I had my car towed and I only have liability so my isurance won't do anything and can't get involved, only reimburse the towing fee. The car is brand new, and when we went to get it, it has two big notches missing from where he picked it up at and the bumper is hanging down about 4 inches on 1 side. And they hit something with the back end because the black paint is gone and its got yellow going all down it and won't come off. The people who own it won't even talk to us about it. They are really scummy, and shady. They won't do anything. Can the BBB do something, or reimburse me? I have pictures, and all my reciepts, and people who inspeceted the car before this happened.

Sounds like you definitely have a case. I would call them and threaten to sue, but don't be rude about it. Tell them you have proof the car wasn't like that before it was in their possession. Most of the time that will get them to cooperate. If they don't, then I would sue, but if you threaten first it probably won't even come to that.

To begin with, with a new car you should have had comprehensive insurance also. But, I'm sure you realize that now.
Filing a complaint with the BBB is a good start. All that will do is stop other people from getting ripped off.
Go down to the court house and file a complaint in small claims court. Better than that, get a lawyer to file the complaint. Anymore, when you go to small claims court, almost everybody has a lawyer. That wasn't the purpose of small claims, you were supposed to be able to go without a lawyer but, times have changed and now the lawyers rule.
get reimbursed for all your damages and filing fees. I do believe you will have to eat the lawyer fees because the judge won't award you his fees. Good luck

Yea for sure get in touch with the BBB, they could contact you and maybe help you out with some reimbursement for the damages too, not caused by the accident. could you send me some pictures, I might be able to help you out. this kind of stuff really sucks, I know how you feel too. send me an email Lowrit00@yahoo.com,

You might call the BBB, but also call a lawyer, and ask them what you can do to sue them for damages on towing your vehicle, and damaging it, especially since you have proof they damaged it, or that it got damaged in their yard.
Good luck to you.

As long as you have proof it wasn't like that before it was towed you should have a case.
