Problem with a Used Car Dealer in Sheffield

[scousemouse 10]

I would never buy a car from a "pitch"   a lot of these people are co men and cowboys.  Take the money and run.     I  hope you have better luck  next time.

if they don't pay the CCJ in the 28 days (28 working days or 28 calendar days???) then don't mess around any further, upgrade the CCJ to a high court writ.

The Sheriffs have much more power to collect the money owed so you don't have to faf around.

 

Looks like a £60 court fee to the high court is what you pay, this will be claimed back from the debtor anyway.

they still have to have seizable assets to be successful, it looks like here we are dealing with "brothers" so its likely the assets are not in the named defendants name or company???

Have you read post 48, I dont think she would have a problem, and please try to be a little more optimistic.

yes read it and why wont she have a problem?? not a chance of recovering her money, would put money on it, they would have paid by now if they had any intention.

Sheriffs aren't fools. They'll have seen every trick tried in the book.

There is a chance of recovering the money it's just that some people will delay payment until the very last minute.  The people we are dealing with have previously been in prison for fraud  so I suppose them paying up depends very much on how well they want their reputation to be now.  Hopefully they might be wanting to turn themselves around and pay up.

In the nicest possible way, you did go to the bottom of the barrel for your car

Perhaps the information about these people going to prison has only come to the ops  attention after they took the course of action they took

A word of caution here.

 

Most dodgy car dealers trade from a rented pitch and offices (often a shipping container) and never re-register any of their vehicles until they are sold, therefore a bailiff can have as much power as they want but if there are literally no assets to seize then it is hard to recover the debt. Unless of course, they are stupid enough to arrive at work in their top of the range BMW or Range Rover the bailiffs will generally walk away empty handed.

 

Dodgy mechanics are easier to deal with as they usually have one or two pieces of expensive equipment that can be seized such as diagnostics machines  or specialist tools.

sorry but you really are kidding yourself, convicted fraudsters and you think they will be bothered about baliffs??? dont hold your breath.

The op has now proceeded on the legal path with this issue. Speculation and rhetoric and bickering won't add anything to her cause.

So i would politely like to close this thread.
