Sold Car. New Owner Racked Up Tickets. My Tax Refund Is Garnished

Hello all,

I am not sure where to start so hopefully you guys can help me out.

Location: CA

I sold a car back in 2024 to the dealership for an upgrade. In 2025, said car racked up parking tickets, toll violations, etc. All those bills were sent to my address. I confirmed with DMV that the car is NOT registered in my name. I have submitted multiple times the transfer and release of liability. (to the DMV, parking agencies, toll agencies, everyone that gave me a bill) I confirmed the receipt with the dealership that says the exact date I sold the car.

Over the course of a year, I have received multiple bills. It was handed over to a debt collector (whom I also submitted paperwork too) In Sept, I was told they were going to start garnishing wages. It never happened, but now, I just received my tax refund, or lack there of. They officially took it all from there.

Now my question is where do I go from here? Do I take someone to small claims? Whom? How do I get my money back?

Any help is appreciated. I've already contacted HR Block who started a process with Bureau of Fiscal Services, but I feel like I'm wasting so much time and effort for something that should never have happened
