24/7. They towed two of our car within one month. On Friday the 13th of August, I was taking groceries out of my car, the towing driver towed the car within 10 minutes before we finish pull out our stuffs. I could not find my blood pressure medication for a few days. He said he took our ca because we did not have ticket permit, we have two ticket on the car. The one he saw and said it was expired, had not expired because the manager never said or put expiration date on any sticker. They mailed a notice on the 09/17/2019 to say that the blue stickers are not valid any more after we made initial complaint with the corporate office. The tow driver refused to give me the car, he only handed me the plate and asked me to give the key and the title of the car. Also refused to told me how much money to pay to take the car out.

Burbank police had my car towed to a towing company when my car was reported stolen now they wanted me to pay $240 which I couldn't afford but there is more to this story

My HOA in Montgomery County MD is adopting parking rules that I consider predatory and against my interpretation of the Governing Documents. Each member is assigned one or two parking spaces. The spaces are numbered and close enough to the member's property for each member to be able to see who is parked on one's space. The Governing Documents give the parking space assignee the authority to request towing if someone is parked on the space without the assignee's authorization. However, my association wants to implement a rule where my vehicle must now display a sticker with the parking number on it, or it may be towed by anyone. This is absolutely unnecessary, as the spaces are numbered and it is up to me, as the assignee of the a space to determine whether or not any vehicle is authorized to park in the space assigned to me. Indeed there is not sufficient visitor parking and the neighbors routinely cooperate by asking each other whether or not we may use each other's space whenever needed. Now the association wants to micro-manage the use of parking by complicating it with these stickers. I have not yet been towed, but I have complained about the rule and am not being listened to. To me the rule looks like a veiled attempt at executing fraudulent towing. Is this a topic you would into?

I had my van parked along the street attached and secured with master lock, was my 18 foot utility trailer. Anderson towing out of Beaverton Ore broke the lock off by blunt force, left smashed lock and van and towed trailer. Cost me over 500.00 to get out of impound and nearly 300.00 for plate and registration at odmv in order for Andersons towing to release trailer.

Illegal towing (they breached the peace as in “conversion law”), they stole my vehicle inside an enclosed, with camera and security fenced garage with remote control.

They should had went to court and file a:

Replevin
If the creditor cannot repossess the vehicle without breaching the peace (for example, your car is in a locked garage), it may then seek help from the court through a process called replevin. With a replevin lawsuit, the creditor seeks an order from the court requiring you to give the car back to the creditor.
If you fail to abide by the court order, you may be subject to both civil and criminal penalties. The car loan lender may also get a money judgment against you, usually for the balance owed on the loan or lease, along with charges and costs.

But instead...

They entered a secured private property and just stole my vehicle.

Please contact me and help me get my car back single mother of two!!

Can I please get legal help on an illegal tow in Kansas city ks. Wyandotte county

I've lost a small claim court but the detective in charge of the criminal investigation for illegal towing presented the findings in the investigation. The judge ignore that information and attacked me with questions. I forgot to mention the detective that was there as witness. I've been defrauder by this Predatory tower 3 times but my claim was ignored because the tower has contracts with the cities in southern California. The detective said the judge needed to be educated about the law cause even though I did a great job answering his questions I lost. He asked nothing to the person representing the corporations sued. I've filed a form SC-108 to persuade the judge to read the law and review it. I'm feeling really bad because they have done this to so many people and now I'm afraid they accuse me of something for saying the truth to the authorities.

Today June 10, 2018, I went out for shopping in Queens, New York, we stopped at shopping plaza (located in 3500 48th, Street, Long Island City, New York, NY. My wife went to Dunk in Donuts, buy (which located in the same plaza) had another few thinks, when we came back car was gone, first we thought car may has been stolen. later we found out same lots have few tow trucks are working to tow another cars. We asked security guy who was sitting in his car near by and watching all the operational game plan. We proceed to ask him, he said I have nothing to do with it. You can talk with those tow guys or call the number on the board (Two company name is Grace Catchers Towing Inc., 56-09, 56 Terrace, Maspeth, NY 11378. My wife called them up and spoke with the person who pickup the phone, he said bring $136 dollars cash and pick up your car. We hire Green Cap, who took us to the towing place, he told us you are my 5th passenger taking him there. Once we get there the guy told us stand other side of the window and give me money, registration, driving license and wait out side, I will open the door. Few minutes latter he opened the door, we went in, car was open, and front was damage, right side of the car also was scratched. I took few photos, pick up our documents, and drove our vehicle out of that mess, once we left the Grace Catchers Towing Inc., the guy called my wife phone and told her I gave you wrong receipt. Once my wife check she find out her name is correct, the amount of $136 dollars correct on the receipt, than she looked bottom of the receipt she find out vehicle and all other information was wrong, time of tow, plat number, Vehicle make. Its hard to deal with this kind of situation.

Im going to take this? oh hell no. Southside Towing in Orange ca doing bad business.

The bank towed my car for missing a payment which I was unaware of. My fault so I’ll take the responsibility and pay whatever. The bank mentioned I will need to pay 500 dollars to the towing company for making a key. 500 is very steep especially knowing buying a new key for my car costs 150.
Now, the bank did not ask me for my key or anything. Is this normal? I feel like they’re scamming me to pay more!

I parked at a customer parking lot on sunset with many
Many stores around I arrived 8.05 met with my friend there who was warmed ten min before me and two cars away from me. They towed me 8.45 this is less than an hour according to Los Angeles laws you cannot tow a car in less than an hour. The security write down that I parked there at 7.35 pm when o was clearly not there this time I have video footage of me leaving my garage at this time in Sherman Oaks. I need help because that was wrongfully towing.

I wanted to sue the property mgmt where I was living for wrongfully towing my car from my personal parking spot. The manager towed my car saying it was s non-op, but she lied to the Davis towing co., they came and took my car. When I arrived from school I saw them leaving with my car. I ran to the mgr office, she didn't answer the door. For at least 4 days went by I finally caught up with her and she said she didn't know who came for the car, then it took me 2 month or so to figure out where my car went. . .by the time I got there my car had been dismantled and destroyed. What can I do about this? Who can be made to deal with this? HELP

I was staying at a friends house for a couple months. My car was broke down in the very back of the lot clearly out of everyones way. Over time someone vandalized and destroyed my car. I left it sitting until i could repair it. My so called friend moved without telling me and soon after the property owner had my car towed. I recieved nothing notifying it needed to be moved. The person living there knows me personally and could have easily reached me to let me know or warn me. Is it legal for them to tow without a notice? (Kentucky).

TAGS AUTO TOWING IN OAKLAND IN PGH PA IS A SCAM AND RUDE!!


I bought something in a store at cvs. I saw a man looking at me.when i came out, i crossed street for like 10 min. In view of my car. I saw them begin to hook up my car i ran over and ask them to give me my car, they continued to hook it up, laughed and got ignorant. It was very cold and raining, my coat and laptop in car. They said pay 200 up front or we taking car. I said that seems way to high and car is not even out of lot...ect. they rush and took my car as i complained. I then looked a sign across from where i parked and it said min fee 50 bucks. I am guessing drop fee. It said max fee: 200 bucks. The were charging me full price for a car not taken out of lot. All the hooking up happened in front of me. Other customers were shocked and expressed their were cars there with no handy cap stickers and parked there. The tow driver who was rude says to one lady "shut up and take ur A across street." The lady was in street. She stopped and said dont even talk to me like that u coming at the wrong one.

He then went to every customers changing story as they became appaulled how they treated me not even offering a drop fee

The guy even went to the store manager and tried to lie on me. The store manager even said that guy gives him trouble and rude.

I told my husband who works for triple A and a managing mechanic at a well known car place and he said that towing company always has law suits and is on the news for scamming...etc

I even said to them ,"someone needs to tell the news about you all" and he said "people already have and there is nothing u can do"

The company name: TAGS AUTO TOWING IN PGH PA. IT TOWS CARS IN CVS LOT IN OAKLAND IN PGH PA


They never told me about 50 bucks drop fee so they can get it on public high way so they can charge me a full 200 fee.

I tried calling owner and is not answering but i notice the tow drivers on cell with i assume them. They must of got my plates ran and see its me calling. They want my car to be there long so they can push the 200 fee and then possibly a daily fee.

So now i am driving out there..with my husband. I am sure he is going to call them jerks cause he tows for AAA and is a manager mechanic for a popular auto company.

I cant wait to see look on their face. They wont be getting any deals on their car work, from my husband for sure when they bring their own cars in. He says they have before. His workplace is less than 15 minutes away from them.

Even my husband says those towers at TAGS have bad reps and are real jerks for real.

They didnt even have my car pulled out of space and charged me full tow price, laughed in my face and got ignored with me and anyone who defended me.

What was the American way with horse thieves?

Towing companies are hired to perform a service. The owner, management company, manager, or agent may hire a company to patrol the property. An authorization and signs are needed. A hired agent (independent security company, manager, supervisor, or other person authorized by an owner or other agent) may be used to sign for the removal under CV C22658. The owner DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PRESENT. READ THE LAW!

Las Vegas, NV - Car stolen by Quality Towing Inc.

My vehicle was legally parked at the apartment complex where I live. It was towed without reason and without the permission of the property management. Property management called to confirm that my car was legally parked, no one had been given permission to remove it from the property and that my vehicle was to be returned to me immediately.

It is now the third day that I am trading phone calls with these criminals and Quality Towing is still refusing to return my vehicle. When I contacted the police to report that my car had been stolen, I was basically told that anyone that owns a tow truck in Nevada can pretty much steal any car they want. Nothing they can do for me.

My truck was wrongfully towed on 8/21/16 by oregon state police I filed for a hearing however the tow company says he's charging me 100 dollars a day for storage because he just does like me,my truck was parked across from my home on McKenzie hwy mile post 25 cited on 8/13/16 to move or be towed by 8/14/16 I moved my truck then removed the citation then it was cited again on 8/16/16 saying to move it by 8/17/16 by 6 pm or it would be towed so again I moved my truck up the road completely off the hwy on 8/17/2016 at 5pm and removed the citation since I again moved my truck this time no new citation was placed but they had it towed on 8/21/16 after the cop replaced the sticker I removed on 8/17/16 with the previous location time and dates what can i do? Can they really charge me 100 a day for storage?and on the report it says they towed it at mile post 24 but it was actually towed at mile post 26 please lease help me thank you so much

Fast towing of Las Vegas took my car from next the curb off the public street in Las Vegas,nv because a tenant said i was parked in her parking spot .this is a public street where other cars ate parked ok? Then wanted me to come get it .I said bring it back because you had no right to tow it.it had no police tags or nothing on it.I tried talking numerous times to them but said I had to pay 2000.00 to get my car that they stole of the public street illegally.I told them only the police has authority to tow a car off a public street, not a manager of a apartment building or the tow truck Co filed a complaint. With better business bureau. Now fast towing said they sent my car to auction and its nothing they can do.they basically stole my car and sold it for their gain, because they couldn't extort. 2000.00 from them stealing my car.can I get anyone to help me file legal action against the apartment complex and tow Co.? I am 54 with a hernia that needs operating on.they have really disrupted my. Life when they did this.I need legal help to be compensated for all that was illegally done to me.

The car was parked at night in a dark parking lot with no lights and was towed later. they said there were signs, which there were signs. here are where these signs were. one was at the entrance to the parking lot between the restraunt and another building, the towing applies to the parking spots against said other building. this sign was 2 feet off the ground. the parking spots in the lot are free to the public to park besides the few against the building so no way to differentiate which spots are allowed to be parked in and which arent. the second sign was posted on the bulding around 20 yards from the parking spots also it was hung 20 feet up onto the shadowed unlit side of the building. there were no standing signs or paint on the parking spots to alert the driver on where or where not to park. this is geared towards catching drivers off guard especially those with nightblindess or poor vision could have no way of knowing the sign was there. please get back to me as soon as possible and i will be able to provide pictures and more information about the issue at hand.

(3) Wrecker service facilities and equipment, including vehicles, office, telephone lines, office equipment and storage facilities shall not be shared with or otherwise located on the property of another wrecker service and shall be independently insured. Vehicles towed at the request of the Patrol shall be placed in the storage owned and operated by the wrecker service on the rotation wrecker list.

Storage fees shall not begin to accrue until the next calendar day following the initial towing of the vehicle. Wrecker service towing fees for recovery and transport of vehicles after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends shall not exceed the towing fees by more than 10 percent for recovery and transport of vehicles charged during regular business hours. A mileage fee shall be charged only if the customer requests the vehicle to be towed to a location outside of the assigned wrecker zone or county. If a mileage fee is warranted, the wrecker driver shall inform the owner, operator, or legal possessor of the vehicle of any additional charge for mileage prior to towing. The individual price list for each respective wrecker service shall be made available to customers upon request. Copies of the approved price list shall be maintained within each wrecker and shall be given to the owner, operator, or legal possessor of a vehicle being towed as a result of a Highway Patrol rotation wrecker call by the wrecker driver, if the owner, operator, or legal possessor of the vehicle being towed is present at the scene. Prices indicated on this form shall be the maximum amount that will be charged for a particular service; however, this does not prevent charges of a lesser amount for said service.

(22) Upon employment or upon the request of the District First Sergeant, the owner of the wrecker service shall supply to the Patrol the full name, current address, date of birth, and photocopy of drivers license, valid work VISA, or other INS documentation for all wrecker drivers and owner(s) in order for the Patrol to obtain criminal history information.

(27) Being placed on the rotation wrecker list does not guarantee a particular number or quantity of calls, does not guarantee an equivalent number of calls to every wrecker service on the rotation wrecker list, nor does it entitle any wrecker service to any compensation as a consequence for not being called in accordance with the list or when removed from the rotation wrecker list. (28) The willful failure to respond to a call by the Patrol shall result in the wrecker service being placed at the bottom of any rotation wrecker list and the wrecker service shall then be "automatically bypassed" when that wrecker service comes up for its next rotation call.

Mercedes AMG stolen from me by Police Officers daughter who was caught red handed in the stolen AMG in Hilton Head. Palmetto Towing stole it from private property. A Crime Stopper called me and told me PALMETTO TOWING. When I called PALMETTO TOWING the guy said he wasn't allowed to look in the car to see who owned it or let anybody especial the owner. They never sent me a bill and hem my AMG, just tried to steal it but I caught them red handed. Now they will not let me have my stolen car, and the cops apparently want them to give the stolen car ring to them as a bribe to cover for their stealing MILLIONS in car from the HILTON HEAD SC area. Please help...

I am looking for information on Towing from a condo place where I Live. My wife and I have Work cars and when we are out working the condo place always tows our cars from the parking lot when they have snow plowing or any kind of cleanup work done in the condo. they tell us we should have been home to move them,. They never call us to let us know ahead of time. Can they do this? and if not what can we do about it?

the aparment manager tow my car coz his reason she pound person sleeping inside the car..she tow my car and we don't get any warning or phone calls..?what the best move to do to get my car back without paying the towing..

I have a question about NY repo lots that only accept cash is this legal? are they supposed to accept any other kinds of payment, such as credit card, etc?

The apartment landlord decides to belittle me through an email. Stating, everyone in the lot will have to move their cars due to snow removal. However to record remained in the law during that 24 hours you need to give a 72 hour notice to contact the police for citation, so I reported it stolen. So technically it was removed as landlord wanted to be a preditory on tenants by selecting only a few which is illegal.

Saying the 75 bucks will be added to my rent after going to court with them about eviction since she hadn't updated the financials even after the court date. According to her attorney she received the checks, according to her night before she didn't and day of said couldn't cash until verdict in a settlement which was to send in accumulative of both checks before the first which I did.

She is targeting tenants deliberately

my car got repossessed the 24th and the company was closed 3 days and now they are charging me is that legal?

My car was towed by ace towing two months ago. I have not been able to retrieve any of my personal belonging, likey vital records. How can I obtain them?

I emailed you all the info. Yesterday, please contact me.

From the other side of coin. I have been in the towing business which includes better than 20 years in the Trespass Towing or Private Property Towing, most states have laws that Trespass Towers must follow and punishments for those who don't. But it is the individual that has to take them to court, get your car and file suit against them. There are always going to be some tow companies that work outside of the law, but a majority of all towers are like every other business, just doing the job they were hired for. Property owners, apartments business's, and commercial area's need to have parking regulations or their lots would fill up with illegally parked, expired tags, no tags cars using 2 or more spaces or people that are not shopping or living where their car is parked. I'll give you an example, I have an authorization to tow for a drug store chain, the lot holds about 25 cars, I have a sign at all 3 entrances and 4 signs in the property so that no matter where you park a sign is visible, and the signs are 30" wide and 24" tall. From this property we tow anywhere from 20-30 cars a month, and everyone has a story why they should not of been towed. From I bought something before they closed, or there wasn't any parking on the street, Family emergeny or car broke down I like that one because they always drive it off my lot. Anyway I think a lot of people have forgotten what private property means. Did a tow today that the lady broke down at service station at the pumps, told attendant at station she was getting a tow truck and walked off, 5 hrs later they called me to tow. Her complaint now is they told her she was ok, yeah for an hr not 5, they have a business to run. And its their property. And I've read some of these stories and some are bad, but I can also read between the lines and know all the facts are not in a lot of these stories. I'm not saying some of my drivers haven't towed cars they shouldn't have but we take pictures and have GPS in our trucks, so between the pictures and knowledge of when and where my trucks are I can figure out the truth and will release the car and reprimand the employee. If I need to do that often I fire the employee. I know everyone thinks that tow companies pay property owners for tow's and maybe some do but the majority do not, seriously. I also believe if you are going to tow 24 hrs a day then you need to be open 24 hrs a day.

I regularly work in Kalamazoo, MI (100 miles from home). When I'm there, a board member puts me up in her condo. There are two areas in the parking lot for visitors. The last two times, both visitor lots were full. Otherwise, there is always a plethora of open spaces. I've parked on the south (not visitor) with no incident. By the way, these non-visitor areas do NOT have any warning signs. Yesterday, I got in at 10:30 PM. As usual, both visitor lots were full; so, again, I parked on the south. At 12:30 AM I noticed my car was gone. I immediately called police. Upon tracing my area, they confirmed my car had been impounded. I had to pay $140 in cash to get my car back. The people who live at the complex do not want to pay the extra monthly charge for a parking permit; so, they park in the visitor spaces. That's why there aren't any visitor spaces and there are at least three dozen open spaces other than what is marked for visitors. This sounds like a scam. The property owner has probably cut a deal with the local towing company to routinely patrol the lot looking for pigeons like me. This sounds really illegal. Do I have any recourse?

i WAS ILLEGALLY/WRONGFULLY TOWED. i WAS NEVER GIVEN A NOTICE FROM THE RESIDENTALMANAGER/OWNERS OF A PARKED VIOLATION, I HAD A PRIVATE PARKING AUTHORIZED PARKING PERMIT(displayed in the back of car windowed that I have had 6 years) AND MY OWN PRIVATE PARKING SPACE....I WAS GIVEN A PARKING CITATION BY THE TOWING COMPANY NOT BY THE CITY OF EL CAJON, CALIF....SO NOW WESTERN PRIVATE TOWING COMPANY HAS CONTROL OF WHAT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AND US CITIZENS CIVIL RIGHTS AND WHAT WE PAY THE POLICE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY TO DO. WELL I FEEL IF THEY CAN DO THIS WE DOIN/T NEED THE TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY TO DO THE JOB...WE SHOULD JUST CONTRACT OLLEGAL/ILLEGAL PREDITOR, TPW PATROLING TOWING COMPANIES TO DO THE JOB FOR THEM. I CALLED TO REPORT THE MATTER TO THE CITY OF EL CAJON, CA LAW ENFORCERS, AND THEY SAID ALL THEY DO IS RECORD THE REPORT FROM TOWING, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A GAINST THE LAW FOR THE TOWING BY THE TOWING COMPANY, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE KEEP REFERRING ME TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. ANYWAY AS JOE KINDA SAYS ON Investegation discovery channel.....my,my,my....this is a crime and somebody has to be accountable...well in my case nobody cares it wasnt their vehicle they worked there ass off to have as their person private property.....My civil rights has been violated, been abused as a United States citizen, a poor woman(my vehicle was the only thing I owed(paid off) attacked and robbed of my property stolen swindled/scammedddddd,abandoned by my own county law, disabled american, a victim, and very hurt(crying..humm, hmmm) and I don't feel like a american citizen any longer I feel rapped(molested) NOW i DON'T HAVE A CAR TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DOCTORS/SPECIALIST, GROCERY STORE AND OTHER NEEDED NECCESITIES I WEEKLY/MONTHLY NEED TO DO AS A DISABLED PERSON, THAT HAS TWO HEART ATTACKS,TWO STROKES, NO KNEES(PLACEMENTS) IMPLANTS, AND I WAS IN THE PROCESS PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL WARMING EMISSION PROGRAM TO HAVE A CLEAN VEHICLE GETTING MY CAR CLEAN WAS MY WAY OF contributing to the world,,,since I have lost my independents to work and some of my ability to move around. I AM SO DISAPPOINT IN OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND IN MY COUNTRY, BECAUSE NOBODY IS TALKING TO ME AND I FEEL ISOLATED AND ABANDONED AND MY CILVIL RIGHTS AND MY LIBERTY HAS BEEN INFRINGED AND VIOLATED .

THE TOWING COMPANY SAID A SPECIFIC OBSERVED TIME WAS THE DAY AND TIME THEY SAID, BUT I'VE BEEN PARKED THEIR FOR 6 YEARS...WHY WASN'T I TOWED 6 YEARS AGO INSTEAD OF SEPT 22, 2015. WHAT THEY JUST OBSERVED SOMETHING THAT WAS IN PLACE 6 YEARS AGO(I would think this obervation time towing stated would be against the law)...SHAME ON YOU WESTERN TOWING A VILLA GRANDE APARTMENT COMPLEX....I'VE BEEN TENANT FOR 7 YEARS, SHAME, SHAME SHAME!

This company illegally attempted to tow my car. The employees scam and deliberately attempt to steal money from hard working people. They wouldn't release my car even though i made a purchase at the establishment and i never left the so called property. I placed my purchased items in the car and walked away for 3 minutes. As i was still on the property but away from my car they proceed to attempt to tow me while i wasn't looking claiming that i left the property after patronizing. This was a Burger King Parking lot on a nyc street. They seem to find any way to bend the truth in order to make you seem as the guilty party. Due to the time i had to return to work i paid them to they can drop my car instead of me having to walk to the yard and miss hours of work. Even though it say $62 to drop my car they charged me $125. When i called to see why i was over charged for this illegal tow the owner didn't care. They know how to make excuses and bend ever law they can to steal your money. This company needs to be investigated and or be closed down. This was a liberate attempt to harm people and not good business. The parking lot was 10% full and the manager didn't complain as i spoke with them.

I rent an apartment and I need to have a sticker issued by owner of the apartment on back window of my car. Which I have. My car was towed and the reason is that it was parked backwards. So that way the towing guy could not see the sticker on my back window - but he sure he saw it once he got off his towing truck. I spoke to the owner of apts complex and I was told that the rules are not to park backwards. Ok they posted that request in the hall way... but anyway once I have the sticker which is the proof that a car belongs to the tenant of the apartment could they really legally tow my car? Isn't that request of parking certain way a same nonsense as requesting let's say to keep fresh flower inside your car otherwise it will be towed...?

My car was hit with debree from an accident, the tow company pulls up and offers to tow my car, we were down town Kansas city (I had just moved there) I ask the driver will the insurance e company be able to pick it up he tells me yes. On the pick up day they say I have to be there for the pick up, I think no problem, I find out they towed my car 30 min away, I explain to the owner I don't have any other car but the one he towed and since I just moved to kc I can't just ask for a ride. I try to explain my situation but the owner will not talk to me. Since I just started my job I have no time to take off, and he closes at 5 when I get off work so I explain this to the owner and he just tell me that's to bad. He refuses to work with me cause he knows I'm in a bad spot, and won't be able. To get there untill the weekend and he charging me 75 dollars a day. He will not even send e the paper work that he elegidly says I need to sign. Is there anything I can do.

I had my utility trailer that was parked on the street in between my house and my neighbors. Per my video camera system, an Officer was caught on Camera marking my tires to my trailer 8/12/15 at 3:03pm then a tow truck towing my trailer at 3:08pm. I was cited for "Parking in front of a driveway" and "Parking more than 72 consecutive hours." this is per Officer. Which again, I have camera's stamped with dates and times showing clearly my trailer being moved every other day. My camera's show my trailer was only parked at that point for only 1 day. I contested this ticket by complying with the Patterson Police Policy and in writing explain why I didn't believe this to be true and submitting my evidence, that they will keep no matter what they decide on. They ask for witness statements and pictures. So I printed out color snap shots of my video and submitted, mind you Patterson Police state they will respond within 48hours of receiving it. Well it has been 8 days and I have called and Patterson Police just tell me that the Seg. might be trying to get the Officers side and he will call me tomorrow, but "Tomorrow never comes" and my bill is getting bigger. I don't have the money to get it out as it's more than $700. Please help. Thanks for listening.

ANY ATTORNEY OUT THERE WANT TO HELP ME WITH THIS?

This is my second attempt to contact someone and my car has been towed twice since. Is anybody home? I need help by a lawyer experienced predatory towing please.

I was forced to pay well above legal limits for tow from turnpike. Complaining to turnpike didnt offer any help, they referred me back to magills. Was ordered to go back down for new receipt. While trying to leave i was attacked by owners. I had to break free and run. I was chased through town and assaulted. I have all evidence and towing laws and contracts. Turnpike refuses to acknowledge that i was overcharged, they basically let it happened and offered no real help getting it straightened out. Its like the turnpike is allowing their vendors to charge above contract. Predatory towing laws award treble damages on top of attorney fees. Even if my loss doesnt seem enough, they offer attorneys this incentive to make up for that. I need a lawyer to civilly sue this company for deceptive business practices and for the damages assaulting me, med bills ect. I hope i can convince you to help me threw this and expose this tow comp for their indiscretions

Was towed nonconsensual from pa turnpike, my wife had flat tire it was gone within 24 hrs of breaking down. I find it at magills auto. Bill was 325.00 i have receipt. The turnpike has their tow prices on their website and in their contract with magill. To tow passenger vehicle should have been 72.00 for tow, 3.50 per mile. Doesnt speculate about storage. My bill was 125.00 for tow plus extra 30 to hookup, 3.50 a mile at ten miles, n then they charged 45 dollars a day for two days when they didnt have it for even 24 hrs, most of which i had no clue it was even towed. Then to top it off the total was still 45.00 above all items listed. When i called turnpike they called magills n magills then called me n told me to come all the way back down for different reciept, when i did they handed me receipt, i asked if they could explain, they said heres ur reciept, theres the door. While walking out i took a pic of there wall of prices because there were no towing prices listed anywhere. A mark magill charged at me for taking the pic i tried to get out door, he grabbed me from behind, at exit door. I spun n broke free n ran. Him and several men from outside chased me down tackeled me drug me to side of road n assualted me kicking my groin n choking me unconscience. Mark then took my phone, went threw it, ripped the case off n smashed it on ground, finally when police arrived they cuffed me n put me in cop car, spent 15 min talking to them, then came to me, wouldnt let me tell him what happened n cited me for harassment n refused to arrest anyone.

Vehicle towed from private parking lot w/o authorization. "spotters" were used (black vehicle with cameras attached to hood - tented windows. Vehicle towed in excess of 50 miles (law allows tow within 10 miles). Vehicle moved in less than 72 hours without notice. Tow lot operated a Monday thru Friday 9-5 schedule (law mandates vehicle be available 24/7 - no matter reason for tow repo included). Same information reported to police within 1 hour of tow MUST be sent to owner via Certified mail within 3 business days. Unlawful tow no a misdemeanor punishable by $500 fine; 2 months imprisonment or both. Tow fees must be refunded + interest which equals 3 X actual cost to owner. Predatory Tow Law!!!

I was towed from what looked like a parking lot that was actually private property. The property owner has been asked many times to post signs but instead works with the towing company and calls the towing company when her property gets full of cars. She is getting part of the towing fee of $100 for each tow, according to witnesses. I was charged $2,900 plus storage fee of $2,32, because I called the police who said that it was a civil matter and that I should file small claims action against them.

On Jan 25, 08 @ 6:00pm (yesterday) I parked my car in the visitors parking area at my 70+ unit appartment complex. It was towed away between the hours of 6:00pm-6:45pm. The complex has one sign posted at one of the three entrances to the complex that reads, [homeowners or residents are not to park in onsite parking areas from six pm the evening prior through 9:00pm the day of a holiday. vehicles in violation of weekend and holiday regulations will receive a ticket]. This is my 2nd time being towed from my own home within six months and I never received a ticket. Please help.
