Im having Rego Issues - NEEEEEED advice please (trailer)

Sure have --- comes up saying -- RTA details Match - there are no Encumbrances on this vehicle

thats all it says ---


Boc

I would be talking to an RTA manager then. They should at least be able to contact the old owner on your behalf.

If not do a Stat Dec stating that you have misplaced the transfer papers and see if they will accept that, especially since the trailer has not been registered for 3 years.

Good Luck

Cheers Kev

Yep, I'd start from scratch, bodgy up a receipt & blue slip it!

I was thinking that -- but for that i would need the guys name and address --- that i simply dont have ....


Boc

I will be doing some work on it this weekend -- its in good nick its mostly aluminium with exception of the chassis .....

prob is it does have the Trailer number welded onto ( or vin)

how would i go about starting from scratch? there are no manufacturer details on the trailer

Boc

Register it as a home made trailer. Therefore no chassis number as such

Ozboc
just call it "Home made" look for all numbers on the trailer, and be up front with them,have a copy of the revs certificate, to show to them.

Cheers for now...Willian H...Bunbury...WA.

thanks William - i will look into that now .......

BOC

Looks Like this is what i may have to do - does this still fall under the BLueslip check - or is this something that MUST be taken to RTA inspection ?

Will get it weighed at local weigh station - the trailer has 2 tonne GVM

As far as I know any inspection station can do the job for you...
...oldbaz.

This may work OK.
I bought a camper trailer in Qld and had to have it blue slipped in NSW. Got the blue slip done OK.
Also needed to prove ownership to the RTA which was OK as I had a bill of sale even though it was only hand written.

WHY would i say RTA staff clueless as usual ---

I had a motorcycle stolen and it was Just re registered a few weeks before so i had the full 12 months rego on the bike --

I went to RTA to ask to cash in the rego - Was told they have to have the number plate

I tell them the number plate was stolen with the bike -- i get a blank look - she says but you will have to bring the number plate in so i can cancel your registration ....

i explain that the number plate was stolen with the bike - therefore i can not bring it in ...... was told the same thing again .....

Ask to see on duty manager ---

Told HIm the story --- he repeated what she told me about having to bring in the plates ---- i repeated that the plates were stolen and attached to the stolen bike -- therefore i dont have them ...

told me that he can not cancel without the plates...... I gave up


This is just ONE of the many times i have not got any joy from the RTA - this is why i say "Clueless as usual"


Today no exception ....... went in - pressed registration transactions --- waited 20 min -- get called up --- get told i have to go back out and press the ALL OTHER TRANSACTIONS button as she is only doing quick rego transactions ..

I get the ticket for " ALL other transactions " wait another 20 min -- guess what --- get called up to the same attendant at the counter .......

should i tell you more ?????


Boc

thanks for your input - i think i will be going with this option ... :)


and thanks to all the replied --- will post a follow up when/ If it all works


Boc

GDay Graham , thanks for your suggestion - the numbers on the trailer , that being the only identifier is a 6 number long welded number starting with 81

will do as you have suggested - if asked by RTA or blueslip suplier about the previous owner ( As this number is in the system) what should i say ?>

Boc

81 means it was registered in 1981
