Normally, we impound the vehicles until payment is made. However, this time, the vehicle was running OK, and the driver of the recovered vehicle wanted to drive away. He gave us a PO from his established company. We trusted the large company.

Then, they refused to pay us the $300 for tow services unless we filled outa W-9.

Ask the taxgirl: Can I refuse to complete a form W-9?

For some strange reason, I hear a sales and marketing related phrase in her work, yet I’m quite sure she didn’t do it on purpose.

Quite, Dang. Sure.
