"Predatory towing" as a property owner and manager.

AltTabbins I got UtahFootballGM banned.

You can't be "predatory" towed away if you don't park where you aren't allowed to park

What you're describing isn't "predatory towing."

It is though. People saying us having the tow company check it a couple times a day is predatory.

Why did you post this? Have you been carrying this burden for some time? Glad you confessed. Now go and sin no more...

There are "predatory towing" laws. It's not what one person says it is or isn't

I think you need to look into this a little deeper. You'd be surprised. There's only 2-3 actual companies in the area.

I'd pay personally to release the car. This did happen in our Orem lot for emergencies or misunderstandings.

The thing is that they are only allowed to do what the owner and manager says. They will come to you with a "plan" and

Do you remember what the cost was to those towed?

Nothing for us. $175 if I remember correctly to get it out. I'd have to pay $50 out of pocket (and I did) for them to.

Just out of curiosity, do you get a cut of the towing company's revenue?

Not a penny.

The parking on the hill is great though. I loved it for football games. Easy walking distance for me an my family.

People are saying my situation wasn't predatory, but they did this. They patrolled.

I've lived in Provo for 25 years and never been towed. You're right, just obey

Someone posted another thread about it. I was just replying to the general topic since it was brought up. Slow work day.
