I feel stupid nobody needs to say the obvious but. A couple of months ago I sold a car - and trusted them to change their side of ownership (dumb). Now I have three parking tickets totalling $81. If I supply the new owners details, it seems that they will wipe as per the legal mumble on the back. What can I do about my erstwhile car! should I deregister it in spite! haven't been able to contact the new "owner" as of yet.
Yes dumb I know very dumb

Why not just change the ownership to their details if you know them! Will cost $10 but be worth it.

Continue trying to contact. If no avail, you can via the Post Office, change ownership to No name, No Address. I thought this was the prerequisite to having the earlier tickets wiped.

I changed my part online and entered the new owner details. they assured me that they were headed directly to the post office. poster #2 I think you cant actually make the change without showing the new owners ID!

apply for duplicate plates and say you lost your plates, threaten the current owners that unless they change ownership, you will deregister the car

I'm pretty sure normally you need their drivers licence number to do it, but there maybe other ways. I Would de rego it but that could come back to bit you as its not yours to de rego

Yes - but is still registered in my name. wonder what the repercussions would be lol. I'm pretty annoyed and that was my first thought

You can't. It requires the person whose name it is being changed to to provide ID.

The repercussions to deregistering the vehicle could be serious as you no longer own it. I'll repeat this simple, but far reaching, fact once again: registered ownership is NOT legal title.

Yep true - but not as satisfying as ruining the vehicle for them! So only option is change of ownership to unknown! - if no contact with them is made!

Is that a new rule! I have several times changed ownerships over without the person even being present or having id. Just went into the AA and gave their details and it was done, this was a while ago though.
If i was the OP i would at least try going down to the AA and explaining the situation and trying to get it changed over, you may be surprised.

You mean you have since starting this thread, or you did originally! I assume by changing ownership you actually only mean completing the MR13A.

SO when you made a submission to the parking authority pointing this out to them (they will already have looked actually), they said what!
