Frazbomb 3 Posted March 17, 2019 Just, to add. We also won a case a few month ago. Judge seemed like a sensible fella, and it would seem he was. This was our first court case (been trading 15 years) and if I'm honest I didn't find it too bad. I certainly won't be afraid or taking it all the way again.

Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted September 16, 2019 ok so we had our 3 hours in court and |Lost as expected, but at least its over now, she was in small claims with a £9999 claim and judge awarded £2975 I learned a lot from the process and how it all works, If it happened again i would defend myself as i can ask clever questions like my solicitor too Question, While of course i am committed to pay this sum is there anything i can do to split it into monthly payments sofen the blow ??is this discretion of court or the plaintiff ?? so nil deals for September and a £2975 hole in the bank account, VAT qtr in 14 days time, Christmas around the corner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TangoVictor32 90 Posted September 16, 2019 Dont give us exact figures round it ie just shy of £3k Was it for the repairs or compensation for plaintiff not having access to the car and travel costs? And do they have to return the item? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a few days you’ll receive Form N24 confirming judgement with the payment due date (which will be 14 days from the date of the court hearing). After that the claimant is free to instigate whatever legal action they want and it will subsequently be added to your bill. If they have any sense they’ll take the High Court route & send in enforcers unannounced- it’ll take months but you’ll end up being raped. A genuine piece of advice - instead of making a twat of yourself dragging it out, pay it & put it all behind you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tv bailiff shows do show a lot of car dealers...and cars do get clamped or removed... You might end up losing a few more cars to get the £3k plus additional costs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad you got it sorted and she didn't get the ridiculous amount she claimed for, and now you can tick off being taken to court in your Motor Dealers eye spy book!! I lost my first and only case in court last week too, so I feel your pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
