On October 30, 2021, my vehicle was towed for allegedly being in a No-Parking zone off of *************. I was able to pick up my vehicle from a nearby ***********************, where a parking citation (which is being disputed) was attached, but also there was a tent set up by people claiming to represent a tow company and demanded on the spot payment of $220. The receipt I from these personnel has the business name of Avenue-******** Towing, **** of **** ********************************* ********. Upon further research, this company appears to be a sole proprietorship by ************************* dba under names such as Avenue-******** Towing, Avenue Towing, or Avenue Towing II.I cannot find publicly available records of any currently valid and executed contracts between the City of ******** and *************************, or his associated businesses. I cannot find ************************* or his associated businesses in a ******************* business entity search, CA DMV tow truck license database, or in the membership of the ********** ********************** To me, this seems like a shakedown operation by somebody operating under the color of city authority executing parking enforcement. I want the business to forward any relevant contracts that are valid and executable, with the city of ********, that give them the authority to operate under the color of City of ******** Parking Enforcement.
