NZTA = money grubbing swine

[Scuba_Steve]

I dont think my point is all that difficult.

Road registering isnt optional. It is mandatory. Flouting the system shits in the face of everyone else who pays the money and follows the rules. If you dont like the system, and tbh I dont blame you, then find a way to change it, or find somewhere else to live.

I dont like the cost of fuel. Maybe I should stop paying for it.

But no-one here is "flouting" the system, people are just sick of being financially raped by the NZTA. This is about NOT using a vehicle on-road but being forced to pay for it, nothing about using a vehicle you are not paying for.

[QUOTE=FJRider;1130279452]I would think ... he is correctly stating why. Not advocating any such thing.



If you put it on hold for six months specified ... you can expect that after six months, rego fee's will be required. (unless you choose to extend the "hold" period)

Simple eh ... !!!



If "punishment" is going into a Post shop and filling out another form ... is it that harsh ... ??? [QUOTE]
Don't have to go to the Post Shop, you can do it online. Have had my 1100 on hold for 4 years now, have never recieved a reminder (and have been at the same address for over 20 years).
Set up your PC to schedule a reminder is easy enough.

Nah, some people find it much easier to blame their own shortcomings onto someone else.

not sure where your argument starts and where the quote ends but it looks like typical enforcement mentality and nothing to do with justice and fairness.

Personally I'm sick of their tardy road maintenance. Perhaps I should put my rego on hold everytime I go over a pothole as a form of protest.

if you feel the need, don't worry me none.

[cc rider]

Oh Please... Don't re-rego your vehicle within 3 mths of Due Date & you have to get a NEW Roadworthy Cert done (at your $$) AND your rego still back dates to it original Due By Date.

Suck them fumes kids



Greetings from the Country that you Govt follows

We get charged a 'Levy' every time paying Rego. It's claimed to go towards Motorcycle 'stuff' on the roads. Cars, trucks or any other road user doesn't have to pay it... I think it's cause we're Speical

No ... this about a whinge ... about somebody that failed to follow all the steps in a due legal process ... and then found it was gong to cost them money to sort it.

Actually, continuous vehicle licensing was introduced to stop a perceived loss of income by ACC. The old system allowed you to simply stop paying a licence fee when the vehicle was not being used.

People now have to be un-licenced for a minimum of 3 months, so ACC are actually worse off, as the guy cribbing a week or so has been replaced with someone who takes three months.

Some people get seriously fd over by the new system so have developed a hatred of the NZTA, who are actually just doing the bidding of ACC.

And the NZTA spend $18,000,000 a year managing it for ACC who don't actually pay a cent for the admin of a very expensive system.

Lose Lose really. Govenment at its best. Lucky I don't pay it.

Yet another charming fact.

Do it online, You receive a comfirmation email.

Do it in person, you get a little tear off slip that SHOULD state the date of exemption expiry.

You now have physical evidence of when the hold expires. If you fail to make note of this, and then get charged money because you don't re-exmpt or register it in time, this is your fault. Don't get angry at the poor person on the phone or behind the counter, their job is to process transactions. Not fix your personal screw ups.

I speak as an agent. Not as an NZTA employee, so don't even bother starting on me. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

If they threaten debt collection send them an urgent letter or email saying you dispute the charge.

Doing that is supposed to get you one month of leeway so that negotiations can occur. From a recent involvement with baycorp and a financial institution (not mine, thankfully) baycorp completely ignore this "in dispute" moratorium period and simply continue with their verbal tirade.

It was quite pleasant fucking over baycorp, however.

You're right, you shouldnt have to tell them how long. Problem is, too many people put their vehicles on hold indefinitely, even when they will still be used for road use.

I had a discussion with a very nice lady at the registration office, who stated "just put it on hold for a period of one year" as being the most sensible solution. If you wish to ride a bike, just register it from that time onwards.

[actungbaby]

I made a big mistake with that recently, with my first bike when I took it off the road, me being the noob that I was, didn't realise that you have to put it on hold or they will still charge you for all rego that happens to accumulate.

Same lucky me got a letter from some Debt company demanding $320or so. for 1 yrs rego for a car that I wasn't even using and there isn't a way out of it either.

Bastards.

you where lucky like me i go letter then court demaned the rego for year and never used the car then got check to demand 500.00 to get wof again what rip of..

Thats on my wee mazda mx5 i should got mine on hold lost my job 2 years no rego know big fee to get it
