In Oregon, I've never paid for my gas before it was in the tank...not required here. And like Denecee said, it is against the law in Oregon to pump your own gas. The attendant must do it. Hooray!

That must be nice, not in NY you have to pump your own gas, and there is no attendant. You don't have to pay for gas, then who does, I thought everyone had to pay for their own gas?

Sheila, not before you pump it. You pump then pay. Or, pay as you pump, like I do.

Ok, We have to pay before pumping which I hate because you have to go back into the store and get your money that you didn't use up. I tried to find a gas station that will let you pump gas then pay which is fine by me. Not too many of them around.

Can't you pay at the pump? Via ATM or Credit Card? I can't remember the last time I had to go in to pay. Also, I do know that if it is a station you frequent, you might ask the attendant if you can fill up before paying. Sometimes they'll say yes. My grandpa does it all the time.

LOL, I'll share a "this is how dense Wargod can be" story. I use my atm card to pay for gas at the pump, unless I happen to have cash which is pretty much never. At my most used gas station, the one right up the street, when you run your atm card the only number it asks you to put in the machine is your zip code. About every other time I go to get gas, I'll enter my pin number..which locks up the machine and forces you to go inside, lol. The cashier pretty much shakes his head at me and says, "AGAIN?"

war, you have to handle a car transaction two ways. from the sound of it, you're just doing it one way. both the seller and the buyer are separate. you are letting the buyer handle the transactions. you need to go to DMV and handle things from YOUR end as the seller. did you file a "Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability"? go here: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/sell.htm to see what you need to do.

not THEY, YOU! war, you need to go to DMV and get this straightened out. when the buyer goes in, the DMV person looks at the BUYER's information. currently it is the SELLER (you) who is having the problem, not the BUYER. as i said you're letting the buyer do the work. and i never trust anyone to handle DMV for my transactions. i take care of my stuff, myself.

If this happens next year - send the registration notice back stating when and who you sold the car to. If your BIL doesn't get a registration renewal form, he needs to take his current registration in and deal with it off of it. By renewing off of your renewal notices some how some way it's getting into the system as it is still your vehicle but not showing that he paid. This happened to me in Kansas when I bought a used car, and the 3rd time the previous owner brought me the registration renewal form I told him I didn't want it he had to deal with what they said HE owed and I took my registration, title, and proof of purchase in and got it all straightened out on my side. The next year I got my renewal registration like I should have been all along. Not sure if the previous owner got a notice the next year as I told him to leave me alone. He was kinda scary.

No, that's what I'm saying, lol, Darren went in with my bil (actually if I remember right, they did that right after we gave the lincoln to bil and didn't wait til registration renewal came in.) I specifically remember them going and doing it because it took close to two weeks to set up a time both the guys were off work that the DMV was open.

OH I guess if it's not too late you do it this year. Just treat it as 2 separate transactions. You as the previous owner are taking the mail you got saying you still owe registration on a car you do not own. You take the mail you got. Your BIL goes in - and I'd say at a different time than you as not to confuse things - with his title, registration, and proof of purchase or proof of transfer if he still has it and tell them he never got a renewal form and they will get him set up in the system.

LOL, yeah that's what I'm worried about Landi! Serate, the strange thing is that I called my sister and asked her if bil had gotten the renewal form last year and she said yes. I guess that's where a big portion of my confusion comes from because the DMV is treating both of us as if we own the same car. Makes no sense to me. Ok, so basically despite everything Darren and my bil have already done, they'll have to go back to deal with it. Another question then is that because the Lincoln was registered to Darren, will he have to take a day off work to go deal with it, or will I be able to go to the DMV for him?

For now I'd leave your BIL out of it. Just send the letter back, or go in either or, and tell them the car was transferred on MM/DD/YYYY and if they run the VIN number on their registration software they will see it is showing up registered to BIL and you would appreciate not getting any more notices. Another thought just hit me - have you checked the VIN number on the notices you've been getting against what's on the title and/or what notices BIL has been getting? If they typed the letter l "ell" instead of the number 1 "one" that could be why it's still showing up in Darren's name AND in your BIL's name.

Depends on the County and State. In Henry County Kentucky I could do my husbands, my name not being on the title. Do anything I wanted to - even got his veteran's disability plates. In Wapello, Appanoose, and Monroe Counties in Iowa same thing. Here in Polk County, Ia they told me to go sit back down and wait my turn because 2 vehicles are in hubby's name only and one car in my name only. My husband wouldn't cash checks at our bank in Kentucky because I paid the bills so signed the checks. The checks we got were before we were married and only his name on them. Had 3 boxes left when we got married and I was too cheap to buy more with my name on them so continued to just sign his name on the checks when I paid the bills.

Heh, no mailing at this point. I'll try to go in and deal with it, if I can't he'll have to take some time off work for it. Unless one of us is standing there staring at them I'm not going to buy for a minute it's taken care of!

Wargod, do you belong to the CSAA? They handle car licenses in their bigger branches and they are very efficient, and hardly any queues. They might be able to get this sorted out for you.

What is the CSAA? Darren read the letter tonight, laughed, told me to call bil and get the VIN number he has tomorrow and then he'll go take care of it Friday if he gets off work early enough or Saturday if not. Other than commenting on how we'd never been late on any of the cars, let alone the Lincoln (heck we kinda liked that DMV bill, it was cheap, lol!) he seemed to find the whole thing rather amusing which totally ticked me off since I've been worrying about it all day.

I thought it was still called AAA? And no we don't. LOL and yes, I will worry half to death when I get a nasty letter threatening seizing property and garnishing wages when I haven't heard a single thing about this damn car in 18 months!
