Hello,
I am from overseas and spent ~7 months on a WHV in Australia. During my stay I bought a car and registered it on my name using the adress of my employer (in Victoria).
I sold the car on 12th of April 2016 to an Australian citizen and left the country on the same day. I do have a contract (Application for Transfer of registration) signed by both parties (Including his Victorian drivers license number and adress). The buyer promised me to change the rego to his name as soon as possible. The rego was valid until October 28th 2016.
He apparently did not change the rego and used various toll roads without paying. The toll notices got sent to my former employer who threw them away (too many letters).
Therfore I do not know exactly where and how many fines I have in total, neither do I have toll notice numbers.
I managed to get a list of fines at "Transurban" and "M5 Motorway", the amount exceeds 1000$. There are 3 penalty notices issued by M5 Motorway.
I really appreciate any kind of answer!

- Is there a central toll fine register to find out about all outstanding fines?
- What are the consequences of a penalty notice?
- Is there anything I can do to get rid of my fines and make him responsible?
I really appreciate any kind of answer!
