Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

I have received a notice of lien and intent to auction from a towing company for a vessel that I sold 3 years ago which was apparently never re-titled by the buyer. The buyer abandoned the boat and the towing company removed it at the request of the property owner where the boat was sitting. After getting my name from the State as owner of the boat, the towing company wants me to pay fairly substantial towing and storage fees.
I don't want the boat, or particularly care what happens to it since I sold it long ago. In researching the towing company at Sunbiz.org, I found that the status of the corporation to be inactive and that an administrative dissolution for annual report was filed for the company in 2004. Does the company have any legal right to lien me if the notice was issued in the name of the dissolved company? Do I have any other recourse?

If you do not own it, you have no responsibility. You can advise the towing company, in writing.
