Yes. They are a business like any other. While their business is to address your problems, the problems are yours. They have the right to reimbursement.
If your car were impounded by a government entity, you would be assessed for weekend storage regardless that government offices are typically closed weekends. This is no different.
Absolutely, their business is private property. As long as they have some kind of signage, or wording on the repair order you signed when you dropped your car off then you have no argument to make. If there was no notice of fees up front then you may have something to negotiate with.
yes
as many days as it is there if the car is there they can charge
If my vehicle was repossessed at 8:00 pm and I paid the lien holder the full amount to pay off the loan. Can the towing company charge two days of storage when I picked up my vehicle at 1:00 pm the following day?
Yes. Each garage has its own policy regarding how long a vehicle can remain after repairs are completed.
I'm pretty sure it's indefinitely Once a customer is given a pick up date (normally that day or the next) anything beyond that can be charged storage fees up until the vehicle is removed. A lot of repair shops have a maximum length of time they will store a vehicle though, and once that is met or exceeded they reserve the right to repossess the vehicle to cover storage fees.
YES, IF YOU OWE THEM MONEY, THEY CAN HOLD AND CHARGE STORAGE. Also check your state laws,because in many states a garage can place a mechanics lean on your vehicle and after 30-90 days they can sell your vehicle at auction or a set price to cover the cost of the repairs.....
In the state of Florida, there is no specific law that allows for a lease with a storage facility to be canceled within 3 business days. Once a lease is signed, it is generally binding unless there are specific provisions in the lease agreement that allow for early termination. It is important to review the terms of the lease agreement for any cancellation clauses or discuss termination options with the storage facility management.
They can charge storage from day ONE of the repo. Read your contract. MERRY CHRISTMAS That last answer is only partially correct. In California repo men are required to send you an initial notice that has to have some specific things listed in it. Its called the notice of seizure. One of the things is that they have to tell you the towing and storage fees associated with the vehicle. That first notice (which must be given within 48 hours of seizure unless part of that 48 hours is a Sat. or Sun. the they have 72 hours to notify you) allows them to charge for the first fifteen days. After that initial notice they are required to mail you another notice, certified mail, before the fifteen days expire in order to be able to to charge you for more than that first fifteen days. If they dont mail that second notice then they can only charge you for fifteen days. If they dont mail you the first notice telling you the charges then they give up any right to any compensation for storage or towing
You have 30 days to file a claim. You must have a police report of what missing and the date it happen or when you noticed something
Usually 7 to 30 days are allowed to be charged depending on the towing company and state law and local laws in the area.
AnswerI have recently learned that the Department of Finance regulates collection agencies as well as finance companies. I was emphatically told that in a vehicle repossession, the towing company/repo company cannot, repeat, cannot charge a separate storage fee for your personal belongings. They belong to you. If you are told that they can charge for the goods, the goods, under the credit law means the good that can be repossessed under the loan which is the vehicle or the home, not the personal belongings. Call your local Consumer Protection agency to get help. I know this is the law in Maryland for a fact. It took me 30 days, but I am going to pick up my personal belongings tomorrow and I do not have to pay a storage fee for them. Tammy//This is true but you are not getting charged for your personal property it is for their time to remove it and give it to you. J D Recovery LLC
Most impounding agencies charge a storage fee for items left in a repossessed vehicle. The usual amount of time the person has to reclaim their possessions in such a situation without having to pay such fees is 3-5 business days.
They can charge you but you will not owe them. Your best bet is to pay the fees, then using your witnesess that heard them say in person "we do not have your vehical here" on the first of the five days appear in small claims court with you to recover your money plus damages.
