Yes, to everyone else! This is a dirty shady business, that seems to fit right in with the area! They definitely have people spying and towing your car even WITH a sticker. Once they have it, all of it is up to them, since there truly is no other choice but to figure out some way to pay. No matter what! The really bad thing is that no one has stood up to these shady practices. They are obviously in kahoots with the apartment complexes, hotels, etc. in the area. Don't ever visit anyone in their area because there will be a way to get your car unless you are in a garage, and even then I'm not sure if you're safe. I am filing a complaint with the local Chambers, the US Chamber and whomever else I can find. I believe that the owners are also owners of the hotels/apartment complexes and as soon as I search and discover all of this....I will follow up with a conflict of interest law suit. Don't worry Kharma works all on its own with people who treat others (unneccessarily) the way they do. They could just as well operate their business by being kind and compassionate but it's their choice to be the way they are. They get their kicks from it. Well, not forever, I've lived long enough to know that things come around!! Love all you fellow towee's from the lovely Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, etc. area, ick!! Nasty place! (not even one star, but they make you put one) Oh, and the defensive writer, who obviously works there or owns the place may need to understand a bit about statistics. The reason not many complaints have been registered is partly due to the psychological fact that it isn't worth most peoples time. It's just easier to walk away and never come into your towns again. And believe me this is easy. I would pay for parking in the city and take a train in to visit relatives, rather than park or shop in this area again! Lucky for me, I'm retired and have all the time in the world. I will use some of it to file formal complaints, come and speak at Chamber events (yes I have great credentials and am a desired speaker) and have a better look into your practices! Maybe you've finally messed with some of the wrong people!!
