    My car was impounded in Washington state. I offered to give the towing company my title for the car, they said that I still have to pay for it staying in the garage even though they had they title. Before they said this they sent me a letter saying they were going to sell it. How can the charge me for something that they own? After the lady told me this I never followed up on it and left it alone now they have sold the car and sent me a bill for the storage of the car and towing. What do I do?

    Hello, don't need your title to sell the car, so offering them the title only saves them a small cost, They basically don't have to accept it,

    Once a car is impounded, you will owe them the storage fee and the towing and impound fee. Most storage is added every day until it is sold or until you pick it up. Selling them the car is only a valid plan if the car is worth more than is owed.

    So yes they will sell it and you will owe the differnece, it all has to do with the impound laws. They never owned it, you may have given them the title, but since they did not agree on the transfer to them, they did not buy it
