Illegal Towing Dispute Resolution

Summary

If your car was towed without proper signage or authorization in Mississippi, review local towing laws to ensure compliance. Request a written explanation from the towing company detailing the reason for towing. Consider filing a complaint with the Mississippi Attorney Generals Office if the towing was illegal. You may also pursue a claim in small claims court for the towing and associated costs.
