How can someone get a parking ticket after the car has been sold?

My sister just got a notice in the mail from the City of Rehobeth Beach, DE. It was for 2 parking tickets from August 2007, and the tags on the ticket were the tags she had on her vehicle, a trailblazer. One problem though....that car was traded in by her on May of 07 for a VW Jetta GLI. She did not carry those tags on her new car, instead left the dealer with 30 day tags. She is trying to fight it now, but it is getting ready to go to collection. Anyone have this happen before?

This is why when you sell a vehicle - even to a dealer it is very important to retain the vehicle license plates.

You can fight this by taking the proof of sale to the court in question and challenging the charges, you will probably be assigned a hearing date at which you can present your proof before a judge or magistrate who can dismiss the charges.

did you change the tile of the vechile to the dealership with the DMV or did you ASsume the dealer would notify DMV about the change of ownership?

We had the same thing happen. Either someone stole the turned- in tags or tapped into the DMV system and altered plates to read her numbers. She needs to make copies of her sale receipts and the tag turn- in receipt and send them to the city of Rehobeth Beach by registered mail so she gets a return slip saying they received them. We had to do it twice in New York State before they finally dropped the charge. It might be wise to send copies to the Department of Motor Vehicles also. Persist in correcting this-- don't pay for someone else's criminal behavior.

I have seen this many times and it is the fault of the buyer and all she have to do is show proof by way of the selling of the vehicle to the dealership, she has nothing to worry about......

i know it possible for the last owner to get parking tickets if they didnt change the title of there last car, or is processing to be changed.
