  Paladin Impound & Recovery LLC does towing service for our HOA. Our vehicle was parked in a visitor spot with visitor tag on the rear view mirror. Out vehicle was towed. Paladin towing has a second location: ******************************************. Our vehicle was inside a gated impound surrounded by cars. The office was in a small run down home and the worker made transactions from a window inside the house. Customers were outside the house talking into screened window. Three outer customers were waiting for the vehicles because the tow driver had not returned to move vehicles so customers waited for over three hours after paying their reovery fee. The worker did not why my car was told. I explained that my resident tag was in my car so it shouldnt have been towed. The worker did the leave the home which smellled like marijuana and dog urine. The house was surrounded by all types of cars both working and broken down. Dog f**** were seen in a corner of the lot and hornet nests on trailers. We saw ******** posts that many customers have complained about bad service,over priced fees, and some say they had their bank accounts been targeted after the transactions were made from the business. This business and location needs to investigate for bad business practices and ****** locations for customers and vehicles. This location was disgusting and service was not good. Pictures can be provided. It may be corrupted.

  Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  It is unfortunate that you were impounded.  Without the specifics of your vehicle, I cannot comment further on the tow itself.  I'm sorry you had an unpleasant experience at our tow yard when retrieving your vehicle. I have read your comments and will take them under advisement.  I will strive to make sure that these issues are addressed.  Again, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

  On June 10, 2025, at about 9:26 AM, my 2019 ****** Altima (license plate ******** was towed by ******************** LLC from the *************************************************************************************, to their facility at *****************************************. That same day at 7:51 PM, I retrieved my vehicle and paid Paladin $330 to release it.When I inspected my vehicle right outside the impound lot, I discovered a punctured hole in the rear bumper that was not there before the tow. I immediately reported this damage to Paladins employee, *****, who confirmed the driver did not take photos of the vehicles condition prior to towing. ***** advised me to contact management about the damage and next steps.I promptly contacted Paladins management and was verbally told my claim was denied because the vehicle was backed in and towed from the tires, which they claim made it impossible to damage the bumper. However, Paladin refused to provide a written denial even after my formal email on June 11, 2025, in which I described the incident and attached photos of the damage.There was no puncture or hole before the tow, and the damage was discovered immediately upon pickup, showing it occurred while the vehicle was in Paladins possession. Cecils statement that no pre-tow photos were taken weakens Paladins claim that the damage was pre-existing.On June 25, 2025, I obtained a professional estimate from *******************, ***************************************************************************, which totals $1,112.91 to repair the bumper damage caused during the tow.I am seeking reimbursement of the $1,112.91 repair cost, a refund of the $330 towing fee I paid to Paladin, and coverage of any filing fees needed to pursue this *********** amount sought: $1,442.91 plus any court costs if required. I have made every effort to resolve this directly with Paladin by immediately reporting the damage, providing photo evidence, and formally requesting a fair resolution, but they have failed to accept responsibility.

  It's unfortunate that your vehicle was impounded.  Paladin impounded your black 2019 ****** Altima on June 10, 2015.  The vehicle was called in by management to be removed.  Therefore, a refund of the impound fee is not warranted.  As far as the damage to your vehicle, Paladin Impound does not take any responsibility for any damage to your bumper.  My reasons are as follows: we impounded your ****** using a wheel-lift tow truck.  Our tow truck only makes contact with the tires of the car.  Our trucks do no hook up or touch your bumper or any other part of your car.  Per AAA guidelines, a 2019 ****** Altima should be towed from the front (which it was).  Our truck never touched any part of the rear of your vehicle.  Our truck attached to the front tires of the ******.  As you can see from the pictures, the ****** was backed in.  We did not have access to the rear of the vehicle.  Therefore, Paladin Impound denied your claim of damage.  You provided no evidence showing that Paladin did any damage to the vehicle.  I have no idea how long your vehicle was in the garage but the amount of dust on the car would suggest months.

  Good morning **** ****,

  
  Thank you for forwarding Paladin Impounds response.

  
  I do not find the businesss response satisfactory and wish to continue with my complaint.
  My vehicle, a 2019 ****** Altima, was towed by Paladin Impound on June 10, 2025, and I paid $330 for its release that same day. Upon immediate inspection, I discovered a punctured hole in the rear bumper that was not present prior to the tow. I reported this to Paladins employee *****, who confirmed that their driver did not take pre-tow photos, removing the ability to establish the vehicles prior condition.
  While Paladin states that their equipment should not contact the bumper, the lack of pre-tow documentation and immediate discovery of damage after release strongly support that the damage occurred during the towing process. Dust on the vehicle is irrelevant to the specific damage and the clear temporal connection.
  I have provided photo evidence of the damage and a repair estimate for $1,112.91. I am requesting:
  Reimbursement for the bumper repair cost of $1,112.91.
  Refund of the $330 towing fee, as damage occurred while the vehicle was in their care.
  Total amount sought: $1,442.91.
  I am seeking a fair resolution before considering further actions through small claims court if necessary.
  Thank you for your assistance.

  
  Best regards,

  THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY CONCRETE PROOF THAT THE *********** WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE.  THE OWNER STATING THAT IT WASN'T THERE BEFORE IS NOT PROOF.  THERE WAS NO WAY FOR THE *********** TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE REAR BUMPER PRIOR TO ***ING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS BACKED IN AGAINST THE **** IN THE GARAGE.  AGAIN, THE *** TRUCK HAD NO CONTACT WITH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.  WE ***ED THE VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT.  PALADIN IMPOUND IS DENYING THE CLAIM OF DAMAGE FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE.

  I am a resident of 2 years at an apartment complex in ******** and my vehicle was towed by Paladin Impound & Recovery on March 28, 2025, at 3 AM. My vehicle was properly registered, authorized, and parked in a resident-only garage with a valid permit issued by the property. I pay for monthly parking and possess a parking permit. The permit had inadvertently fallen onto the dashboard overnight for one night but remained inside the vehicle. While not affixed to the windshield, the lease agreement does not define this condition as grounds for towing, nor does it classify a vehicle in this situation as unauthorized or in violation.I contacted the company via certified mail requesting a refund, clarification, and access to the photographic evidence they claimed supported the tow. They declined to provide the photos unless I visited their facility in person, and failed to cite any lease provision, parking addendum, or formal policy granting them authority to tow a vehicle solely based on an un-affixed, yet valid, permit assigned to an authorized vehicle.I further inquired whether Paladin exercised any due diligence to verify the vehicle's authorized status through the management system, as they should be aware of what vehicles are and aren't authorized outside of just a window sticker. They failed to respond to this question. A failure to take reasonable steps to confirm authorization status prior to towing may constitute negligence or overreach under consumer protection ************ vehicles body work was also damaged during the towing process, which they also failed to address. I am also concerned about damage to my vehicle's all-wheel-drive system due to improper towing.Their listed address was not recognized by **** during my certified mailing attempt, and the physical tow yard does not appear to be a professional business. The company does not have a website, email publicly listed email address, nor formal dispute process, raising legitimacy concerns.

  Paladin and Mr. ****** have exchanged many emails and all of his concerns as it relates to the service Paladin provides were addressed.

  At no time did Mr. ****** state/document in email that there was damage to the vehicle, until this complaint a month after the vehicle was towed/impounded.

  Mr. ****** readily admits he did not have a permit visibly displayed in his vehicle to park on the property and is required by the property to have and his vehicle was towed/impounded.

  In addition the pictures taken show that the permit did not fall in the windshield/dash.

  First, Paladin failed to address all of my concerns in any form of correspondence. They have selectively responded only to points they chose to acknowledge, while repeatedly sidestepping and avoiding the core legal and contractual issues raised.

  Second, Paladins claim that I did not report vehicle damage until this BBB complaint is demonstrably false. I informed them of the damage via certified letter (and uploaded to this complaint) on April 9, well before filing this complaint. That letter included not only a description of the damage, but also copies of my lease parking policy, parking addendum, and my valid parking permit, which has been in use for two years. Furthermore, Paladin does not provide any public-facing email or online communication method, which limited my ability to contact them earlier than I did. Paladin did not respond to that letter until April 30, when they contacted me by email, and I reiterated my concerns.

  Third, while Paladin is quick to cite my acknowledgment that the lease requires a permit to be displayed, they continue to avoid addressing the actual issue: nowhere in the lease, parking addendum, or posted signage or law does it state that failure to display a valid permit is a towable offense. I sent them copies of my lease parking policy and parking addendum in my certified letter as well as a copy of my valid permit. Moreover, their signage (signage.jpeg) posted at my apartment garage does not explicitly authorize towing for non-displayed permits. The only mention of a valid permit displayed refers specifically to handicapped spaces, not general residential parking.

  Additionally, Paladin was required under Maryland Transportation Code to notify me by certified mail within seven days of the tow. They failed to do so, violating Marylands towing laws.

  In total, Paladin has failed to address the central concern: there is no lease, policy, or legal document that authorizes the towing of a permitted residents vehicle solely due to a temporarily un-displayed yet valid permit. Rather than providing justification, they continue to repeat that the permit was not visible a point I never denied, but a point they cannot justify. What they have not done is explain how this absence meets the lease-defined criteria for an unauthorized or towable vehicle.

  Therefore, I assert that the towing service was not authorized, not warranted, nor legal under any valid policy, and I maintain my stance in respectfully requesting a full refund and potentially a review of Paladins towing practices for compliance with Maryland law and consumer protection standards.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Second, Mr. ******** claim that I did not report vehicle damage until this BBB complaint is demonstrably false and slanderous. I informed them of the damage via certified letter on April 9, well before filing this complaint. That letter included not only a description of the damage, but also copies of my lease parking policy, parking addendum, and my valid parking permit, which has been in use for two years, so they should also have my vehicle on file, noting that I pay a monthly fee for parking. Furthermore, Paladin does not provide any public-facing email or online communication method, which limited my ability to contact them earlier than I did. Paladin did not respond to that letter until April 30, when they contacted me by email, and I reiterated my concerns.
  

  Third, while Mr. ****** and the Paladin employee I had email communications with are quick to cite my acknowledgment that the lease simply states that a permit is required to be displayed, they continue to avoid addressing the actual issue: nowhere in the lease, parking addendum, or posted signage does it state that failure to display a valid permit renders a vehicle unauthorized and does not justify towing. The documents clearly outline what makes a vehicle unauthorized and what is a towable offense. I sent Paladin these documents with my certified letter. On top of that, the signage posted at my apartment garage does not explicitly authorize towing for non-displayed permits. The only mention of a valid permit displayed refers specifically to handicapped spaces, not general residential parking.
  

  Additionally, Paladin is required under Maryland Transportation Code to notify me by certified mail within seven days of the tow. They failed to do so, violating Marylands towing laws. I also have doubts about the authorization of the tow given it occurred at 3 am.
  

  In total, Paladin has still failed to address the central concern: there is no lease, policy, or legal document that authorizes the towing of a permitted residents authorized registered vehicle solely due to a temporarily mis-displayed permit. Rather than providing justification, they continue to repeat that the permit was not visible on the windshield a point that I myself informed them of and never denied. But what they have not done is explain how this absence meets any policy or lease-defined criteria for an unauthorized towable vehicle.
  

  Therefore, I maintain that the towing service was not authorized, warranted, nor legal under any valid policy, and I respectfully request a full refund and a review of Paladins towing practices for compliance with Maryland law and consumer protection standards.

  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ******

  My car was towed by this company on 12/19/24. I purchased parking through a venue for a concert but they did not ask my car info or provide me with anything to place in my window. My car was towed and I was charged $330 for the tow, and I had to pay for an **** to get to the lot. I showed the guy who towed my car that I had valid parking, and he said the ticket provider should reimburse me. He confirmed it was valid parking. Since he confirmed it was valid, I feel they should've reimburse me.

  My car was towed from the property at ************************* on Sunday, November 17th . After arriving at the Paladin Impound & Recovery, LLC tow station we found that the vehicle had been severely damaged. We obtained Paladin Impound & Recovery employees acknowledgement of the cars damage along with their signature on the receipt. Paladin Impound & Recovery has refused to provide their insurance details. As a result, I had to go through her insurance company and have them communicate with Paladin Impound & Recovery. On Monday, November 18th it was determined, through an appraiser, that her ***** 2022 had an exploded rear deferential case caused by improper towing. The vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive, specifically for the safety of my girlfriend and her children. To this date Paladin Impound & Recovery has refused to provide their insurance information to her and her insurer. Im requesting the insurance information or atleast to have the company pay the $500 deductible.

  Regarding the towing and impounding of the vehicle in question. The
  vehicle was towed/impounded in accordance with the guidelines provided
  by Towspec and AAA. Specifically, a Wheel-lift
  and dollies method was utilized, which ensures that all four wheels of
  the vehicle are lifted and cradled off the ground during transport.
  
  Photographic evidence has already been provided, clearly demonstrating that this
  approved method was used. We adhere to industry standards and take care
  to follow all proper procedures to ensure the safety and integrity of
  the vehicles we handle.

  My car was wrongfully towed when I had my parking permit on my dashboard and now the towing company wants to illegally extort money from me. The towing company took pictures of my war at certain angles in which my permit would not be visibly seen in order to justify extorting money from me. The towing company has both of my parking permits too. This company should be held liable of their illegal operations.

  On May 26, 2024 my car was stolen from my residence. It was towed without my permission. I was parked with a parking permit. I called the police to report my car stolen, called all credit cards to inform, reported to my insurance about stolen car. Police officer said "you will probably never see your car again. It is probably in pieces by now." There were 2 other cars towed same time. Neighbor saw the tow truck taking my car during the night. I received a called from the police officer that my car was at Paladin Towing. I could go and pick it up. I notified my sister of my stolen car and she came down to calm me down, Then we found out it had been towed. I reported it stolen at 9 am and finally drove away from the impound lot at 2 pm/ I lost a whole day, and was very upset. I asked the man at the window why my car was stolen and he replied "I" dont know mam, I just work here." He also told me our contract with our property had expired. i wanted to talk with the owner, but was told they were not available. I asked about some compensation for all my stress and the agrivation of this ordeal. I was told they could not give my anything. This was the Friday before Memorial day and the resident manager was on vacation. She told the maintenance person we had no contract with the towing company and would help me when she returned on Tuesday. The manager set up an appointment with the manager of the towing company. I was waiting to talk with him myself. When he came in the door I said "Hello *****." He said "wow you have a good memory" to which I said "I will NEVER forget that day!" I explained my frustration about my car being stolen and I thought I should be compensated for my agrivation and stress. He apologized and said the business had just been acquired & decided to check out the property, with tow trucks He asked how much and I said $1,000. I did not have to pay anything but I decided on the amount of $250. He agreed but I would have to sign a ***.

  My vehicle was towed on 6/8/24 at 1:35 pm est. I was informed that the fee for the tow was for 14 hours. Per review of the invoice and the time I picked my vehicle up it was 5 hours at $25.00 per the attendant at Paladin. There is egregious abuse in the amount I was charged and a conflict with the hour stated on the invoice. I was verbally told I was charged for 14 hours when in fact it was 6 hours and I am do a refund. I have evidence that will verify the time my vehicle was towed.
  
  If this is not resolved within a reasonable amount of time I am filing a complaint with the Consumer Protection office in my county. I will be notifying the corporate office for my TGM.
