Justice Served: Colorado Towing Firm Must Pay $1 Million for Unauthorized Tows

Wyatt’s Towing North, a former Colorado towing company, faces a $1 million judgment after years of illegally towing vehicles and employing deceptive practices. The Colorado Attorney General’s office, led by Phil Weiser, launched an investigation that uncovered widespread misconduct by the company, which operated without proper licensing, collected unauthorized fees, and even sold some towed vehicles without giving owners a chance to retrieve them.

The investigation found that from 2020 to 2023, Wyatt’s Towing North repeatedly violated legal standards that govern towing practices. While towing is essential for maintaining order in parking areas, this case revealed significant abuses of authority. Vehicles were towed without valid grounds, and fees were imposed without proper cause, leaving many owners stranded without their vehicles and forced to pay excessive fees to get them back. In more severe cases, the company sold vehicles without notifying owners or offering them the opportunity to reclaim their property by settling outstanding charges.

As part of the settlement, Wyatt’s Towing North is now required to pay $1 million in restitution, with a portion allocated to over 5,000 vehicle owners affected by the company’s practices. Restitution checks will soon be issued to these individuals, offering some relief for the financial and emotional impact caused by the company’s actions.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ethical standards in the towing industry. While towing companies play a key role in enforcing parking laws, they must operate within the law to protect the rights of vehicle owners. The judgment against Wyatt’s Towing North underscores the serious legal and financial consequences for companies that prioritize profit over fair practices and consumer rights.
