VicRoads threatens to unregister vehicles of drivers who have already paid rego 

This is a joke, people have paid their registration amount as requested but because VicRoads make a mistake that causes motorists who paid in good faith will have their registration cancelled. This is typical of Labor governments. UNBELIEVABLE.....actuually nothing more than typical Labor incompetence.

Victoria , the place to be ? No , the place to flee .

Victoria is a labour led joke , due to a pathetic opposition.

VicRoads should honour the price they posted out. It's their mistake.

No wonder this country is in such a mess

Victoria = California 2.0.

Rego in Australia is a ripoff compared to other countries

Incompetent Departments everywhere you turn. 🤬

Don't pay the extra LET them de register u Keep driving with copies of original payment and if caught go to Court Represent yourself and find out if the Judiciary is as CORRUPTED as the VIC GOVERNMENT

Victoria is run by scoundrels with empty coffers.

Any other business that did this would have to eat the loss. Their mistake. Imagine buying something then getting a phone call later telling you the wrong price tag was on it. But that's government for you. All turning into tyrannical bloodsuckers.

VicRoads should also demote or sack the person who sent out the incorrect amount to be paid!! Time government woke up to their responsibilities.

the bill was quoted and paid.end of transaction

Vic land tax plus covid tax are far worse

It's called double dipping

The fair trading act wouldn’t allow this in a retail situation.

What about all the Victorian's that paid for nothing during the pandemic when are we getting refunds

I just paid my rego a few days ago, $743.82. I paid my bill. Lawyers need to jump on this.

Can they find a way to give Dan an award for this?

Corporate extortion by vicroad

Victoria, the place to flee.

W.A. licence is obscene as Well, so much for electricity help straight down the loo.😠😠😠

Why blame the govt when the voters overwhelmingly voted them in?

If I present you with a contract and you agree to the terms I can't then reneg on that agreement and say I want to alter the terms.

Follow Queensland which is reducing the registration fee by 20%!

Crooks in charge! What's the legislation regarding a retail store that puts up the wrong price tag?

We have been conned again...Vicroads is a Corporation and we are forced to contract with them to use a vehicle on roads taxpayers pay for. This in breach of monopoly laws as there is no other avenue for us to use.

Victorians should report this to the ACCC. The Vicroads rego renewal emails displayed the cost of Rego to pay at that time, and that was paid in full by many in good faith. Retrospectively increasing the advertised price after payment is illegal, even if the price was Vicroads' mistake.

In Victoria, instead of fixing the roads, they just reduce the speed limit. They need the extra money to pay for the thousands of additional speed signs so they can pocket the money that should have been used to fix the roads.

Registration=state sponsored extortion. Period. We already pay fuel tax to maintain the roads. On top of licensing AND tolls. How many fucking times do they expect us to pay for the one thing.

the rego price was advertised to the customer , all agreed to the price and the customer paid . If the price is wrong at the checkout it is free. Australian Code of Practice.

Looks like the vic roads accounts person got a bad performance review and said watch this 😂

The greedy beast eventually eats itself....!!!

When i go to the shopping centre or a restaurant for isntance. Il like to say thinga like thnaks for ripping me off and making life terrible. Its time to start going into government offices and thanking them for what they really are.

I think 180000 people need to start a class action against the Vic Government.

The greenslip was introduced in NSW on the premise that it was going to save the motorists money. That worked for three years then the prices shot through the roof!

Yet a Truckie recently got fined $1500 for ticking the wrong box in the mandatory National Work Diary

Victorian public service doing what they do best - f**king everything up.

take them to court. the green grocer cant chase you down the street saying he got the price sticker wrong. this is illegal. they can ask, they can beg, but they cant change the terms of the contract after the fact.

How about they give a refund for all the time we couldn't drive our cars during lockdowns! I doubt they can legally unregister your vehicle.

Vicroads staff seem to spend more time at planning meetings, team meetings and coffee mornings than actually doing their job properly.

We should all relocate to The Principality of Hutt River

I was already pissed off at VicRoads after the 90 zone on Thompsons Road & the 100 zone on Frankston-Dandenong Road were both reduced to 80, now this is a new low.

Meanwhile….give out a kings award….

Earlier this year Revenue NSW failed to send out court attendance notices to over 3000 motorists who elected to have their matter heard in court, all were found guilty in their absence surprisingly. Now they are trying to have the court orders set aside and re listed but in the interim the points have been added to all those licences

Congratulations! You are exactly like America!

I'm done with this state government. I'm selling up and moving away. We are getting the absolute piss taken out of us all.

What do you expect from a State that cant run a sports carnival 😂 Keep voting Labor Vic

The pink slip is absolutely necessary because we don't need dangerous, unroadworthy vehicles on the road. The separate green slip was instituted by one of NSWs worst ever premiers when he took the compulsory third party personal insurance away from the government owned GIO and spread it amongst dodgy private insurance companies.

How I would love to be a Billionaire Lawyer……to have the time and freedom to sue their arse…….

DOES VIC ROADS CONDEMN KHHHHAMAS?

I believe that situation is covered well under the Trade Practices Act. they should just wear it!

It’s well over $500 to register a motorcycle in Queensland. That’s just blatant extortion.

That's an administrative error. People who have paid have already agreed to the deal. This is vicroads mistake, and they need to own it. You wouldnt sell someone a car and then decide that you want three per cent more a few weeks later.

I would have thought a contract lawyer would have fun with this.

there is too many in the government. eating off the same pie.

I thought VicRoads has been sold for 40 years or whatever the time is to a superannuation company. Therefore if the invoice is for X amount then that is the price. Maybe the police should be investigating a private business for extortion, or obtain property by deception.

When you get a bill for a set amount that's what you pay. If they change it after its been paid that's on them. What a lot of of crap.

Typical incompetent clowns in the public service. Would be fired anywhere else.

Bureaucrat problem; their loss.

Bloody hell! Thanks for presenting this story with such sarcasm. If it weren’t so true, I’d be pissing myself laughing (but you guys did bring a smile to my face).

Or simply 'Travel' without any rego, as is our Common Law right. 'Driving' is a commercial term - ie getting paid for your time on the road. 'Travel' is for private use only, no reg/lic required.

Should have been reduced for not being able to drive in lock down.

But I own the road.

Maybe if VicRoads sent an actual letter instead of something that looks like a scam then people might believe VicRoads. Is The price hike each year pays for employee wage indexation rises?

Messed up a quote. Basically sold a $4000 VSD for cost less gst, and didnt charge for labour. So I lost $400 on the VSD sale, and worked for 2 days for nothing. My business has ethics, I wore it with a fake smile.

Think China Bought VIC ROADS ?

No wonder Victoria is broke. Labor what a joke.

You are standind on the cliffs edge, Victoria. Question is, will you follow the LEMMINGS you have voted in.

This stupidity is expected from a Labor government been doing this style of garbage for 38 years.

Incompetence

ACCC should come out of hypersleep and look into this because this would no doubt be in breach of consumer law

as a small business ( before Covid ) the law (consumer law )was if you send a invoice and you dont bill enough , TOUGH! thats on you the business , if you over charge then the customer can refute the invoice and get it fixed , does consumer apply to consumers when the business is part of the government ( reminder VICROADS has a ACN , can we complain against the ACN holder and get compensated ?)

As a former manager of a retail Mobile Phone outlet, if we made a pricing error, under the Consumer Protection Act the vendor has to honour the stated price. there is not a business in the country that can come at you and say, "sorry we under charged you for your purchase, cough up" more so if I enter a store and select an item for purchase for let's just say $59.99 ticket price. they cannot say "Sorry that's the wrong price it's actually $75.50" even if it really is $75.50 they have to sell it for the ticketed $59.99. Should be the same for the Government, your mistake not mine, I paid in good faith deal, not my problem.

Gee I have regos due starting September. I will be personally going to the local Vicroads office and inquirie. The Government stuffs up and it just swept under the carpet. You stuff up and you get a pineapple. Ouch!

When the original Vehicle Registration renewal notice was sent to VICROADS clients - That was the Contract. There was offer and acceptance of that contract. Any post decision to vary the contract and claim a higher payment is ILLEGAL and a breach of contract by VICROADS --- All those affected should now file a class action lawsuit against the VICTORIA GOVERNMENT and seek remedy and compensation.

Also the money they lose from all those EV's on the road.

Comprehensive insurance.?……don’t think so

Trailer loads of people moving to Queensland wonder why with all the other rises tax on top of taxes 😮🤔🤔🤔✋✋✋✋✋🚙🚙🏃

Class action !!

What really is going on in Victoria? Seriously, are they still part of Australia?

If I buy a product in a store that has been incorrectly marked cheaper, do I pay the full price or the marked price??? No you don't the store has to cop the losses. Rego is a product, it should be treated the same.

Does this not surprise anyone. Not only the undercharged amount but the interest that accumulated from that.

Victoria acting like an authoritarian state ... who'd have thought !

They have more important things to concentrate on, like turning the kids trans. Yet again, they actually voted for this clown show.

My good mate left Vicroads in protest at the certain ethnic group of employees they insist on hiring. He also says these kind of anomalies happen on a regular basis. Sabotage was the word he used.

People are learning how to revoke rego and licencing from these Norfolk island corporations and reorganising organically...

Simple contract law.. offer and acceptance. They offered a service for a price, anyone who paid this has “accepted”.

Imagine you have to pay to drive on a roads that have already been paid for. You already pay taxes... pay more pay more to the rich people

The High Court in October last year pointed out that car registration is an excise on a moveable item and as such is beyond the power of the State to impose, as it breaches section 90 and 92 of the Commonwealth Constitution.

Did life really get simpler through technology I don't think so

Vic roads sent out a quote If a tradie quotes low, they wear the mistake. So why is this any different

Isn't bill is a legal document. They are not in a legal position to be demanding more.

Remember how bad Kennett was when he had to rebuild Victoria after a Labor disaster? We need bad Kennett back about now.

These three are like geese - all screeching together. Maybe they could use a buzzer system - the first to smash the buzzer locks out the other two for 10 seconds.

Nope. The bill was sent, paid for and a receipt generated. That is the end of the transaction.

I work for local government and the money wasted is by management is ridiculous often bandaid repairs where you repair it 6 or 7 times instead of fixing it the first time which would have been considerably cheaper than multiple repairs.

Thats not all...the license data base has also been hacked...Drivers getting notice to renew the license with new details...How many fake licenses are out there with others using your license...???

Contract is a contract. Can’t renegotiate the cost after payment!

2:58 Good point. We're all being governed by people with the honesty and legitimacy of the average "Nigerian prince".
