So i brought a car from a guy who told me he was a trader/dealer.
Car was described as having no mechanical or electrical faults 2 days later car stopped dead wouldn't move. EGR valve had gone and also traction control system had faults logged in the ECU...
Took it along to seat got a bill for £2000
(cutting a long story short here)
Went back to the dealer/trader told me he wasn't a car trader and offered me £101 as compensation and told me nothing else i can do and he will not take the car back.
After issuing the claim form he made an offer of full refund including costs which i accepted... he never turned up...
he didn't reply to the directions questionnaire and was given a further 2 weeks... he still didn't respond.
today i got the judgement which orders him to pay £1963 and wrote to him requesting payment.. he NOW says after he got a copy of the judgement that he has written to the court requesting his defence be reinstated as it was struck out and the further trial directions to be issued.
I have transferred the case for high court enforcement and i have also applied to the courts for a charging order as he owns his property...
Me personally would find it highly unlikely that he would get his defence reinstated as he was given ample time and only when getting a letter from the court telling him he owes 2 grand does he then get his arse into gear... realistically what is going to happen now?

Further to the above, i have evidence of everything stated by the defendant with regard to his title as car dealer and also the fact he described the car as being mechanically and electrically faultless. Forgot to mention!
Oh and he has an appointed solicitor... His dad... lol he is a freelance solicitor for his dads firm... can't be very good he was convicted of perjury in 2012 whilst working at the same firm he's at now he lied to police and courts about serving documents in person to an individual.
