I parked my 04 Dodge Durango which is insuranced & tagged in the state of Tennessee, in the parking lot of the dollar general store, I went in bought some stuff & when I started to leave my Durango had broken down, I asked the store manager Miss Sheaffer if I could leave it until the next afternoon or maybe day after, miss Sheaffer said yes but only a few days, next morning her boyfriend said that it had been towed, a employee of her's had it towed & she tried to stop the tow truck driver from taking it but he said it was to late, I've called the owner of the towing company Nick Wall minor's towing and recovery LLC Lexington TN told him TCA 55.16.112 & 55.16.103 says that it wasn't legal for him to tow, Nick Wall say's it doesn't matter to him a employee gave him permission, how do I get back my Durango I don't have $1200
A: You might file an Action To Recover Personal Property in General Sessions. Defendant may sue and/or defend on their fees. But at least you will get it going, but you may have to tow it away again if not fixed. Sessions has some equity jurisdiction, so a lawyer would be helpful.
