Hello Floyd. I understand that your vehicles were towed. Could you please clarify if there was any prior notice given before the towing? This information will help me understand your situation better.

Hello Floyd, in Ohio, it's illegal for a towing company to overcharge you beyond the maximum rates set by the Public Utilities Commission. If they didn't provide a notice, it may also be a violation. Did you receive an itemized invoice for the charges?
no
Hello Floyd, you should have received an itemized invoice and a prior notice before towing. In Ohio, the law also sets maximum rates for towing. Here are your options:
- File a complaint with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
- Consider legal action for any violations.
