Hi, I was wondering if anybody could give me advice.
I traded my Honda Civic Type R in for a Seat Leon Cupra R two weeks ago at a place in Oldham called Justsports.Org. I had a private plate on the Civic and wanted it transferred onto the Leon, Justsports told me that he would arrange the transfer, which I had no problem with because I've had the Reg transferred onto other vehicles on numerous occasions by different traders and have never had a problem until now.
The day came to swap over the cars and I was very busy, so the lad from Justsports offered to bring the Leon to me, which he did. When he turned up he had my cherished number already on the car, he had rang me the day before and told me to take my plates off the Civic and to put the originals back on, which I did because this is what usually happens anyway. When he turned up he said the paperwork was still at the local DVLA office and he would pick it up as soon as it was ready. I questioned him over this but he assured me everything would be ok. I only had about 3 days to wait for the transfer so I parked the Leon in my garage because I have a works van.
When the seven days had passed I rang Justsports to see if he had picked the paperwork up, he told me that he had been really busy and would pick the paperwork up as soon as he could. As I was on the phone to him I remembered that I had left some cd's in the cd changer of the Civic and asked him to take them out, he said he would and would post them once he got the paperwork and that I was lucky that I remembered about the cd's because he had sold the Civic and it was getting picked up that afternoon.
Another week has passed and when I rang him he gave the same excuse about being very busy and he would pick up the paperwork that afternoon. I then rang DVLA and asked if they had received an application for a reg transfer for the above vehicles, she checked all of the local offices databases and assured me no application had been made. I then rang Justsports and told him what DVLA had said and asked if he was f****** me about, he said no and assured me that the paperwork was ready to pick up from the DVLA and that the DVLA had got it all wrong and that he was definately picking it up that afternoon.
The morning after I rang Justsports but they wasn't answering their phone, I tried all day to get through but to no avail. I rang DVLA again just in case the guy at Justsports had forgot to apply and applied the day before but again nothing on their systems. I then thought the worst about the Leon and rushed home and did a HPI check with the RAC but it came back all ok. The paperwork that Justsports gave me was all photocopies ( log book, MOT Cert etc ) because you need the paperwork for the reg transfer.
Why don't you get over to Justsports ? I hear you ask.
The reason is that I am a psv mechanic at a bus firm that employs 3 mechanics. One of the mechanics has been off on long term sick and I haven't been allowed any time off. Justsports is shut by the time I finish work and I can't even nip there during my dinner hour because Oldham is 40 miles away from where I live and work. The mechanic is supposed to be back at work on Monday so I am going to try and get out early and go over to Justsports. The thing is that I have a pretty short fuse and I am worried that when I get over there I will lose my rag and FILL HIM IN !
Anyhow the question is : The LCR runs out of tax at the end of October and all I have is photocopies of the paperwork, I can't even put the original plates on because I didn't get them off Justsports and you need the log book and stuff to get new plates made up. Is there any thing I can do about this ?
Sorry for boring you with this, but I am getting to the end of my tether![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
