I have tried for over a week to speak with the owner of this company. This same company towed my car last year, daughter. was in process of moving to Maryland. After I contacted someone with the Department of Revenue--the owner called me back, apologized for behavior of his men. I still had to pay $200 to get my car back to my daughter.

My daughter just recently had a child. The car (same car from last year'07)was towed on January 5, 2009. According to the towing company they were called by the homeowners association to pick up the car with expired tags/ they saw the tags were expired. (There is another car on the same lot tags expired for 5 months--they stated they didn't see that one.) The homeowner's association, who contracts the towing company, is concerned that they continue to get complaints from residents that this towing company is just driving thru towing cars at will--using the association as their cover/authorization for towing.

The owner-Mr. Duff of Duff's Towing 5502 Dower House Road
Upper Marlboro Maryland 20772, 301-599-0200. Just called me today January 14th, stated that to get my car I had to pay whatever they charged. I was told, by Mr. "B" who works there that it would be $500 to get my car tomorrow, and $50 each day would be added until I picked it up or admitted that it could be sold.

I need help---I am willing to see this thru to the end. My daughter and her fiance watched as a neighbor who had a guest visiting at his apartment for just over an hour-Duff's tow truck came and started to tow his car, the driver refused to let the car down and the neighbor and his friend had to follow the tow truck to to garage and pay towing charges to get it back.

This company NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. PLEASE HELP!!! I am not going to give $500
