I was talking to my coworker and I said "Why do they ask for an old transaction?" It did not sound right to me. If it's present tense - Why do..., and if it's past tense- Why did... The last one sounded right, but not sure about the first one.
Thank you CalifJim.

Exactly. "Why do ..." should sound wrong to you, and it did. That's good.
