What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Washington
I'm trying to dispute the impounding of my car.
The car was parked in front of my house, which is marked (recently marked) as no parking zone, but with signs visible only from one side. I usually travel in the opposite direction, so haven't really seen the signs until now :-(
What happened is that the car was impounded just as I left on a 2 week trip. When I returned the car was missing. Very worried I asked a few neighbors, and found out that some other cars have been impounded as well by some towing company. The problem I have is that I've never been notified by either police or the towing company about the impound, and as a result the redemption fee reached 800$ after approx. 2 weeks. I already paid it, but I would like to dispute based on the fact that I haven't been notified as I was out of town (I have records proving that). Do I have any chances to win such a dispute?
Thanks,
Cornel
