Well been in touch with the insurance company today, they havent got a clue how this happened (no suprise there) but they do seem rather eager to sort the issue out.
They are working with Turners who sold the bike to find out what has hapened and will getting back to me ASAP.
Personally I dont care whos fault it is I just want it sorted!
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

wouldn't that be nice!(might just be worth the ticket!)

I know that if you go to the post office you can get a form saying you didn't own the vehicle at the time of a speed camera and you get off.
Best Frenemy you could have!
don't see what you're complaining about really...
There is a ticket on the bike, and it ain't yours, and you ain't responsible. When I get tickets... I can't say that they aren't mine... (well, I do try, but it never works)
Don't get too riled up, you just have to tick the boxes, follow the process, and come out the other side. If it makes you feel any better, treat it like a game. They are trying to get you, and you're trying to get them... you'll get them in the end anyway

Carfax.co.nz is pretty goodCan you do a check on finance owing on vehicles too? If you can, please PM me, I have a couple of vehicles I am interested in finding out if money is owed on them...Thanks love
here is a form on the auckland city website to fill out which basically gives you space to fill out your explanation, and if you use the pdf one instead of the online one you can attach any evidence
then you just chuck/shred/burn all their threats to take you to court over $200 until, 3 to 4 months later, they post back saying they were wrong and they'll let you off, but only just this once
they don't even post back to say they recieved their submission, so if anyone seriously asks for money tell em to shove it till they read your submission.
this is their process so let them suffer for it
if there is ever a practical use for cameras on cellphones that justifies the cost, fighting parking/police/insurance bills is it
(here's the uni bike club's experiences with auckland city parking wardens - the bike could well have a wof anyway just the warden didn't bother to look for it)
Yarrrrr
OMG Turners didn't de-register it!?? They're good at that.

Be careful - you could end up with your car (or bike) being towed until you pay the fine!
You must write to the council and ensure they receive it within the 28 days allowed. End the letter with "therefore a hearing is requested".
If you don't do this the law council are legally allowed to file the unpaid fine with the court - and the court couldn't care less who the owner is and have all sorts of powers to get your money.
Request a hearing within 28 days of the Reminder Notice and it is guaranteed you won't have to pay (although the process can be be somewhat time consuming as council/court staff aren't noted as employing much common sense).

Yep, had an issue myself with Turners not making sure that the paper work was done by the new owner.

Good luck with that. Any result yet?

Funny you should post, another letter arived in the mail from ACC acknowledging the letter sent to them by turners and stating that they have fowarded the infringment on to the new owner and if they take responsibility I will not recive any further corospondence from them.
I am still not hopefull, if it was you would you take a $200 fine voluntarily?

why should they have to agree to take responsibility, they now own the vehicle, ergo its their fine.
I say fight them as you didnt own the vehicle at the time it was ticketed and they now have proof from turners. The new owner owns the fine regarless if they want to or not.

Edit : I might even go dereg it lol collect the reg thats left on it ! Wink !!
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

Dont worry I aint going tobe the one paying the ticket, currently I am just going through the due process with as little effort required by me. If the ticket lands back on my lap at the end of that then it will start
