Arizona towing company sued for fraudulent business practices

Businesses that hope to remain in good standing and grow their influence should provide the promised products or services and not deceive their customers. Otherwise, conflicts often ensue. In Arizona, at times, lawsuits in Phoenix law offices revolve around fraudulent services or claims.

For example, the Arizona attorney general is currently suing a towing company based in Phoenix for allegedly charging customers for services the business did not perform. Undercover police officers discovered that the Sun Valley Towing company did not take part in repairs that they had charged car owners for, according to Arizona Central.

The policemen attached hidden cameras to a car and disabled the automobile by shutting off the fuel via a switch. Next, the disabled car was brought in for repairs at the towing company. The camera recorded a worker flip the switch back on while the undercover agents received a $340 bill for replacing a fuel pump.

During the first week of May, the attorney general filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court against the towing company. However, the company denies any wrongdoing.

"Sun Valley denies all of the allegations made by the attorney general," Tim Kunselman, owner and manager of the company, read a statement on behalf of Sun Valley management. "At no time did we engage in any deceptive practices."

Nonetheless, according to various records, the Sun Valley Towing company has received numerous complaints from customers in the past. Attorney General Tom Horne explains that, with the use of undercover agents, his department will be pursuing any potential con artists that have a history of fraudulent activity.

In Phoenix, businesses looking to improve their customer record and resolve any disputes should speak to a small business attorney.
