Transport WA GOV AU – Vehicle License and Motor Insurance Policy

This is a practical approach to record the process taken to pay the vehicle license via a “Bill of Exchange”. It is for you to learn more about the process but it is by no means a guarantee. This information is for educational purpose only.

Step 1 – Sending BoE (no letter)

I have been following Michael’s as well as Rick’s video instructions (if there are public links I could add them in here for people to watch) on how to create the Bill of Exchange.

Here is the result of it and I sent it via registered post to the Department of Transport WA on the 6th October 2023. Please note I have not sent any letter with it as they either were not available or not on my radar yet.

The letter that should be accompanied by the following letter: BoE Acceptance Cover Letter 1 – Authority to Process Bill of Exchange

Step 2 – Reminder email from Department of Transport WA

On the 29th Oct 2023 I found the following email regarding the payment in my inbox:

Subject: Account due reminder … do not reply

Your vehicle XXXXXXX is due on 07/11/2023.  To make payment via our website www.transport.wa.gov.au or phone pay on 1300655322, use the account number 011……. If you prefer to pay using BPAY®  then the biller code is 484634 and the reference number is 1500……..

Step 3 – What is my next step?

Since I did not send the initial BoE Acceptance Cover Letter 1 – Authority to Process Bill of Exchange with the Bill of Exchange (see image above) I consulted with the LIP expert for these affairs and he advised me to send out the BoE Rejection Letter 2 – Notice of Default & Opportunity to Cure via registered post.

I also received advise that I do not need to wait for a reply. If I see that the account has not been settled I can move to the next step after 10 days. So within around 30 days and no replies, you have received acquiescence through silence.

Step 4 – Received Notice of Expired Vehicle License and my response

The following notice has been received on the 5th December 2023.

I already have sent them the 2 previous letters (see above) via registered mail.

I am returning the Notice of Expired Vehicle License together with BoE Rejection Letter 3 – Notice of Default in Dishonour and Estoppel today on the 7th Dec 2023 via registered mail.

Reference: BILLS OF EXCHANGE ACT 1909 – SECT 68

Step 5 – Received Letter and my response

The following letter issued on the 15th December 2023 has been received on the 23th December 2023.

I have amended the letter as you can see (blue and red ink on the letter) and it is being sent back together with a Promissory Note via RETURN TO SENDER on the 28th December 2023.

Reference: BILLS OF EXCHANGE ACT 1909 – SECT 68

Step 6 – Received Letter

The following letter issued on the 3rd January 2024 has been received on the 8th January 2024 in response to my reply – VOID AB IGNITIO and an additional Promissory Note to be settled on the 15th January 2024.

Step 7 – My response

I was just about to send them a Notice of Settlement & Contract Violation as I realised I made a mistake with the previous Promissory Note, I mixed the dates up.

So I decided to send them another NEW promissory note via registered mail with settlement date of the 02-02-2024 to follow up.
