I sold a non running vehicle, as a non running vehicle, a project car and told the buyer what I bought the car for, how much I had spent, what had been replaced, and how much it will cost to repair. Following a ton of emails, i received a claim through the courts, here is his claim, its makes about as much sense as his emails. Any advice would be useful, thanks in advance:
His entry directly from the claim form, with my name and my wifes name edited out as xxxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
collected car and was told the engine had been rebuilt,sent to a specialist and put on a dyno to check everything was as factory spec,I paid on the understanding the car was rebuilt,checked by specialist,I contacted said specialist who has never heard of Mr xxxxxxx no record of the car and has explained they do not have a Dyno to test engine so could not have done the work,also Mr xxxxxxx told me he has paperwork and full service history,no paperwork at all and car was last MOT over 3 years ago,also the harness he said he replaced was broken,he never told me this when I contacted the firm who supplied said harness they explained they informed Mr xxxxxxxx the harness he bought had broken wires, Mr xxxxxxx has denied both these claims,I have proof in email sent from the garage that Mr xxxxxxxx informed me had checked engine and done Dyno check denying his claims,also multiple scratches to wing and bumper which Mr xxxxxxxx denied said there was only one scratch,the car was put on a transporter so I never noticed it until we were into the journey,I informed Mr xxxxxxx who denied there was any cratches which were obviously not fresh

So this is what I have been dealing with - this was cut and pasted from his claim form.
