Try using hairspray (laquer); it works on leather suites!

Ballpoint ink is alcohol based so try meths first. Failing that, acetone will clean the dirtiest vinyl but be careful; it does so by dissolving a layer off the surface. I've never tried it but nail varnish remover might also do this.

Milk always works.
