More than 5,000 eligible consumers have been identified based on Wyatts Towing records, the AG’s office said in a news release Thursday.
No action needs to be taken by the individuals to receive their checks.
A yearlong investigation by the attorney general, announced in December 2023, found Wyatts Towing hauled away thousands of vehicles without proper authorization, illegally kept consumer funds and engaged in “deceptive and unfair business practices” to discourage drivers from exercising their rights. Wyatts, as part of the settlement, denied any wrongdoing. The company attributed the attorney general’s findings to “administrative errors and issues that had already been addressed by the company’s regulators at the PUC.”
“Thanks to the settlement we reached with Wyatts Towing, consumers who were harmed by the company’s illegal towing practices will soon get some money back in their pockets,” Weiser said. “If you are an eligible consumer and receive a check, my message to you is that it is genuine, and you should cash it as soon as possible.
