Everything is a fight
I knew the plates on my Toyota would expire at the end of January, so at the beginning of November, I mailed off the paperwork to get Oregon plates for it. For the longest time, the DMV has been closed to appointments for renewing registrations. I had to fill out the paperwork, actually take the car to the DMV to have what's known as a VIN inspection done. That's where someone from the DMV verifies the VIN on your car for you, gives you a form with said information on it, and separates you from $7 of your hard earned money.
You cannot register a vehicle that's not titled in Oregon, in Oregon. Because my car has a Utah title and the Credit Union still has possession of said title until the loan is paid off, I had to mail my application, my VIN inspection, and a check for a lot more than $7 to the credit union in Utah with a letter explaining that I needed them to send the Utah title, all the paperwork, and the check I enclosed, to the DMV in Oregon so they can, then, send the Oregon title back to the credit union in Utah for them to hold onto until the loan for said Toyota is paid off.
Today, I got a letter from the Oregon DMV that says they cannot process the registration because I sent them a photocopied application for title. They need an original.
I'm about 100% sure I did not, in fact, mail them a photocopied application for title. I do not know if the credit union photocopied the application for title and kept the original by mistake so they could account for the title not being in their files anymore, but on Monday, I get to re-mail an application for title.
In the letter, they suggested I had 30 days to do this. I filled it out today and will mail it on Monday because it won't go anyplace before Monday anyway. What concerns me is that it took them at least 90 days to open the original mail they received for this and there's no special address to mail the new application for title to.
So on top of mailing the app for title again, I get to call the DMV. That ought to be fun.
I swear, everything is a fight.....
