EMC car sales of Bagshot - court claim issued

[BankFodder]

I'm afraid that the County Court is notoriously under resourced – and hugely inefficient. Generally speaking a very friendly bunch but you have to keep an eye on them and sheepdog them.

If you have been waiting since January then I suggest that you contact them by telephone and find out what is going on. Don't be surprised if they say that they have written to you – you haven't received it – or that the documents are lost.

I'm afraid that you must keep on the case with the County Court system.

Also, I'm extremely surprised that there is nothing about this company – in their various identities on trust pilot. I would suggest that anybody starts beginning trustpilot threads on these companies – on all three identities. In other words start a trustpilot thread and simply copy your review from one to the other to the other. You need to start letting people know. Also I suggest that you start doing the same thing for Google reviews

[BankFodder]

All the more reason to keep onto them. We are halfway through March – and am afraid that you will have to just be very persistent. Believe me, if you don't keep in control of this, you will simply become a victim of the County Court inefficiency.

Then there companies and their names should be plastered all over the Internet in all the review sites. They aren't. Why not?

Is there a Facebook page? One should be started

They said they were doing renovations and that the car i had seen on the website I could still buy and was given the name Gabriel at Chobham Central  there sister trading premise.....

Yes, but telephoning them without recording the call is not going to get you very far. People should read our customer services guide and implement the advice there and then have these phone calls. You need these recordings as evidence

[BankFodder]

Also, although it's a nuisance – I suggest that you post a callout to all of these threads

And any other relevant threads with a link to your thread so that other people see what's happening and maybe will add to the reviews.

Maybe you could start reviews and a Facebook page and then post the link out to the owners of all these other threads.

Start of another Facebook page – use the name of the company – and prefix it with "the truth about them".. Then start posting stories and also links to this forum particularly to this and the other threads.

You need to bring this to a head somehow. Also it should be reported to citizens advice which may eventually (very eventually) trickle through to trading standards.

It is clear that there is something very nasty going on here and people are getting ripped off

Don't worry about a Google review affecting your court claim. It's impossible.

You should put up reviews you can and attract as much attention as you can. All be very helpful would be to get into direct contact with people and get their statements. That would be very difficult but it would be an excellent way to go because that kind of evidence will really sway a judge a great deal. If you got a damning judgement from a judge then you might actually get trading standards to listen.

I'm sorry that you are in a difficult parenting situation. These people who operate these cons don't care about the disruption they cause to other people's lives but I'm afraid that it is the people with energy and persistence who can do something about it. Most people just give up. Congratulations on the energy you are showing here

[BankFodder]

That sounds very interesting – if you have the skills for that. We would be interested in knowing more and maybe supporting you in some way although we have very limited financial resources.

Maybe you could contact me directly and in confidence on our admin email address.

Meanwhile, here's a new Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/133249464788808/

Best of luck with your hearing. I'll let you message on Facebook – but once again, take lots of notes if you can and is useful to have somebody with you who can be a note taker while you deal with concentrating on the arguments of the case.

I think you're doing wonderfully well and I hope it's not too much of a burden doing it so much on your own.

[BankFodder]

Brilliant summary. Very helpful thank you

[BankFodder]

I expect that they're not bothered without a CCJ as evidence
