just wondering if someone who has contacts at post shop or whatever could look up all the info on my old vt250f rego 13thx as the guy i sold it to still hasn't changed the rego over, and i don't really want to pay that guys fines, fuck i hate ltnz this is such a stupid process, why can't i just give them the new owners details and that be it, it's not as if i'd want to give ownership of my bike away for free

You can go into an AA and get them to suspend the registration or summat like that. Don't think it costs but it sure does get things happening quick at the other end!

i think you'll find that if you have filled out your side of the sellers change of ownership papers then the buyer will be getting little notes from the LTSA about needing him to do the same. there are fines involved for not doing it in under a week i am sure.

I just spoke to a guy who told me that a car he sold had changed hands 3 times before it was crashed then the insurance company came gunning for him to pay costs (of the other car). How long did you sell the vehicle? Have you posted in your MR10a (I don't know I think it's something like that number) anyway the sellers form that you have to fill out? If you've posted that along with the buyers details then you can contact the LTSA on 0800-108-809 and they'll be able to note it on their system that you've disposed of the vehicle. The other thing you can do to stop yourself from getting stung is either de-register the vehicle or suspend it. Neither of which will cost you. To de-registered it you will need to go to the AA or posty office and fill out a form. If you say that the vehicle was taken to a wreckers and you don't have the plates that's fine apparently or tell them you lost them (the plates). The down side of that is that the new owners will want to know WTF is going on, when they go to get registration for the car. It costs $300 to re-register and vin a car so they may not be happy. LTSA won't chase you for 2 years if the new owners don't get registration so you may get stung with 2 full years of back rego to pay.
I'd say call LTSA and see if they can help. (They're f*cking useless but, who knows?)

yeah they are useless, i phoned them and they basically told me it's my problem, and to try and get hold of the buyer, if he doesn't reply to my emails, i'll just dereg the bike, he bought it in chch

Send him an email saying exactly what you intend to do so that if he does come back at ya, you're covered. But I'd say de-reg it.

Mate to cover your arse legally just unbolt the plate and the contact him so there's no chance of being looked at by the coppa's.
You are entitled to do so...and then give him the option on paying the $10 to change it or de-rego the bike.
My 2c...

Got a pic? I'm trying to gauge purchasing a bike and what I'll get for my bucks. May even feel like getting into the repo business.

Sounds like there is one in CHCH you could get keys for and permission from the registered owner to pick it up.....

and we have a result, i sent him a txt around 2pm asking him to change rego, no response, i sent him a text just before telling him i was going to dereg it if he didn't change it and he replied within 5mins saying he will do it tommorow :bleh:

Get it checked tomorrow on 0800 108 809 in the arvo. They'll tell ya coz the data gets inputted at the counter when the change of ownership papers are paid for. (straight from HER mouth - she's grumpy tonight so I'm not going to push it.)

and the plot thickens :pinch:
i phoned him yesterday to find out whats going on, apparently he sold it a month ago, and the new owner hasn't changed it over either, so i don't know why he was stuffing me round saying he was going to change it to his name, arrrgh, so what do i do now, i'm gonna ring ltsa and calmly (not like last time, which got a bit abusive) ask them for some advice, am i going to be able to dereg this bike without the plates, as i really don't want to end up getting someone elses fines

you should be able to derego it without the plate just say the plate got damaged or fell down the road or some crpa so you don't have it....

if that doesn't work....pay 8.80 and get a new plate and say old one was lost.....then you don;t have to hand in whats left say you lost it somewhere and dunno where it went get the new plate...then derego it....

Give the guy like 2 days to sort it and then dereg it. Hardline him and carry through. It aint your deal to worry about.

This is what Auckland has taught me, oh what have I become.

I had thiks prob when I sold a car last year, and the new owner is liable for fines for not changing the rego, so if the paperwork has been done, and you've posted off your bit, you are not in any trouble. The law is stupid, and should demand the disposer complete all paperwork, so that you know its done. The current law is not overly well thought out imo.

what a relief, phoned ltsa and it turns out the new, new owner finally got his a into g and chaged the rego over, he musta done it first thing this morning, but i've learnt my lesson now, i will never be letting a bike out of my site until the rego is changed over

No the lesson is to ensure you have a copy of all the paperwork required to change rego over to new owner on hand when you sell the bike, get the buyer to fill it out there and then and if is NZPost open hours go down and change it there and then, take the new owner with you. It costs what $25-$30 for piece of mind thats gotta be cheaper than an outstanding bill for rego or speed camera fine.

That is why the give you a form to fill out saying your selling the bike to such and such a person. Then you post that away and you dont take the fall for any fines the new owner gets befor he puts the bike under his name

gamgee

27th February 2006, 14:29

yeah but the thing is i DID have one of those forms, only thing is when i got him to fill it out, because he was going back to chch, and we were sort of rushing round, getting the bike on the trailer, doing paperwork etc. i didn't notice he'd actually filled out the part that i was supposed to, the notice of seller disposing of vehicle, so thats what screwed the whole thing up

$25??!!?? It costs about $9 doesn't it and the buyer's supposed to pay that's why the sellers form is a freepost one?

what bike? it's had the rego changed over so the rego unbolting is no longer an option :no:

You could be right on the cost, th point is avoid the headaches later and ensure it is done.

There's no bike now (for me) ... :cry: But the issues have been sorted...:D
A good result

Amazing how motivated people can get when you give them a choice!
