Roadworth Certificate – vic roads/car dealer problem PLEASE HELP !?Hi,
I brought a car last year in may 2008, it was registered at the time of sale. In my contract of sale it states – "sold with RWC" as part of the deal/legally binding. I received a white vic roads **photocopy** of the RWC and a vic roads pink slip copy of the registration transfer from the dealer. When registration renewal came around (this year) I did not receive a vic roads letter. Hence, I discovered the registration transfer had not been completed and the dealer was receiving these letters – as was still registered under the dealer according to vic roads.
I rang dealership, he got back to me telling me he had someone else have a similar problem ring up that day also from that time and he will look into it and find the paperwork. So he does a day later, and gets back saying it had been sorted out and was a problem vic roads end – that they informed him it should go through by that friday (I had called tuesday). So I call the following Monday, vic roads say no, nothing has changed and registration is still in dealers name. So I go into vic roads with the *pink slip copy* as proof of registration transfer – the lady looks at her computer screen in dismay and says to me "lets just say this it's a mess." Goes away for about 20mins to sort ot out, comes back taps some things in the computer and says it is sorted. So I wasn't sure if it was their end or the dealer. Anyhow the transfer is finalised and fixed up that day. I pay rego all is fine.
Then about 2 – 4 weeks later I get a letter from vic roads requiring:
"1. A certificate of roadworthiness which has been issued by a licensed tester in Victoria and which is dated not more than 30 days before the date of disposal/acquisition of the vehicle.
2. The total amount due and payable on the vehicle has not been received. The details of the fees to be paid include Transfer fee and Motor Vehicle Duty."
I went in with the photocopy of the roadworthy certificate provided by the dealer at time of sale however vic roads will not accept this as it is a photocopy and not original documentation. I was advised by the lady at vic roads at this time that if I just go get another RWC done myself, then once that is received Vic Roads will chase the dealer for the excess fees stated in that letter as it states in my contract of sale, a RWC was part of the agreement as she said.
So.. another $100 RWC later, plus $800 in repairs(and further frustration) I go into vic roads with an orginal *GREEN* vic roads RWC in MY hand and submitted it myself, that is accepted but NOW they have informed me they will not chase dealer for fees, they will send dealer a notice the same as me, however I'm informed either dealer or I need to pay the $500 transfer and duty fees – it is between us.
I just feel at a loss, as an unemployed just graduated student.. I cannot afford any of this. And I originally thought I'd did the right thing,
and this should be btw dealer and vic roads, I paid the money and it was all in my contract, yet I am the one having to run around and try get people to pay etc. I am not sure how to get the dealer to pay these fees if they receive the notice and ignore it, as we all know what dealers can be like. I need help in my legal rights, and obviously although I have the contract of sale with RWC, going to court etc is more costly than the $500 fee. Plus I would like the dealer to pay for the fees (as I have paid for these on sale of the car prior anyhow) and the extra RWC ($100) I had to get done because it was an error thier end, not submitting these forms according to vic roads.
I have written a formal letter to the dealer with attached copies of documents etc etc requesting these items be paid and the issue – sent via registered post also, however I just don't know where to go after this as the car is registered in my name as now, and my registration will be suspended until this fee is paid.
It just seems so unfair, I thought legally vic roads would chase the dealer given the contract of sale evdience I carry stating he/the dealer was suppose to supply the road worthy certificate. Almost seems like I have no power in this issue. Please help ?!?!
