[sexidreadz]

Hey guys,

Good work with all the info, it has really help with most of my questions. Anyway, my question is this... About to buy a car and going thru the credit union. The seller had the car transferred in his name a few days ago and only has the receipt, he has to go back to get the certified copy. Can I use that to get the loan from the CU? They asked for a copy of the certified copy so I dont know if they will take the receipt. Help!

[SRASC]

PBP
May 2003-Oct 2003

$6000.00 - < 2 years
$4500.00 - 2-5 years
$3000.00 - 5-7 years
$1350.00 - 7-10 years
$0150.00 - > 10 years

I think in this case the month that it was registered in 2003 is important.

I had to go to see the chief clerk four times just to get my name on the certified copy. I applied for the change in January but it came back on the last owner name.
Most important keep your chits showing transfer and applications for certified copy, because if you are not in there system they will put it in using info. on the chits and you will be able to get your copy.

[pioneer punk]

thanks for the info , so therfore the b14 PBG series if i transfer this month i will hav to pay the 1350 then..

[sexidreadz]

Hey does anyone know how long it takes to transfer a vehicle these days? Someone told me yesterday that you have to carry the car, get it inspected and then go back in a week to actually pay and have the car transferred. Is this true?

[acharles18]

in the north its different

[lmakaveli]

[SRASC]

They have signs in the Licensing Office stating that it is from date of 1st registration Trinidad & Tobago.

[g@16sunny]

What happens if u dont apply within the 7 days???

[boostsignal]

i was there today and the certified copy is now $100.00

Update on my situation.

So your boy paid his $4510 transfer fee + $20 for Certified copy on January 5th 2010 and was told to check back in 8 weeks for the certified copy. Due to situations beyond my control I was only able to go on the 3rd May 2010. Only to be told that it was not done and they are experiencing issues in PoS. They now do an Amendment letter and told me to check back in another 8 weeks. I just had to shale my head and laugh it off yes.

Another note in case if it has not been posted already; I saw sign at the clerk window where you have to collect your Certified copy that said that Certified copies not collected after 1 year the person would need to reapply. (to that effect) This is in South office to is just a heads up just in case.

[bing]

wat? $100.00 you say? can't be!

[g@16sunny]

how much was the certified copy before???

[boostsignal]
