PPS
When you’re next in the market for a used car, be sure to buy an in-depth CarHistory report before you invest in a vehicle.
We employ only the best Government and industry data sources. Specifically: REVS, Vcheck, the Glasses Guide, the National Vehicle Information System and the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.
In order that we can more efficiently assess personal property securities (PPS), we will also utilise the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) when it is rolled out in January 2012. Based on the 2009 PPS Act, the PPSR reduces the existing 70 Commonwealth, State and Territory PPS Acts to just one.
The registers that will close as a result of the PPS reform are:
Commonwealth
- Australian Register of Ships
- ASIC - Register of Company Charges (including provisional charges)
- Fisheries Register
New South Wales
- Register of Encumbered Vehicles (REVS NSW)
- Security Interest of Goods Register
- Registers of charges for co-operatives and co-operative housing societies
Queensland
- Register of Encumbered Vehicles (REVS Qld)
- Register of Security Interests and Liens
- Register of Co-operative Charges
South Australia
- Vehicle Securities Register
- Bills of Sale Register, Stock Mortgages and Wool Liens Register and the Liens on Fruit Register
- Register of Co-operative Charges
Tasmania
- Register of Bills of Sale, Stock, Wool and Crop Mortgages and Co-operative Charges
- Register of Vehicle Security Interests
