You have stumbled upon one of the great questions that has bothered insurance adjuster throughout the country at one time or another.\n\nI am an insurance adjuster and owned a body shop and tow company as well.\n\nMost of the time, a larger wrecker company will be on the tow list of one or more are police or sheriffs departments or highway patrols.\n\nTo get on most of this rotation lists, the company will have to provide proof of insurance or at least insurance information to the police department.\n\nCall the police or sheriffs department in the town or county where the company is located and speak to the officer in charge of tow lists.\n\nIf nothing else, this officer has a GREAT deal of influence even on tow companies that are not on rotation and can call the company and get this information.\n\nA lot of these slimy tow companies will post signs about not responsible for damaged vehicles or stolen items. These signs or statements are worthless as your vehicle is in the "Care, Custody and Control" of these companies. \n\nYou simply can not post a sign to waive bailment.

SINCE THIS WAS 1ST PARTY COLLECTIONS THERE IS PRETTY MUCH NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.  THE FDCPA ONLY COVERS 3RD PARTY COLLECTIONS, AND THIS WOULD BE 1ST PARTY.\n\nTHERE ARE REALLY NO LAWS COVERING 1ST PARTY COLLECTIONS, SO, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK.\n\nWHY WOULD THEY HAVE ASKED FOR THE TITLE TO THE CAR, THEY SHOULD ALREADY HAVE IT IF THEY WERE THE LIEN HOLDER ON THE CAR.  WAS IT A SIGNATURE LOAN OR DID YOU USE THE CAR AS COLLATERAL ON THE LOAN.  YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE TITLE.  YOU DO REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU GAVE THE CAR BACK IT IS STILL GOING TO SHOW AS A "VOLUNTARY REPOSSESSION" ON YOUR CREDIT.\n\nGOD LUCK!

I would go to the police department, which impounded your car, and ask they what you have to do to get the CHP 180 to release your vehicle from the tow yard.  Explain to them what happened and they "might" release the vehicle to you.  A 30 day impound is very expensive.  I would say between $1000-1500.  The cops aren't the ones that will charge you, the tow yard will charge you tow fees as well as a daily storage fee.  Your friend now has a fat ticket to pay and has cost you alot of money.  Be more carefull in the future.  Suspended DL's in Cali are expensive, but at least you don't go to jail for them like most states.

What you need to do is file a police report and report the car as stolen.  Once that's done you'll get your car back.  You don't need anything other then the title to have a tow company tow the car.  Once they have proof of the title showing you as sole owner (if your ex is on the title you have NO right to take the car or report it as stolen) they can tow it and ship it for you.  If you don't want a lien to be placed by the tow company you MUST PAY UPFRONT ALL COSTS, otherwise they have the legal right to a lien until paid regardless of if you didn't sign allowing a lien.  (All states allow tow companies to claim liens until paid)

Depending on the sellers rating you 'might' have had redress (through Paypal if you had used them) at one stage but because you carried out repairs, that deems you have accepted the vehicle.  If you push the seller, they may accept taking it back (well who wouldnt, you just spent 3k on it).  They are under no obligation to refund money you have spent on it.  The best chance you may have is if you can prove the MOT is illegal and then go after the garage that gave it, again because you have had many repairs carried out, I suspect this would also be an impossible route to prove.\n\nSorry its not better news.

NO, you do not have to pay they are just saying that because they want the money however, if you want the car back you'll have to. Just let'em eat it, its part of the towing business. There are no laws requiring you to have to pay.

Talk to a lawyer.  You're going to have to sue, but you should be able to get your car back if you act before his creditors seize it or he parts it out.

not every lender reports to credit agencies...plus there are 3 agencies...did u check all 3?  \n\ncall to find otu which one they report to and if they dont ask them for a record of your payments.  then tell them "does this mean I can NOT pay you and nothing will happen if you cant find the car?"

Usually it is a company that repos vehicles, when you don't pay the monthly payment.  They have the right, as long as it is in the driveway, and not garaged.\nIf it is the police, then you probably know the answer, or, someone in your house does, for sure.

this is gonna be impossible to prove , the fact is your car was there around that time , and you arguement that it was only a matter of minutes will work both ways , you say 6;59 she says 7;04 , if you go in saying you were there at 6;59 that is like admiting guilt ......... you are gona lose time from work going to court  and a letter is a laughable defense ....... just pay the cash and move the car at 6;30 next time

Truthfully, NONE!  Cars are a joke and the getting around a finance company that paid for your car is a joke.  Sorry, I wish I had better news for you.\n\n\nI just want to add of the about 50 lemon cases that I have been involved with, only about 3 came out on top in ways all 50 should have.  Credit, cars, credit cards and financing is ruining this country.\n\nTake Care

Because they sold it for below market value to eat some of their losses.  You have to make up the difference.  It's not their fault that you couldn't pay for the car that YOU bought, so why should they be stuck with the remainder of the bill?

past experience would say that, I woke up in the morning and went out to the garage just tinkering around.  Then all of a sudden I heard back up signals I went to the garage door opened it and behold there was a flatbed towing truck!!  On top of it was a 1937 dodge business coupe (a wreck!) as far as my wife was concerned one of the best memories I will ever have!! I had driving by this car in that field for 3 years and she took it upon herself without me knowing purchased it. So if  you really do listen to this person you will really know what to do! PS that was eight years ago it is on the road and we have completed 4 more good luck!!

Yes it is and they have every right to have it towed.  It is not a used car lot....and have no license to allow it.  What if everyone did that?\nIf you are just visiting the store...that is another matter, you are a customer. merely using a car you wish to sell.

In California, the police must mail the registered owner a notice of storage, to the registered owner's address held by the DMV, as soon as practicle, and no more than 24 - 48 hours after the tow is completed.  This notice will include storage location information, the legal authority to tow the vehicle and contact information for whoever is storing the vehicle.\n\nIf the tow is completed by a private party (such as it was towed out of a store parking lot because you left it there to long) you will need to get ahold of the business requesting the tow and deal with them.\n\nIf your tow was completed by the police, they should give you the information needed to recover your vehicle.  If you have problems with the desk clerk or officer, demand to talk to a supervisor.  You may get resolution through a supervisor when you can't otherwise.
