After my wife was in a not-at-fault wreck our vehicle had to be towedWe didn't know what towing company to ask for so the police resorted to their call list and Henson's was the towing companyTwo days later I went to retrieve my vehicle and was handed a $billThe vehicle was towed miles from the accident scene and kept for two nights in their lotThe owner of the towing company said there was a wreck scene charge of $I felt it was extremely high since it was only a mini van and it was drive-able from the scene (I won't go into details about WHY it was towed other than the fact that my wife was taken to the hospital.) I called my insurance agent, and the police department, and they also agreed about the charges seeming excessiveAfter speaking with my agent and the police department, I spoke with the man who said he was the towing business ownerI told him I disagreed with the charges and felt it was too highHe told me he could charge whatever he wanted to and then went on to tell me about the elderly gentleman's insurance cost and how it had doubled from last year to this, of which I was able to understand but only to his dismay
At this point I have spoken with others who have had similar storiesThese are all facts, but I feel I've been taken advantage of by my misfortune, and not to mention that now it appears the at fault party was driving without insuranceI was advised by a reliable source to write the city counsel requesting that Henson's be removed from the police department call list
