Direct Dispute with the Lienholder: Even though the lienholder has refused to remove the repossession, consider sending them a formal dispute letter. In the letter, outline the timeline of events, provide evidence of the insurance payout, and explain why the repossession should not be considered a default on your part.

Argue next that you were only parked for a brief time. Challenge any inappropriate fees that the company may have charged you.
File a complaint. And if that isn't enough, you can turn to small claims court, armed with the state statutes in-hand. The state statutes even allow victims of wrongful towing to collect damages and attorney's fees if victorious in court.
