My title is dated March 1st because the DMV messed up and forgot to charge me a $2 fee and mailed me title application back. I got my denial email from VW a few weeks ago. I had a current registration on the car and was legally driving it before the Feb 26th date. I submitted my claim to CRC and they just sent me an email that it is being reviewed. My car is otherwise eligible for buyback.I was recently out of the country for work and just heard they set this feb 26 date to get rebuilt title, I got rebuilt title 2 months ago.. will they accept it
Hey please keep us posted when crc replies back to you and I wish you good luckMy title is dated March 1st because the DMV messed up and forgot to charge me a $2 fee and mailed me title application back. I got my denial email from VW a few weeks ago. I had a current registration on the car and was legally driving it before the Feb 26th date. I submitted my claim to CRC and they just sent me an email that it is being reviewed. My car is otherwise eligible for buyback.
I received an offer on 5/9 and turned the paperwork around the same day. However, no further contact received yet. I was waiting to get the turn-in date scheduled before posting the details here.has anyone successfully scheduled a turn-in date?
Good luck. I had no documents because I did not own the vehicle on the proof of operability date, either. Wrote a letter explaining everything I knew about the vehicle, why it met the requirements, and why it was unreasonable for them to ask for the documents they did. I got the official rejection this morning.Does anyone know what has worked for Proof of Operability? My vehicle falls a month before the 6/28/16 deadline and I was not the owner of the vehicle at that time. I need to somehow have a low bar to cross with as little information as possible.
Any Ideas on how to obtain previous owner information?
Any idea on how to find previous licence plate #'s for vehicle?

Thank you for the update CosticaVisinel. I too am wondering about the restitution money seemingly being paid in December. VW has been less than forthcoming on information. Their 'confidential' remark I have heard before and is complete BS. This is not a HIPAA situation, it is a simple yes / no answer without details.Just a quick update.
I had an appointment to turn in the car(reconstructed title, 2.0 salvaged in oct 2016, registered in sept 2017) today. It went smooth, though a bit unusual from the previous experience. (They wanted me to move the car 5 feet forward, 5 feet back. Fine, no problem.) I opted for eft. Now crossing my fingers.
One thing I asked was if they would be able to tell me if there are more claims to the car. I was told they cannot disclose that, for legal reasons. The lady in Michigan (talked to her over the phone, and then the iPad they used for videos of the car, and pictures) told me that I am not entitled to any restitution for a salvaged car (it shows she has been working for VW only for 2 months).
I would like to know if anyone found out from counsel if there is a transparent (ha!, with VW, right?) process regarding the possibility to receive restitution. What if they completely ignore all owners of salvaged cars, just pretending that they gave the money to initial owners...
Also, since they came with this new rule, does that mean I am entitled to the other half of restitution for a different car I had and sold? (I received half of restitution over a year ago. That car was salvaged May 2015, registered July 2015 as reconstructed. Sold it in march 2016.Wish I kept the car...)
Thanks for any input.

Hello I am new to this TDI forum. I saw this thread so I didn't want to start a new one for my question.
I purchased my first TDI last year (April 2017) (after 3 VW gassers) for my new long commute job. I purchased this from an insurance auction. Car was in a small rear accident but was running fine so I picked it up knowing it will not be eligible for the buyback.
But I wanted to get the fix done as I plan on driving this car for the long term or at least until the wheels fall off. So I went on the claims portal and and tried to file a claim recently and was greeted with an error and advised to call ricepoint.
I was told by ricepoint that:
1. the reason for the error was that there is an existing claim associated with my Car's VIN (i assume from the previous owner).
2. I am not eligible for any claims (not even the fix) because I purchased the car from a junk yard.
Has any one experienced the same? I doubt the ricepoint rep was correct as I was under the impression every eligible vehicle had to either be offered the buyback or at least the fix for those who do not qualify for the buyback.
If anyone can give me some information or help on who to call to confirm what ricepoint said is indeed true, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
car never had a salvage title. It had a clean title but marked unfit due to the damaged bumper/tailight. All I had to do is replace, tailight/bumper, get it insured and registered and back on the road. There was no need for an inspection to get the "rebuilt" title.does the car have a rebuilt title now?
thank you for the feedback! in that case I will just keep driving it!The Canadian settlement differs from the US settlement with respect to the treatment of salvage/rebuilt titles. I'm pretty sure you are out of luck. You can have the fix applied, but there will be no compensation for it and no extended warranty. Personally, I wouldn't bother in that situation.
