Public Notice Issued for Unclaimed Vehicles Scheduled for Auction in Columbia, SC
Columbia, South Carolina, is abuzz with news for anyone who might have parked their vehicle and forgotten about it. A public notice has come out regarding a list of unclaimed vehicles, many of which are scheduled for auction soon. If you’ve lost track of your car or know someone who has, this article might just be the lifeline you need!
What’s Going On?
According to the recent announcement, these unclaimed vehicles are currently in the custody of various towing and recovery companies. They have been deemed abandoned under South Carolina Law and may have accrued towing, repair, or storage fees during their time away from their owners. It’s crucial for vehicle owners or lienholders to take action as they have a limited window to claim their vehicles.
For those looking to reclaim their wheels, they have a strict timeline of 15 days from the notice date to gather the necessary funds to pay all lawful charges. If that doesn’t happen, the unfortunate reality is that owners and lienholders might just waive all rights and consent to a public auction sale.
Mark Your Calendars
So, when will these vehicles be sold? Mark your calendars for the first Monday of the month, one month after the notice was issued. The auction will kick off at 10 a.m.. This means it’s not just about losing your vehicle; it’s time to be proactive if you want to reclaim it before it heads to the auction block!
