Predatory Towing Trend

Lehi, Utah – Police Chief Darren Paul and prosecuting attorney warned city officials of a trend in predatory towing.

“They will come through the area and tow for whatever violations they see,” Police Chief Darrin Paul said. “It ends up being a moneymaker for the towing company with no recourse for the people who have their cars towed.”

“There are tow companies that move into Lehi for business and contract with local homeowners’ associations. According to Paul, the steady growth in the city only guarantees predatory towing, or “at-will” towing, will get worse.”

“We’re trying to head it off before it becomes too big of a problem,” Paul said.

“We’ll make it so they can’t be in cahoots with an HOA because that is what is going on,” Paul said………..”We want to give some rights back to the homeowner.”
