Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

good morning, i have a situation in which i need to know if i should seek legal counsel for. my car was towed from my friends complex, but not by my finance company. In the interim of this the finance company did have a repossession notice out on my car. The company that towed the car did send the finance company a letter, however when the finance company tried to contact them they(tow company) informed them that i took possession of the vehicle which was not true. The finance company continued to reach out to the tow company to see about getting the car back, but at this point the tow company would not respond or would say that i had the car. The day after the tow company sold my car in an auction they contacted the finance company and stated that they no longer had the car and because of no response the car had been sold in an auction. The car company would have allowed me to get the car back if they were able to obtain from the tow company but because of all the back and forth this has not happened. In the interim the Finance company is informing me that i will have to pay for the car. I was wondering is there anything that can be done about this matter or is it just another repossession gone bad.

You have a good case against the towing company and I suggest you see a lawyer. I handle such cases in south Florida. If you are not in south Florida, see NACA website for help.

The towing company has some strict rules they must follow to sell a car. Hire an attorney like Mr. Marino to pursue your legal rights. You still owe the money to the finance company.
