What Can I Do?

I sold my fto back in march and have recently recieved the rego renewal. The sale was cash so i dont have a reciept, and i lost my part of the Notice of Disposal. I do not know the name of the buyer and the only thing i have is his mobile number but he has not had his phone turned on for 5 days now. The RTA cannot do anything without a name or address.

what can i do?

I dont really want to go to the police but it looks like my only choice?

why didnt you submit your notice of disposal as soon as you sold it?

fill out the new notice of disposal

Don't he need the name of the buyer and their signature to complete the notice?

Nah, talk to the cops.

I've had similar problems before, had an old Ford Laser stolen from me many years ago, started getting parking fine 2 years later. When the cops asked "Why didn't you report it stolen?" I said, because I didnt give a sh*t, car cost me a case of beer

Still, I had to pay all the fines... almost $1100 bucks worth! Some Abo had flogged it & parked it the middle of an intersection in Redfern... and with my name still as the registered owner, it was my problem. Had to pay to get it towed, then destroyed too. Ended up a $2000 story.

just cancell the rego that will force him to rego it into his name you have the rego papers... just go to the RTA in your state and cancell it now before he robbs a bank with your plates on it. then if he gets pulled over he will get the fine not you.
