Your Tow Bill Might Be Illegal. Fight It.
Predatory lots pad the bill with bogus fees and a storage clock that ticks every day - betting you'll just pay to make it stop. Answer a few questions and get a firm demand letter built on your state's actual fee limits, ready to send.
Takes about 3 minutes. No account.
Sound familiar?
If any of these happened to you, some of your charges may break your state's towing laws.
- A "$150 administrative fee" you never agreed to.
- Storage fees ticking up every single day until you pay.
- Cash only - so you can’t dispute the charge with your bank.
- No warning signs where you actually parked.
- They refuse to itemize the bill.
- They’re holding your car - and everything in it - until you pay in full.
They're counting on the pressure - your car locked up, the storage clock running - to make you pay fast instead of fighting. A letter that quotes the law turns that pressure back on them.

Dispute FAQs
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a self-help document you send on your own behalf. TowingCosts.com is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The letter is built from public state statutes plus the details you enter - the same public rules a lawyer would cite.
Will a letter actually do anything?
There is no guarantee, but a letter that cites your state’s specific fee limits and rules changes the math for the company: refund the overcharge now, or face a documented demand and the evidence you would need in small claims court. It moves you from "angry customer" to "someone who knows the law."
Can’t I just write it myself or find a free template?
You can. The difference is your state’s specific fee caps and signage rules (buried in the vehicle code, not obvious online) and the exact agency to escalate to. This fills those in for your state and your charges, so you are not guessing.
How is this different from a lawyer?
An attorney typically charges $300 or more to draft a single demand letter and can take one to two weeks - and first you have to find one, call, and wait. This is generated from public state law plus your inputs, so you get a comparable letter in minutes for a fraction of the cost in most straightforward overcharge cases.
