I had a similar thing a few years ago only with the police and a speeding ticket.
Before me, the car was owned by my then-partner, who had just moved from the UK to California. I was to sell the car on her behalf, and the registered owner being in a different country is a really suspicious warning sign so we changed the ownership to me so I could sell it more easily.
A week later, I did sell it, and did all the relevant change-of-ownership paperwork again.
Six months later, the police sent me — not my partner, not the new owner — a speeding ticket. It took more than one go for me to prove I didn’t own the car.
