Bad news. Sale turned unprofessional.

They sold our car without deregistering/ changing ownership. BAD NEWS!! We now have the problem of getting etolls charged to us ( R343 already)as they sold the vehicle with our number plate. What a disgrace, I had told the buyer Jaco we need a copy of change of ownership at sale, he said no problem the office will process it and email. Four weeks later and our etoll account is depleted as this was not done. Over this four week period numerous calls were made to WBC who assured us that it was in process and not to worry. Today when I called Rose she said they would email confirmation that it was being sorted, nothing yet received. Called back WBC and asked for a manager and was told only the buyer could sort it out and they could not put us through to a manager we must contact Jaco. So disappointing. Surely its ******* to sell a car with plates from previous owner. Now must hope no traffic fines arrive. Very unprofessional and so stressful. What a pity because them buying was so smooth and easy. Hope one of the directors can sort this out.

Good Morning Stephen, 
 
As per the feedback provided to you via email, you may remember that the registration document you provided was a pink document. Unfortunately, this requires us to send the vehicle to SAPS to be cleared before we may obtain the new green RC1 document. Only upon receipt of the green RC1 document may we change the ownership of this vehicle to We Buy Cars. 
 
Unfortunately, we only received the pink document two days after this vehicle was sold. The new owner was unable to take our calls until recently. We have arranged for this vehicle to be brought back to our warehouse so that it may be sent for the required clearance. Once it returns we will be able to start the registration process. 
 
As soon as the matter is resolved, our Admin Department will be sure to update you accordingly. 
 
We do apologize for the inconvenience caused - if you have not done so already, please be sure to forward us proof of the e-toll bills linked to this vehicle so that we may settle them. 
 
Warmest regards,

sS

Your prompt response is most appreciated. I would like to point out that the pink document was given to your buyer at time of purchase and before vehicle was collected from us. I believe your response insinuates that you received the pink document late from us which is not the case, so the clearance should have been done prior to handing over the vehicle to new owner. I do trust that you will rectify the matter soonest. Regards Stephen
