Answer
I need more information to properly answer and understand your question. In most cases you should have done your information search and sent out certified notices to all parties within 3-14 days after the tow (depends on state). If you didn't do this there is usually a set max. of storage and towing you can charge. You can't penalize the lienholder for you not notifying them within the proper amount of time as required by law.  If you did notify everyone by certified mail within the required amount of time and they did not claim the vehicle within the specific time allowed by law then you can charge from the beginning of tow. Since you didn't say in which state you live, information check or when letters where sent I recommend you that you check your state law statues.
