[QUOTE="beast1989, post: 2018915, member: 15449"] I was picking up my second vehicle that my little brother managed to get towed in Chandler, Ok. This is one of the worst experiences of my life. Long story short I asked the business owner what the slew of charges were for and he showed me a book of all the fees he could legally charge me. I checked the bill to see if the fees were matching up with the guidelines. He gets offended that I was going through the bill thoroughly and asked if I was 'questioning his charges' I said 'no but I want to make sure everything is correct'. He took the bill out of my hand and names off all these extraneous charges that he could "technically" charge me, then he scribbles out the total and writes in a higher total. After detesting the extra fees I knew there wasnt much I could do. He asked me what I was going to do about it and If I was going to call the police. Police only handle criminal matters so I told him Im not calling the cops. He was definitely trying to egg me into getting riled up. He named all these regulations and stuff that gave tow truck companies power to keep your car until the fees are paid. I told him he was a POS and he kicked me out of his business. After paying all the extra fees I finally got my car back. Is there anything a consumer can do about situations like this? I feel screwed and powerless.... (I know this is not written too well but Im fuming from this incident) [/QUOTE]
