WEDNESDAY - 4 JANUARY 2009 - DEALER ORDERED TO CHANGED OWNERSHIP



DEALER ORDERED TO CHANGED OWNERSHIP

KOTA KINABALU:

The Consumer Claims Tribunal here yesterday ordered AZ Auto (ALFRED) to change the name on the vehicle’s registration card to its new owner, Gilbert Richard @Ziboi, within 30 days.

Tribunal President Rethana Abd Razak gave the order after Gilbert lost patience with the company from which he bought the car. Gilbert filed the claim after the company failed to comply with his request since June last year.

He said the company told him that they had to wait for approval from the Road Transport Department (RTD)in Putrajaya. Gilbert said he has been waiting for a longtime to get his name registered in the vehicle registration card, and he feared it would be difficult for him to get compensation if anything happens to the vehicle.

The owner of AZ Auto, Frederick Mathew said they were in the process of changing the ownership of the car to Gilbert and they have registered his name in the car insurance policy.
