Consumers may be able to receive a refund from a towing class action lawsuit settlement if their vehicle was subject to booting at a New York City Home Depot.
According to the class action lawsuit, B&M Towing and other towing companies violated New York City law by overcharging to remove boots from towed cars. Although booting fees are legal under New York City law, companies are not allowed to charge more than $25 to remove boots.
B&M Towing is a New York-based towing company. The company’s Better Business Bureau profile shows numerous complaints regarding B&M’s vehicle towing and booting policies.
The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) is administering a settlement to resolve the towing and booting allegations.
