My car was driven by someone with out my permission


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

A couple of months ago, I gave my car to a towing company so that they could dismantle it after I had crashed it in a car accident. A few months later, I recieved a parking ticket and and letter from the sheriffs department saying that my car was impounded for being parked in the wrong place and that I will have to wait 30 days to get my car out of the impound. So it turned out that someone else was drving my car because the towing company that I gave my car to so that they would dismantle it instead fixed it and sold it to someone else without my permission and while the car was still under my name. So now I have to pay a parking ticket and about more than 1,000 dollars to take my car out of the impound. So my question is if I could sue the towing company that sold my car?

Can I ask you why you left your registration with the car you got rid of?

You did give the tow company permission to do anything they could with it, I assume, when you gave it to them... did you expect it back after it was dismantled?


Why would you have to get the car out of impound?? why would you pay the ticket? where is the title? Don't you need the title to get it out of impound? Why dont you just tell them you got rid of that car and it should not be on the road under your name, because it is not your car!


Its not your car anymore, you gave it to the tow company to be destroyed...
