liamgdr Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hopefully someone can help me with this situation, I think it may be too old to do anything though. 5 years ago I bought my first car from a motor trader in Bradford. Everything looked good at first, however when I got home I found that although the radio worked it didn't detect cd's, once I found this was a £250 fix I contacted the dealer I bought it from and he said bring it down on the weekend and he would replace the cd player. After a 65 mile one way journey he point blank refused to fix it and said I never spoke to him. Obviously fuming I had the car checked at a local garage and found around £500 of other problems, I sent him letters/emails, never received anything back, eventually we ended up in court. I won £815 (July 2010), however the business wasn't a LTD company and the judgment was made against an individual person, the person who was in court was the guy who sold me the car although he only bought the company 1 month prior to the court hearing and refused to acknowledge he had ever worked there prior to buying it or knew who I was. Basically as soon as they knew I was taking them to court they transferred the business to a family member/friend, I tried chasing this at the time but I never got anywhere, I moved house changed jobs etc and forgot about the whole thing until today when I found the 'General form of Judgment' from Bradford County Court for £815. Is there anything that can be done with this, or should I let it go? Thanks, Liam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamgdr Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just found the company. http://www.tongparkcarsleeds.co.uk Now based in Leeds, as they are now a LTD company I can't chase them, I only have a name Mr A S Elahi who is the former registered owner, I can't find any link between them using google, I don't even have an address for him.

WhackyWill Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Sell it on to a Debt Collecting Agency, and let them chase him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not to bothered about the £850 but it seems a shame to let it go, I'll have a look at collection agencies, would they be interested though?

Ekona Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 They may buy the debt for £50 or so. Better than a kick in the arse, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
