What is the name of your state? NJ
Sent in my registration on a Monday. Check hit bank MVC deposited it to on Friday of the same week. My car was towed by NJ transit on the next day Saturday based on being "unregistered" NJ transit is claiming the system the have access to is "real time" Perhaps, the info they have available to them from MVC is not updated daily or perhaps the transit cop who called to check on my vehicle's status inadvertently provided the wrong license plate, but perhaps not because the following Monday I had to complete another registration at MVC in order to retrieve my car since they still claimed to have no record for the previous registration even though they happily cashed my check.
Shouldn't the date-stamped checked be sufficient to prove (on my court appearance for "vehicle abandonment") that my vehicle was not abandoned and also that the car was, in fact, registered. I have also saved our round-trip train tickets (and receipts from our day's purchases) to prove that we had every intention of returning to our car. What is the best course of action to recoup the towing costs-where does the responsibility lie- MVC for accepting payment for a "service" they failed to provide or NJ transit for towing so quickly without taking proper steps to determine that my car was, in fact, registered.
