Answer

What should I do in Mallorca if old car fines are still registered in my name?

If fines keep arriving after a vehicle has been sold, the ownership transfer may not have been completed properly. It is important to keep the sale contract, handover documents, and any proof that the car changed hands. In Mallorca, sorting out the paperwork quickly can prevent fines and extra costs from following the wrong person.
