Slander is not my intent, furthermore; reference to
research reflects no negative allegations against any particular
company. Lobbying to develop
legislation in Tennessee is my sole purpose at this point in the matter. Davidson County requires an impounded car to be
reported to the Counties’ impound within two hours of the tow so a call to
the police department will locate the car timely. As a company would deny the profitably of the suspected
procedures, I ask for fair investigation. There are no presumptions targeting
one single company’s finances. When a
company documents that they stand to loose money in a case such as this, why
would they not be open to reasonable negotiation if they were facing
financial loss? Negotiation would be
a smart and good business practice to result in a win/win for everybody. Below is my final response
to the company’s last response via the Better Business Bureau: The validation of the tow has never has been an
issue. The property management
company did document a warning was on the car one day, May 27, 2006. We
cannot verify any warning was given. This was a holiday weekend. There wasn’t
a need to drive the car. I have attached the Abandoned Vehicle
Form used in this matter. It states a “HOLD HARMLESS” clause
to release their client from any charges accrued. Why do they suggest to pursue liability with the property
management company and or board as
the signed agreement between the lien-holder / client did in fact release
liabilities form their clients? Most importantly this addresses taxing issues regarding
false accusations. I know not who called on the 3rd and 4th of
June. We did not know the towing company to contact until the 5th
of June and this can be validated. Phone records can prove I did place a call
to the company on the 5th, 6th, and 7th. No
yelling, cursing, or threats were made by me can be confirmed by co-workers
whom witnessed the calls. I have
shared with persons knowing me well. They get a real kick out of the
allegations the company makes regarding my behavior. They know me to be calm
yet assertive and professional in any situation no matter how uncomfortable
it gets. The Abandoned Vehicle Form the board sent to the
company is asterisked that the car was “*on grass.” The company states this is why the tow charge is higher. Neighbors that had a good view of the car
attest that the car was not on grass. I did notice in the company’s latest
documentation, the statement has been revised to read “partially” on grass.
Importantly, stated again, “the car in question is not unclaimed or
abandoned.” The charges, due to company’s demands, are too costly and
unreasonable to get the car. I will continue aggressive efforts for investigation in
hopes Tennessee can adopt better regulations protecting the consumers in
Tennessee. This matter has been
