Business ProfileforBandit Towing, LLC

This company does not even deserve one star. The aggressive rogue tactics they use to extort money out of college kids is criminal. My daughter, who lives out of state, was visiting a friend in Oxford MS and parked at the apartment complex. The desk manager had left for the evening and was not there to provide a parking pass. There were many, many empty spaces in the lot. There were no towing signs or warning about restricted parking in the lot. At 3AM in the morning, Bandit showed up and took her car. No warning. No ticket from a police officer. No call from the property manager. My daughter found out early in the morning and the apartment manager told her the car was towed. My daughter got a ride out to the middle of nowhere and the Bandit people were rude and aggressive. They demanded $400 cash to get her vehicle back. She had to get other friends to help get cash together for her as she was limited to what she could get from an ATM machine. She said she needed to call her parents so they could pay with a credit card, and they said that the fine would increase if she didn't pay it NOW and in CASH. They yelled at her and had her in tears. She said she was going to call Oxford PD and they warned her it would become much worse, and she would face additional fines if the police were called. We have tried calling Bandit and they do not answer the phone. We live more than a thousand miles away so it's not like me and my husband could go in and talk with them face to face. I called the Oxford PD and they have no control over the situation because of the current laws about towing off private property. The property managers at apartment complexes are just as apathetic and don't seem to care about the unethical practices of the towing companies. Lastly, they damaged my daughter's car and there was nothing we could do about it. Bandit Towing lives up to their name. A bunch of slimy bandit crooks that pray on and take advantage of college kids.
