  • Won Court Claim Case - Company Dissolved but Still Trading

    Hi everyone, I have a particularly complex case (at least to me lol) which I need help with.

    I purchased a used car which was advertised with incorrect mileage, after ages of trying to sort it out with the car dealership i took them to court and won. I thought that would be the end of it but no.

    When the court issued the judgement to the dealership, the letter was returned by the dealership to the court without being opened and with a note saying "no longer trading - return to sender".

    I checked on company house and the company in question has dissolved, however the company is actually still very much up and running, they are still selling cars, they still have the same website, email address, address etc everything is the same, they still have the same name to the public and their stock of cars is exactly the same as it was before. So the company in reality has not dissolved at all. They have only done this to try and get out of paying what the court ordered them to pay.

    Based on the little bit of research I did today i believe that the company should have informed me that they were dissolving, and that I could object to this. Small claims cases are even mentioned on the gov website as to why someone might object to the dissolving of the company. But if this is true and they did not tell me where do i go from here.

    I'm not versed in law but i suspect that a company cannot simply wash away all liability this way I just don't know what steps i can take next to enforce the court judgement. I'm literally at a dead end in my knowledge so any help would be appreciated.
