Thats a bit harsh. Sounds like he's just lost a car. I have zero time for boy racers but dont think the OP is

Wow must be potty mouth friday.
If it was only 6 odd weeks as you say , that's pretty harsh of them . And to get the run a round like you did is harsh.
Report as stolen (don't hope you will get it back koz cops won't do anything but makes your case stronger) then take it to fair go and court. You'd need to prove you own the vehicle and that you received no information relating to them warning of selling it to cover costs etc etc

Did the towie give you any forms when you car got towed! You must have seen the tow company name on the truck somewhere.they must have spoken to you & informed you of the impound rules.

I think so too, and am just wondering if any body else has faced anything similar and if anyone has had any success on getting their car back

My partner was driving the car at the time and he does not recal being given any papers what so ever.The polce said all papers will be sent in the mail, including the fine

Your best bet is to head to fair go.
If you serious . go to your lawyer , get a written statement stating your side of the ordeal.That you didn't receive the proper or full documentation regarding the vehicle fees and warnings of being sold.

Yes this is my interpretation also. So why would the towies make up some BS and fob you off like that! Surely the police who work with the towing company on a daily basis should help you out. You may have to see a lawyer, just to clarify your rights in this situation.

I'll be going to the lawyer on Monday if I get no joy from the wreckers tomorrow

To be honest if it was me I wouldn't have waited 1.5 months to track car. The next day I would have rung asking for all details and went past to make sure car was there etc. May have shot yourself in foot by not following it up sooner but still can't see it being legal no one letting you know it would be sold to recover costs

lot of hate coming from you to the OP, hope its not a racial thing

Dont they have to keep it for 6 months before you can sell it
nita.g,
Aug 10, 8:57am
Thanks.I do believe my partner never got any documentation regarding the towie cos he would had given it to me and I know we didn't recieve anything in the post either.

I've met good towies and bad ones, i would hope that a company that the police choose to work with on contract wouldn't be dodgy
