My car was removed from on front of my own home on private property. We thought for sure it was stolen because in the 5 weeks we've lived here not once has either my husband nor I been informed that our community enforces towing. In my journey to locate my car I spoke to an employee and simply asked who requested the tow so I'd know who to contact for disputing this, and based on his hyper defensive response it was immediately clear who was responsible.. I tried to communicate that there is no signage mentioning towing because I'd actually went and looked specifically for that just hours before, knowing my son would have to park on the street due to our moving boxes arriving earlier that day and filling the garage. He was rude and aggressive and tells me "ma'am you broke the rules and got caught, now you need to pay the price" ! No sir, that is incorrect. See, you do not get to force consequences onto me that I did not willingly expose myself to. I did my due diligence assessing my risk, and in the absence of tow away signage I made a decision to violate my HOA policy knowing all too well that at worst would lead to a warning or small citation at which point the issue would be resolved as our garage would be cleared out .. So while I chose to break HOA rule, this man and this company actually broke the LAW!! With your logic "wrong is wrong", then I will be damned if I pay you to violate my rights. I'm not held to ADOT, city and state standards of practice, you are, and enforcing towing on private property without adequate signage is in direct violation, You also kept my vehicle a whole extra day despite law stating you needed to be available to release it, you were unreachable until the 4th attempt and then returned call from unknown number over an hour later, hung up on me when I called at 10am literally in route, and then told my husband at 2 pm that you were "away for the day" despite closing at 5, on top of that you stated "cash only" on the phone which is also unlawful. So that is 3 blatant violations right there and you want to tell me about rules and consequences?? My husband informed you that the signage is nonexistent but you chose to charge him $275 anyway, and had the audacity to say it was "probably" me who removed your stickers . So I've gathered my evidence, including the clearly visible rain and sun rot residue where stickers once were, videos/photos of the post where there's SUPPOSED to be a tow enforcement sign at the entrance of our community, and I'm also putting flyers on every door in our community to see who else was affected by your predatory and unlawful towing on private property and we will be meeting again in court. I submitted a formal complaint with ADOT last night and quite frankly I'm hell bent on making it crystal clear who needs a lesson in accountability here. I told you repeatedly I didn't want to fight with you on the phone but you continued to overpower, insult, and steal not just our property but our money as well. Two people in my home use that car for door dash and uber as their sole income so you will be covering lost wages.and the TV that was in the back seat exposed to the summer heat for two days will not turn on now, and had you made yourself available to retrieve our vehicle as you're obligated to do, we could have had the ability to protect our property from the elements. But you didn't do that because I respectfully disputed your actions and you wanted to show me who' makes the rules.. This is so blatantly unacceptable and unlawful it's going to be open and shut in court. I'm honestly shocked that you actually went thru with taking our money. And I will see what we can get accomplished in person or in court regarding your contract because I don't pay HOA to hire criminals to prey on us. I'm honestly disgusted that people and businesses like this exist. - Kristina Capello read more
