I purchased a scooter/mo ped for my fiance and he was involved in an accident. The scooter had to be towed. The Tampa Police Dept. Called Stepps Towing Co. The scooter was towed to their garage on Friday. Saturday i went to pick it. I was informed i was unable to because the registration was not in my name. That was fine so i went and got the title from my dealer who sold the scooter to me.
On top of that they were now charging me for three days of service. All the way back to friday. My scooter was brought in on friday around 1 pm and on sunday about 10 am they were trying to charge me for three days of storage. Well twenty four hours make a day and technical my scooter had only been there for 45 hrs and they were charging me for 72 hours.
I presented the title with my name and they still would not accept that. Stating the title had been altered. So i asked to present a bill of sale. I complied and presented a bill of sale. Now because i presented it so easily Stepps requested i get the bill of sale notarized saying "anyone can type up a bill of sale" so now i had to wait until tuesday to receive a notarized bill of sale and by then stepps was racking up the storage fees. They now have received 100.00 more dollars then they would have had i been allowed to pick up my scooter the first time i went in.
