Who is responsible for the storage fees the loan company or me?
Asked on Nov 05th, 2014 on Bankruptcy - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I had a vehicle reposed voluntarily due to a blown motor and I was unable to repair it. The loan company examined the vehicle and stated it was more cost effective to not repo it and it is now sitting at a mechanics garage. He now wants storage fees.
When the car was put there were you given any written notification that you would be charged? If not, you have to weigh the cost of paying an attorney to have the car released without paying storage fees versus the cost of the storage fees. An attorney may charge $500 for this. I would try to negotiate the guy down with a cash offer. If he is ridiculous, hire an attorney.
