Round and Round I Go

I'm about to go crazy....

When i moved to Louisiana from Pennsylvania i tried to get my registration transfered over, then i didn't have the money to do it so i put it off.

the reason i didn't do it when i had the money at first was because i was missing a piece of paper.  The piece of paper that says i paid my initial sales tax on my vehicle when i registered it in the first place.

When i bought my car, i lived in PA, but i bought my car in OH, and then registered it and paid the taxes in PA.  so purchase paperwork and sales tax paperwork were not together.  I can't find my sales tax paper.

I emailed the Pennsylvania department of transportation (PennDOT),  they are bound by law to not disclose sale tax information so i was redirected to the department of revenue.  Who told me i need to contact penndot.  AAAAHHHHHH

I explained to the nice, clueless,woman that they said they were NOT ALLOWED to help me, and that they (penndot) had given me their information.  So she transfered me to an agent. and I left a message on his voicemail....

He called me back "i'm not sure why they directed you to me... I deal with estate taxes and wills... but here is the number to the department of motor vehicle sales tax"

REALLY?!?  It took three people before they figured out that THAT might be who i need to contact?  i would think PennDOT would know of the existance of that department, thankfully the man at the department of revenue in the office of estate taxes knew that my question regarding proof of my motor vehicle sales tax paid should be directed to the department of motor vehicle sales tax... WOW what a concept!!!

At least i have a direction to go in now
