Re: help

You would be well advised to consult with a DC attorney who can review this aspect of DC forfeiture law but I believe that the District could only hold you responsible for the difference(if any)between what the car brings from the auction sale and the $1000 which they claim that you owe for storage.

I am also of the opinion that if more than $1000

is realized from the auction of your vehicle that the District would have to refund to you the amount in excess of the storage fees.
