Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: Change of Keeper - Not Liable
Reference: [REFERENCE_NUMBER]
Vehicle Registration: [VEHICLE_REG]

I am writing to dispute my liability for the above matter.

I sold/transferred the above vehicle on [SALE_DATE] to:

Name: [BUYER_NAME]
Address: [BUYER_ADDRESS]

I was therefore not the registered keeper at the time of the alleged contravention and am not liable for any penalties.

I enclose copies of the following evidence:
- V5C/2 (new keeper supplement) showing date of sale
- [Any other evidence: receipt, messages, photos]

I notified DVLA of the sale on [date if applicable].

Please update your records and remove any penalties against me.

If you require the new keeper to pay, their details are provided above.

Yours faithfully,

[YOUR_NAME]
