Question:

I live in Florida . A tow company towed my car when my boyfriend wrecked it. The price for storage was over $8?

I told the tow company to keep the car. They took the car to the crusher without the title. I tried to give them the title,but they want the money, what can I do?

Answer:

I think you need to get your story straight.
what do you want to do? You did not want the car the tow company has the right to recover some of their money by selling the car for scrap. Over $8. for storage I hope you mean more than eight dollars.
Your boyfriend wrecked it, the tow company came out and recovered the wrecked car, maybe even had to put it back on its wheels, you gave no details at all, towed it to their secure impound yard and safely stored it to keep it from further harm, and only charged you $8 for storage? My daily storage charge is $15, so you got a bargain. I also infer by your question that you didn't have insurance coverage that would cover this wreck, correct? Telling the tow company to keep the car doesn't make much sense. It's like telling the doctor to keep your appendix instead of paying him. The tow company already has your car, and if a certain time passes and you don't pick it up, they own it anyway. If, after the time passed and you didn't pick it up, they took it to be crushed, it was worth scrap value only and the way scrap prices are per ton, they got very little. But they did have the additional expense of pulling the gas tank and battery, and towing it a second time to the crusher. Now, to answer your question What can I do? Two words. Pay them.
