Attorney General Mark R. Herring has filed a lawsuit against Advanced Towing Company, LLC, a towing and recovery operator based in Arlington, Virginia. The Complaint alleges that Advanced Towing has violated Virginia and Arlington County towing code provisions, resulting in towing conduct that is “frequently predatory, aggressive, overreaching and illegal.”
“Virginia consumers should not have to worry about towing companies acting illegally or employing predatory, unsafe business practices,” said Attorney General Herring. “My team and I will continue to hold towing companies and bad actors accountable when they break the law and take advantage of consumers.”
The Complaint alleges that Advanced Towing has employed tow truck drivers who are not properly registered with the Commonwealth, implemented a practice of unsafely towing vehicles, towed vehicles without the proper legal authority, unlawfully towed police vehicles and commercial delivery vehicles like Amazon delivery vans, and failed to maintain appropriate contracts with property owners authorizing tows.
Attorney General Herring is seeking restitution on behalf of consumers, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, and asking the court to ban Advanced Towing from further violating the Virginia and Arlington County towing code provisions
I parked legally in the shopping center on the corner of Glebe and Columbia Park roads. I went into Boston Market and bought my lunch. This was about 11:10. Since I was alone I took my lunch to the car and ate while listeing to the radio. When I was finished I walked across the street to get my nails done. I had to pick my daughter up at 12, so I just got half a service. It took 15 minutes. I walked back to my the lot and my car was gone. I went into Boston Market and asked if my car was towed. They said to talk to the guys in the corner. They weren't there so I went into another business to ask the number of the tow company. By the time I got out the tow guys were back. I went and asked them why I was towed, that I had bought my lunch in Boston Market. They immediately started yelling at me that I was a liar, and to go back to Florida I wasn't wanted here and more. I tried to explain what that I had eaten there, my receipt and food was still in the car. I had coupons I had been given after giving a donation at the restaurant for cancer that was in my purse. They said I parked and walked right across the street. That wasn't remotely true, and not what happened. When I got to the tow lot I showed the lady my receipt. She said I modified the receipt and changed the time on it. I don't even think that is possible. She also told me she saw the video of me cussing at the tow drivers. Well, that never happened and I asked to see the video, which of course she didn't produce. I am absolutely amazed on how I was treated and they get away with this racket.
