Why would you allow them to do a voluntary repo when you knew you were going to pay(the paid off truck?) in the next couple of days? "...M husband and I chartered the first bus out of NYC to get to Waverly, NY where the truck is being held on Jan. 31" - You supposedly paid for the car on 12/26 only to find out they already towed it to an auction yard 5 hours away, because that was the final day you had to pay. Yet it took you over 1 month to get the "first" bus out of NYC? "...The letter doesn't state their hours, and neither does anyone on the phone when we inquiry about coming to get our truck..." - Did you think.."Hey we are taking a 5 hour bus ride, perhaps I should actually ask what their hours are to be sure they are open?" "...This is fraudulent practice and thievery and I want my truck and I'm going to take the necessary steps to get my truck back.." - Ummm..YOU told them to come and get the truck. So of course they are going to charge you towing and storage fees. Based on your report it does not sound like you were that anxious to get the truck back. On 12/11 you stated you were going to pay the truck in the next couple of days, yet since Wachovia gave you 15 days you took FULL advantage of that and didn't pay until the 15th day. Then you were given until 1/31(over a month) to go pick up the truck, yet you waited until the last day again...
