Complaint Review: United Tows L.L.C.

 At approximately 7:30 PM on Sat. May 27 we parked our car @ 701 Commerce across from Dealy Plaza. We talked between our selves about paying for parking but there were no signs saying anything about having to pay. There were other cars parked here so we thought it was a benefit for people wanting to visit the memorial. We were from out of town and wanted to visit the memorial. After walking thru and seeing we started walking back to our car. At this time my wife said "Look someone is stealing our car". My son and I went to running to stop whoever was towing our car. After getting the tow truck stopped, I asked what was happening? The driver told me that I hadn't paid for parking so he was carrying my car to an impound lot. I tried to explain that there were no signs saying that I needed to pay for parking. He told me that there should have been signs. I asked him where should I have paid and he said there was a small parking meter over against the south wall. We could not see it because a car was parked in front of it. The driver told me there were only two choices. The first was to let him go ahead and carry the car to the impound lot or I could pay him $100.00 cash and he would drop my car. Since I was from out of town and didn't have any idea where the impound lot was located I paid him the money in cash. I feel like this was a scam by this tow company picking on out of town people after hours and on a weekend when no one would know.
