As I understand it, a lot of people are now using this company.
Whether the price you get is a good one I have no experience,
but as a motor trader, I would have thought they are under some
legal obligations when buying-in a car to sell-on.

It's still the seller's responsibility to send the V5/3 to DVLA
(or online) to notify the sale.

As I understand it, the issue will be that WBAC are middle men
and never actually register as owners at DVLA. The V5C would be
passed to the eventual buyers who would be trusted to fill it
out. It's a good idea to retain the appropriate section of the
V5C and go on the DVLA website and update it.
On the one hand the fine for not updating the DVLA can be up to
£1000...
On the other it's We buy any car, so you will have a proper
printed invoice you can use to show the car was sold. Maybe they
emailed you a pdf copy you could just attach to the appeal?
Would it be a good move to appeal, based on the fact OP sold
their car, providing a copy of the invoice as evidence? Don't
just send them bank transactions, especially not a just
screenshot from a banking app, they need names and addresses.

OP, we're still waiting for a timeline because as you sold your
vehicle more than 6 months ago, some of the penalty charges(and
private parking charges for all we know) could well be with
bailiffs, in which case you'd be dealing with a different
procedure.
Contraventions, dates, latest docs in each case i.e. name of doc
and date of issue, and from which authority(ies)/private parking
companies?
