Queensland REVS is a Ripoff!	Tue, 15 June 2004 01:01

I've recently purchased a car last registered in Queensland. Prior to it's purchase I called the Queensland REVS number to check for any encumbrance's, and was told that a full search on the vehicle would cost me over $17 and what was my credit card number? This came as a shock to me as every other state I have ever previously called has done a search over the phone for free, and I don't actually have a credit card. Upon pointing these facts out, I asked to speak to the supervisor and was then put through to an unmannned extension, then disconnected after being asked to leave a messege - I'm still waiting for the call back! Not accepting this, I called the Qld Dept of Transport, where I gave up after 16 minutes on hold listening to how I could claim back any GST credits back if I was registered for such, access to Tram infomation, and if I would like my details changed, even though I live in WA! The background elevator music was also nauseating! I than called the NSW REVS check line on 02 3246 1599, and got all the info I required for free!!! I'd suggest anybody in Queensland who has bothered to listen to my whinge, and requiring REVS info on a car or boat there, also do the same as all the eastern state databases are linked, with Queensland being the only one to charge for the service either via certificate or over the phone . Queensland, beautiful one day, ..., a fucken ripoff the next! [Report message to a moderator]
