I sold my old car about a year ago for �50, it was unroadworthy, no mot or tax and was parked on private land. It was a scrap dealer who had come knocking on the door a couple of times who I sold it to. We both filled in the relevant parts of the reg document he took his bit away and I posted mine to the DVLA. I have now received a failure to relicense vehicle letter from DVLA enforcement, saying I have to pay penalty if the vehicle does not have a valid tax disc or declared SORN. I can't remember the persons name who I sold it to now. Am I still liable for this, and can I write to the DVLA basically what I have told you. On the reply note I have from them I have to put who I sold it to and the date.Since selling it I don't live at the address the car was registered to, but luckily the people living there passed the mail on to me. thanks for any help

Records are mishandled, lost, denied (all the things you'd expect from a government run agency).
Get on the phone to them and don't hang up until they sort it. They sit there and claim that they don't make mistakes but they do and are usually big ones.
Good luck
