If you have a tow truck that is not for hire and personal use do you need Illinois tow plates?
Yes you do. I have an '86 F-350 wrecker that I only use for personal use and still have to have tow truck plates on it. The way they made it sound, any second division vehicle designed to transport another vehicle must have tow truck plates. Rollback trucks CAN use regular flat weight plates, but only if the car sitting on them is licensed to YOU. If it's licensed to someone else or not licensed at all, you can get in big trouble. The only DMV that you can get tow truck plates at in IL is the main one in Springfield. You can go to a remitter's office (commercial license and title service) and they can do it for you. The stupid thing is, they do not issue temporary plates for tow trucks, so you can't USE the truck until you get your permanent plates. The remitter's office here in my town only took a week to get the plates in from Springfield, but I still had to wait that week before I could use the truck. If you go to Springfield, they can give you the plates the same day. The good thing is, the tow truck plates don't cost any more than flat weight truck plates.
Can the bank cancel the plates on a car they have repossessed?
They can turn them in to the DMV, but do you want to take a chance on them doing that? Remember, the plates are yours and registered to you. If someone gets the plates and throws them on another vehcle and gets in an accident, say a hit and run and someone writes down the tag #, expect the police to come knocking on your door. To avoid a hassle, remove the plates from the vehicle. You have the right to since they belong to you, not the lender. If the car was taken before you could remove the plates, you have to get them back from the tow company. If your there when they are taking the car, the tow guy has to let you remove the plates. The plates do not stay with the vehicle and the tow co nor the lender has a right to keep them.

Is a towing company liable for damage to an automobile that is too low and modified to be lifted if they lifted it anyway?
If you can demonstrate that the tow company used the wrong tow equipment or attached in incorrectly, then the towing company may be liable for any damages your vehicle received. Take pictures, find out what kind of tow truck was used and get an opinion from an objective tow company. If it turns out they were wrong, you can sue them for damages.
