<prompt> Human: My car got stolen back in the middle of May. I chalked it up as a loss, bought a new one, and didnt think about it. A week ago I got a letter from a tow company, saying my stolen car had been towed from an apartment complex in June. Storage fees are over 1,700, payable in cash.I cant pay that right now, and the total keeps climbing. My question: they say they will send it to collections if I dont pay. Will this affect my credit? Thats the most important thing to me...dont want to mess that up.The towing company is in North Las Vegas, with Nevada laws. What are my options?Editing to answer some questions below: I just had liability on the car was worth probably 4,000 before being stolen, not sure the condition its in right now though. Filed a police report, they called after it was recovered and left a message to call the towing company. I was out of the country, however, and didnt get the message until after I got back. Thats why the fee is so high.  <response>: Haha, this is crazy - did you file a police report?
