Enough is Enough
Mrs. T. Cox lived in an association community for 17 years. Over time, she got fed-up with the 24/7 towing and decided enough was enough. “They have made this neighborhood no longer feel like a nice place to call home.”
She sold her house within 2 weeks of posting her frustration on a community website.
Illegally Towed – Thief by Contract
Rev. Burns, has lived in a homeowners association community for more than 16 years, and parks her car in the same reserved parking space associated with her lot. On October 16, 2017, she took her car in for repair. Coming home, she reminded herself to stop at the guard’s house to retrieve a temporary parking permit.
When she arrived, there was no guard. Feeling anxious, she knocked on a few doors to borrow a parking pass. The next day the guard was on the premises, so she secured a 2 day parking permit. The pass was scheduled to expire on October 19, 2017 at midnight.
Her loaner car was tow exactly at 11:30 pm on October 19, 2017. She was awaken at 5 am by her husband informing her of the missing car. Immediately she called 911. They asked for the license plate, make, and vin number. She had nothing.
She alleged that homeowners in her community have been dealing with aggressive and illegal predatory towing practice since 2009. For some reason, she said; this year has been the worse.
Voices from the Neighborhood
Mr. N. Jamison, says, towing is hurting the residents pockets and social life because people don’t invite anyone over ……… We all work hard every day to keep a nice house and live our life. We don’t need to be dealing with this after long days and hours at work.
Mr. T. Porter, said that 24/7 towing is embarrassing, a racket, and a waste of time for him to drive to some crummy lot at night to take a friend to pay $175 to get their car back. A man who loves entertaining, has suddenly stopped.
