· I am filing a lawsuit against Parrish Trucks andEquipment, because of blatant wrongdoing and excessive overcharging for theirservices.
· When my truck was damaged in an accident, ParrishTrucking was called by the local Police to tow my truck.
· I received their estimate for $10,091.19 on.
· Before approval was ever received from my insurancecompany, they began to work on my truck!
· My insurance approved them to perform thenecessary repairs and agreed to pay them over $10,000. They then issued apayment based on the PDA estimate on.
· After payment for their services was issued toParrish Trucking and Equipment, I thought that the matter was taken care of.
· However, then I received yet anotherinvoice from Parrish Towing for the amount of $15,996, which included StorageFees for the days which the truck was on their property and the dayswhich it was inside their shop being worked on! My Insurance Agent informed methat it is customary for the company doing the repairs to not chargestorage when the equipment is being repaired at the time.
· When I contacted them concerning this obviousovercharge, Parrish Towing refused to waive their storage fee of $50/daystorage for truck and $50/day for trailer [industry standard ranges from$25-$40/day].
· I then requested the towing fees be removed fromthe invoice since he did (partial) repairs to the rig, which did not includefixing the body damage.
· I will still have to pay another shop at least$10,000 to do the body work!
· In retaliation to my request, Parrish called andinformed me that he was filing a lien on the equipment.
· As a responsible businessman, I am well awarethat filing a lien to retrieve Storage Payments is against State Law.
· My attorney informed Parrish of this violationof State Law, but he continues to hold our equipment hostage.
Therefore, because of this intolerablesituation, I will be filing a lawsuit against Parrish Trucks and Equipment.
I know that I am not the only one who hasbeen dealt with in this manner by this company.
If you wish to report any instances ofwrongdoing or overcharging which you have experienced in your dealings withthem, or you are interested in joining me in this lawsuit, please e-mail me at ???????
