A forced and FALSE statement that must be signed to get your car back from towing company, otherwise, without the signature they

Car was re-possessed and towed to the towing company yard, and damaged in the process, plus personal items ,were removed, and missing.

We paid ALL arrears plus towing cost, however, the towing company will NOT release the car, unless I sign a note that there are NO damages, and that I will NOT held them responsible for any personal items in the car, and that I agree to hold them harmless of any liability, and that the car was returned to me in its original condition, otherwise, if I do not sign this statement, they will NOT release my car back.

I now have only two choices, either sign this FALSE statement, or refuse to sign, and the care would be just left there (with the towing company's refusal to release my car), thus accumulating the daily fee storage, and potential for more damages.

Sincerely;
Ervin
