Colorado Roadside Posse

[redacted] So I found out that the towing "drop charge" was unlawful(Claim against Colorado Roadside Posse)"If the owner, authorized operator, or authorized agent of the owner of a motor vehiclewith a GVWR of less than 10,pounds that is parked without the authorization of theproperty owner appears in person to retrieve the motor vehicle after a tow truck ispresent and either backed up in align with such motor vehicle or tow equipment hascome into contact with such motor vehicle, but before its removal from the property, themaximum drop charge (whether motor vehicle is hooked up or not) is $and theminimum drop charge is $and may be less per municipality ordinances."

"Clearly Posted Warning A tower must have written consent from the property owner or his agent, who must have waited one hour before calling for the towAlso, a sign not less than inches by inches in size should be displayed in plain view at all entrances to the property." I was there for less than minutes before trying to leaveThe other statement I believed to be law was that "If you return to your car and it is being hookto a tow truck but IT IS NOT FULLY hooked up and ready for towing, you can keep your car WITHOUT paying a CHARGEYou do not need to prove ownership of the car in this instance."

[redacted] Good afternoon,0n 5/30/Colorado Roadside Posse had the white [redacted] ***blocked in to tow, we had two drivers on site to tow this vehicle,their trucks were in the process of getting ready to hook when thegentleman arrived Our drop fee has always been to unhook wewere very cooperative and worked with this gentleman to reduce the feeto

For complaint (ID ***)I would like to continue with the complaint. Though if it were at all possible I'd love to add a reference to Colorado Code of Regulations regarding towing(b) states that "Charge if retrieved before removal (commonly known as "drop charge")(I) If the owner, authorized operator, or authorized agent of the owner of a motor vehicle with a GVWR of less than 10,pounds that is parked without the authorization of the property owner appears in person to retrieve the motor vehicle after a tow truck is present and either backed up in align with such motor vehicle or tow equipment has come into contact with such motor vehicle, but before its removal from the property, the maximum drop charge (whether motor vehicle is hooked up or not) is $and the minimum drop charge is $and may be less per municipality ordinances."To me since the tow truck was NOT "backed up in align" and no "tow equipment had come into contact" with my carI shouldn't have to pay a drop chargeI was in my car before the tow truck had even parked. I didn't get the name of the police officer, but there was a police officer that can verify that the tow truck wasn't in position to tow my car

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Their statement is simply not true at allI was running to my car when the first tow truck pulled onto the lotWhen I called after talking to the driver I was then blocked in by one of their carsThen sometime after two cop cars were on the lot the second tow truck pulled onto the lot. They were in the process of getting ready to tow? This is absurdI was in my vehicle before he had even stepped out of hisFurthermore, only one truck was even on the lot at this timeHe was in NO position to hook up my carHe was in front of my carHe wasn't blocking me in any meansI refuse to accept their statement in any way.
Regards,

I recently complained about the Colorado Roadside Posse in Denver Colorado for what I thought was an unfair charge. I was blocked in and forced to pay a charge. I wasn't hooked up yet and wanted to leave. Later I found out the towing laws I was looking at didn't exactly pertain to Colorado. **Though in some places the vehicle is required to be hooked for a drop fee to be implemented, this is not the case in Colorado. I was mistaken. I'm attempting to remove this complaint. I was under the impression that other requirements were under effect in Colorado. (Though I realize now that it doesn't pertain to Colorado.) "Clearly Posted Warning A tower must have written consent from the property owner or his agent, who must have waited one hour before calling for the tow. Also, a sign not less than 17 inches by 22 inches in size should be displayed in plain view at all entrances to the property." I was there for less than 10 minutes before trying to leave. The other statement I believed to be law was that "If you return to your car and it is being hooked-up to a tow truck but IT IS NOT FULLY hooked up and ready for towing, you can keep your car WITHOUT paying a CHARGE. You do not need to prove ownership of the car in this instance."
