<![CDATA[Taking a business to small claims court]]>I have a couple hundred bucks to dispute over with my current rental company and I am going to take them to small claims court. Just wondering the best way to go about it. I will not be hiring a lawyer but I do have enough supporting evidence to win my case.
My truck was towed after I was claimed to be parked in front of my garage in the "fire lane" for over an hour(I was stopped there to unload something out of my truck for maybe 3 or 4 minutes.) They called the tow truck but I had my truck parked in a legit parking spot near my garage. So when the tow truck came, they towed it out of a regular parking spot that I was OK to park in... I ended up not having a vehicle for 12 hours and paying 200 dollars to get it out of the impound. If I did not have another vehicle I wouldve been screwed. Looking at my receipt I noticed that the name of the Tow Request was "RES. Manager Jessica"...
Jessica is the chick who owns the cats... the ones I've been complaining about to the rental agency. (http://www.fargostreet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17951) Now she has my car towed... I was also informed that I am the only person to ever have their car towed from these 6 buildings by management... EVER. Do I have a case? They have no proof I was parked there, but I do have a receipt from the towing company that describes where it was towed from, and the description is of a regular parking spot.

That being said Tony is right. They showed up and it wasn't in the fire lane, too bad so sad. You have a case.

p.s. I'm not sure if the chewbacca defense will be of use to you in this one.

lmao

Can't do it now. They were doing $75 a month for 3 services. Since I wasn't under a promo rate, I went in there and got that rate on my existing account. Just had to sign a 1 year contract. From what I understand, that was only supposed to be for new accounts, so somebody messed up. Saved me over $500 in total though.

Clearly it does not, because Will said it doesn't,

even though basically everyone else has it for under $100.

Yeah I already called them today to see what I can do...and that thing is nothing. For NORMAL (not economy aka heavily restricted) internet and normal basic cable this is the cheapest it is*. So I have NO idea how Faber is paying less than $100/month for the exact same thing I am getting...unless he doesn't have normal internet (3mb).

*without promo rates.

The only thing that could go wrong with Jason's advice is if the company does have proof that you where parked in a fire lane.

If there is no signage or rules in your lease about being parked where they are saying is a fire lane it should be pretty straight forward case.

I have never had a cable one bill over $100. I have basic cable and 3mb internet.

Listen, even if he WAS parked in a fire lane, if they came to the building and he was moved, it's no longer an issue, like I already pointed out earlier. If they got there and hes in the fire lane, well shame on him. If this is the case, then anytime you drop someone off in a fire lane somewhere, they could come to your house and tow it...NOT happening.
