Autoland Car Sale/Oldbury Cars Ltd - sold me a Pup Audi - refusing to accept short term right to return

[BankFodder]

No, you don't need to send a reply form.

I think that on your letter of claim you could add a sentence pointing out that during the period that you are without a car you may incur various expenses caused by them and that you will be looking to recover these as well in any court claim

[DG319]

I have again had zero response from the buisness since sending my last letter to them. 

 

I have now applied to court and have to wait for my application for help with fees first which should be within the next 5days.

 

Do I let the buisness know I have applied to court in hoping they may then refund me after knowing I was being serious and not just bluffing?

No. I wouldn't disclose that you are short of money. It demonstrates a weakness.

They will only start to take you seriously once they receive the court papers

this is an open forum. We provide lots of valuable information on all sorts of things here. Some people don't register and don't tell the stories but they still benefit from the information that others put up.

If we are dealing with a car seller who is causing problems to somebody who has started this thread – and presumably who has caused problems to you as well, then you can imagine that there are lots of other people affected and they need the information.

I'm sorry to say that simply sharing information privately is not helpful. We are a community and we all help each other in an open/transparent way.

Please put the information up here.

If you need any assistance with your own problem then start a new thread and we will be very pleased to help you as well on exactly the same basis.

Don't forget that we are all volunteers here. We have been around for 17 years – nobody gets charged anything. We don't buy data. We don't sell data.
Please enter into the spirit of the community and share what you've got.

[DG319]

Hi Steve, how would you like to share the information?

Did you manage to get your money back from the garage?

[honeybee13]

Just a reminder of the site rule that you signed up to.

3d) Offering to advise members or asking members for advice by PM or email without good reason - If it is felt that a subject is "sensitive" and would be better discussed off-forum, we ask that members contact a member of the site team BEFORE asking for contact details. This rule is in place to protect our members from claims touts, and also to ensure that any advice given is open to debate, qualification, and where necessary, correction.

very glad to see that you are taking assertive action.

Would you mind telling us what the arrangement is for paying the solicitor their fees? How much have they said that they will charge you? Did you have to pay any money down in advance?
When did you engage the solicitor and what have they done so far?

What arrangement have you got in terms of the solicitor's fees in the event that you succeed?

Why did you decide to appoint a solicitor? What difficulties did you envisage that would require the need of professional help?

Thank you

[steve 1]

I'm not paying any legal fee's to the solicitor as I have legal cover that covers me for consumer disputes

the solicitor is in the process of sending my credit card company and the garage a letter before legal action

i engaged solicitors because i could see thought the lies that i was being told by the garage

like DG319 the vehicle that i purchased is stood on the road

i haven't being able to use it

I've paid for road tax car insurance just for the car to be standing still  

[BankFodder]

Thank you. So the solicitor's fees are being covered by insurance.

I wonder how much it would cost if you had to pay for it yourself and what might be the cost liability if the case was lost or if a judgement couldn't be enforced.

Has a letter of claim been sent yet? When is it proposed that the court claim will be commenced?

[DG319]

Just a quick little update, my court claim forms have now been sent to Autoland Car Sales so now just waiting for them to defend themselves they have until 17th July. 

 

Thank you

HI DG319

been advised by credit card company Autoland cars sale are not communicating with them 

[DG319]

Hi Steve,

 

Oh no, what does that mean for you? I hope you get your money.

 

I'm just reading further online with the MCOL process and doesn't look likely that I'll get my money back without spending more thousands that I just can't afford

[BankFodder]

Why £thousands?

[dx100uk]

steve1 case will be totally different to yours, he's got section 75 backup, dunno why he gotta a sols involved when the CCA is behind him.

 

as for yours...eh? its small claims court, does not cost £1000's!! thats why its called small claims. <£200 for the whole lot i expect and when you win the fleecers pay your court fees as well anyway......

[DG319]

So far its cost £455 for court fees, then there's another fee to ask the court to collect the money, bailiffs have a limit of £600-£5000 but mine is £6249 and it says the courts can't guarantee on getting the money back.

 

All under the 'enforce a judgement' on the make a MoneyClaim on gov site.

[dx100uk]

High Court HCEO's dont have a limit, use them. cross courts.

only county court bailiffs have a limit...

and the bailiff add their fees charged you to the sum you are after from the defendant. so you get everything back if you win.
