Late fees when Regestering at D.M.V.?? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I just registered my first deuce at the DMV that was purchased from GL. I ended up having to pay a bunch of late fees because of the way G.L. fills out there paperwork. I registered the vehicle within 2 hours of when the sf-97 showed up in the mail and they charged me around $100 in late fees. The dmv rep stated the penelties were charged from the date G.L. bought the truck from the government. Has anyone eles ever had this happen? Any help or input is appreciated.

Serious question, he did realize you're not with GL right? That aside, I would have gotten a second opinion, because as it sounds to me (and my NC educated mind), their way of thinking would require people who by used cars to pay a late fee based on when the dealer bought it. The date GL bought the truck should have nothing to do with when you bought the truck, unless my thinking is wayyy off here.

Yes I agree with you. Any dealer that conducted business like this would no longer have there dealer license in California. I told the dmv rep that I purchased it from G.L. and they still said I was responsible for G.L.'s late fees even though the vehicle had never been registered.

Go get your money back see a supervisor

CA DMV wanted to charge me late fees too. I asked for a supervisor and showed them the postmark on the USPS Priority envelope that GL used to send me my paperwork. The supervisor understood that even though I paid for the truck in March, I didn't get my paperwork until months later. A couple keystrokes and the fees were gone.

Well I have been on the phone for 15 minutes waiting to talk to someone at the DMV. I think there solution is to make people wait long enough on the phone that they give up.

There is a special provision in Texas law that eliminates the late fees when buying from the government.

Wow I just got of the phone with the DMV and they basically told me tough S**T and hung up on me when I started asking questions. Unfortunately it is not worth the aggravation and wasted time to go sit in line at the dmv to listen to some half wit tell me that it is not there problem. The state of california Sure has some seriouse problems in the government. Sorry for venting.

Go vent on the supervisor and file a complaint on the poor customer service. I'm soo tired of all these government and state employee's treating people like ass. I dont let it happen anymore.
