初來貴壇,多謝相助。
我們住安娜堡密西根州。昨天,孩子跟朋友們在downtown 買奶茶,把車停在一個私人apartment 停車場,(有Warning sign),大概停了十幾分鍾。回來發現車給拖走了,打電話給拖車公司,被告之要付345刀,而且必須是現金。車已經拿回,就想問一下有沒有contest tow ticket 可能性。有幾個問題:
- 拖車公司如何定價?
- 隻要現金合不合法?
另外看了一下網上建議,不知道對不對:
3可以challenge 拖車公司excess charge, 不知道怎麽才算excess
4. Failure to Present Tow Ticket
Regarding how to negotiate towing fees, you can dispute a tow when they fail to give you a tow ticket. Similarly, if they provide you with tow tickets without company name and certificate number, you can dispute the tow and get your car without paying.
給了Tow ticket, 上麵有公司名字,但是沒有certificate number,算不算violation
- Failure to Present a Written Notice of Your Rights. When a towing company refuses or fails to provide you a written notice of your rights, you can fight the tow charges.
這個拖車公司沒給,但是不清楚是不是可以做為一個論據
多謝專業人士的幫助。
