I "I have spoken with ServiceNSW who apologised for the error."
As I now have confirmation that Service NSW has made an error I took this email with me to Service NSW Mittagong to get something in writing to say that there was a mistake and that I was not the registered owner. Girl at the desk typed for about 20 minutes and produced a document that said that I lodged a notice of disposal 22/1/24. "That will be $25". "No I will not be paying that as it is Service NSW mistake and not mine". She then went to see her manager to see if he would waive the fee. He wouldn't waive the fee and said it was not their problem. I was told first that the information would have been from "NSW Office of Revenue" (Which I doubt is correct). Then I was told that it was the fault of Access Canberra when they accessed the information. (Which I also doubt is correct as it would be unlikely that data could be easily accessed between states) I expected the next excuse to be that it was caused by climate change or rising sea levels.
It looks like I will be contacting my local MP next week.
