My question involves a traffic citation from the state oRecently I had my car towed from a town house guest parking lot because my visitor pass expired and I did not get to move my car in time.
The car was towed from Newark to Irvington by a tow truck company contracted by the security company who does security for the town houses.
I picked up the car within 2 hours of being towed, I was charged $295. The fees listed on the receipt were $125 towing, $75 labor, $50 special equipment, 'adm' $30, storage $15. This needed to be paid in cash only as they don't accept credit cards.
Now I called this company and asked them how much it would cost to tow my car from newark to irvington as if I was needing a tow, they said the cost is $100.
According to the laws I have read, the company is not supposed to be charging more then 25% then a normal tow. I referenced this A3812 Predatory Towing Prevention Act (http://www.gsta.org/njtowinglaws.pdf)
Am I missing something or do I have a valid case to take to small claims court?
