Do you live near a Nordstrom store? Because if you do this is what you should do. Go to Nordstrom and buy $500 dollars worth of merchandise(using yourcredit card) then return it the same day getting cash back. Trust me fams I do this sometimes when I need cash and only have CC. Hope this helps.

Depending on who had it towed, honestly, you could report it stolen, if it wasn't the cops who had it done.

I had a buddy who did this a few years ago.

A private company towed his car from a parking lot next to his apartment building.

He claimed they wrongly towed it (when they didn't), but nevertheless, they weren't a reputable agency and buddy called them out on that in front ofthe cops, accused them of "slamming" to make money. He made such a scene, they wanted him and the cops gone, so they opened the gates and let himdrive away.

Only way this wouldn't work is if the cops had it towed or if the cops use the same towing company.

Where in the world did $500 come from I got my car towed the other night and it was a flat $75 fee plus $4.50/mile plus tax they're pulling your leg

...you can't set up a payment plan?

in NYC...it's about $300 when you get your car towed.

$150 for getting towed.
$150 for the ticket

at least now you learn an important lesson in life, and that lesson is that all tow truck drivers/companies are CROOKS. anyway, if borrowing money fromfriends/fam doesn't work out that nordstrom idea sounded decent.

where were you parked that it ran you 500?

This will work....I never tried it but Nordstrom has the most Loyal return policy in retail...Point blank....Their* SA's are told to honor everyreturn...My girl use to work there.

No tags needed, no reciepts needed....

Damn that sucks. My girl went through something similar. Ended up having to pay like $600 or something. Those impound fees are killer too. I guess the towtruck business is where its at if you wanna make money these days.

[antbanks81]

can you get a cash advance from your card?

Maybe you know someone getting ready to make a cash purchase and you can use your cc with them and take cash.

Sorry to hear about your trouble...it seems everyone is out to get the little money most of us have

 

[funkdoctor73]

I've had my car towed, and they are STRAIGHT HUSTLING you. For one day, the most, and i mean most is $150. I would call the cops as there should not be anysheriff fees because it was blocking someone, meaning they called someone to tow to move them and most places charge $35 a day. Also, they do not, I REPEAT donot get funded by California. Only the ones on the freeway are funded by Cali. Tow companies are the grimiest people I have ever met. When i crashed my STI,dude lied to me and then charged me 3X more...As for towing, its not more than $100.

call the nearest sheriff or PD first and verify they were called to check out your car. If they weren't, report the tow company for bogus charges. Then thesheriff will escort you to the tow yard and demand your car back or they will face charges.
