    Did you complete the transfer online?  Do you have proof of the date of transfer?

    Failing that, a bill of sale/receipt for payment?  Proof of a vehicle tax refund or cancellation of insurance?

    Not that this matters at this point, use the standard LBC response from the Newbies thread, but add a line that tells them you sold the vehicle on <date>, prior to the issue of the charge.

    If you can, provide the new owner's name and address.

    But there's only one page of the NEWBIES thread and it's where my signature tells you.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
    Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD

    This is good, send that evidence with your reply. As neither keeper nor driver you have no liability.  DCB Legal will try to claim that because your name was retrieved from the DVLA you are liable but that's obviously not true.
