I am in DESPERATE need of help!
here's the documents what i have:
-title (which is CLEAN, no salvage, no leins, not stolen NOTHING)
-reposession clearance form (shows bike was repo'd, approved by Notary, also signed title saying Lein was released)
-lein affidavit (shows no lein registered on vehicle - also US customs checked the VIN to make sure there was no lein)
-bill of sale
-Safety certificate (passed)
-RIV insection form 2 (passed)
-RIV form 1 (obviously)
-paid my GST at border
-recall clearance form, certificate of Conformity
-insurance
So i imported a bike and i had what i thought was all the necessary paperwork, but the (angry, miserable) lady at the MTO 'created' a new document that she wants to see before she'll register the bike.
She told me she wants a letter and financial paperwork showing the original owner (from who the bike was repo'd from) could not pay the loan, and allowed the bike to be reposessed (thats what the repo clearance letter is for!).
She then said:
"how do i know the repo clearance form is real?",
well cus its security watermarked, signed and stamped with a 3D stamp by a Notary. Honestly I was dumbfounded cus what am i supposed to say to her? I told her that US customs checks the VIN status for leins, thefts etc and they cleared it (hence the reason for me getting it into the country); she said:
"MTO has nothing to do with RIV or US Customs, so i dont care what they do"
So i left. I went to an office where they know my face cus of the dealership i used to work for and the ladies were a bit more helpfull, but they too had questions. Funny thing is, the repo clearance form that the 1st office had an issue with, the lady 2nd office didnt even look twice at! The lady at the 2nd office looked at an affidavit from the shop i bought it from, to me, and said:
"hmm i dunno, this doesnt look right...Doesnt look complete. Who's it from? Is this legal, or official?"
It's a straight forward form with the sellers info, bike info and buyers info and signed by both parties; it has multiple copies of the form and ALL copies were there.
So the 2nd office said they would call head office in the morning and to come back.
So i called MTO head office. Spoke to a guy who said he had no idea what paperwork the 1st office was asking about and suggested i got a lady who was in a crabby mood. Also said that would be very difficult to contact the original owner in the States and ask them for documents relating to the repo of the bike (thats what i said to the retard in the office). I told him what the 2nd office was questioning and he said it sounded like a basic contract of sale/ affidavit and he didnt see why they couldn't 'understand' if it was real or not. He gave me the fax number to the Special Investigations unit to resolve it if neither office will register the bike....Meanwhile my safety is running out (and so is summer)
Any ideas, comments.......HELP!
