Evidence of Sale of a Vehicle 4 years ago
Dear VicRoads,
I sold a 2017 Porsche Wagon back in 2019, and my insurer never cancelled the insurance, so I have been paying direct debit premiums for the last 3 years. To receive a backdated refund, I need to show evidence I sold my car either with a Vehicle Registration Transfer Notice, or a Signed Letter from Vic Roads stating the date the registration was transferred out of my name.
I have attended Vic Roads twice to obtain this, and have had no luck. I paid for a search and extract and was provided with a letter saying the registration was cancelled in 2019, however, my insurer is saying that isn't enough as the car was comprehensively insured - I need to show evidence the vehicle was completely out of my name.
The car's registration at the time was 01FOX and the VIN was WP1ZZZ95ZJLB41747.
Your assistance is appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Jovan Fox
