Everett, WA asked in Personal Injury for Washington

Q: Can I stop my car from going to auction at the last minute?

My ex landlord’s sister had my car towed with no notice , no attempts to reach us and give us a deadline after we had an agreement. Then he wouldn’t tell me where my car was for over a week at. D nd earlier alluded to them holding it hostage for some alleged debt to his father. My the time he told me where to find my car it was $2700. To get out out and we are dealing with some hardships right now which was why we had to leave the car in the first place. I went to retrieve my car two days after he towed it and could have much better handled the fees at two-three days fees and I reiterated this to him several times. Do I have any legal recourse. This car is very valuable to us and also has an .ignition interlock installed that I’m responsible for.
