New parking charge from Wokingham Council. I'm unsure where to go from here. 100% I should have transferred the documents already though.. PCN.pdf

Yes. Their response after me sending them a screenshot of their 199k assets: "This info is not up to date and is not hard fact that there are assets. The burden lies on us and we will provide all the docs. To be honest, the best that can be done is to purchase for £1750 and collect the car. If you disagree, please instruct the bailiff and we will automatically withdraw any future offers. This amount will come from a third party and is subject to a signed agreement between us. Yours faithfully, Mikael Shamir" Show more

Well, I have my doubts that Kheloufi is real, although the Debt Agency found an address for him from around a year ago. I've thought of employing a different agency, but have my concerns that they'll uncover anything extra. Just yesterday, I had an offer of £1750 from CMD via email. Mickel Shamir was the person offering. This was after an email I sent last week asking why I hadn't received my 5k, and threatining to change the judgement name to CMD. I have not responded to that offer, as I believe we have some positive forward motion going on here with us all.

All, I’ll summarise my situation as best as I can: 03/03/19: Collected car from EMC Car Sales. Gearbox issues within 50 miles or so 04/03/19: Took car to local garage. Advised to change gearbox oil as first possible remedy. 05 -06/03/19: Autobox oil changed. No difference. Other major problems found. Garage supplies an engineers report advising against driving the car. Wrote formal Right to Reject email to CMD stating displeasure with the vehicle. 07/03/19: Supplier responds asking for casualty report from gearbox specialist. I supply the one from my local garage. 08/03/19: Supplier demands a report from gearbox specialist. 19/03/19: I've had the car checked by an Automatic Gearbox Specialist, and they have confirmed the gearbox will need a £3000 rebuild after diagnosis. 22/03/19: Noted the dealer sold me the car with a "Plan 4" warranty. After having contacted the warranty company, I've had it confirmed that the car is only eligible for a "Plan 3" warranty, which covers far less obviously. 25/03/19: Quote for repair from a Gearbox Specialist sent. £3000 potential bill. Also sent on the same date the following to them: 26/03/19: Received a letter back offering £2250 for the car. They suggested that their own engineers deemed the car to be of sound quality when it left the dealership. Notification of commencement of court action sent. Early April: Court action commenced via MCOL website. 17/05/19: Local court called for an update, as I'd heard nothing for 5 weeks or so. This is a copy of the mail that I just sent to the local court upon their request.. Judge sets a court date of mid August, as he wants to see how to proceed in light of the "mystery" discontinuation form. August 19’: Court visit to find out how to deal with N.O.D. Judge accepted I did not fill it in. Saw N.O.D, 100% not my signature. Surprised no changes were brought forward for this obvious attempted forgery. Court date set for 28th November. 31/10/19: I completed a N244 change request form and sent it to the court. This was necessary as: A. EMC are not a limited company B. EMC have stopped trading The court have accepted my request, so the case is now against the parent company. The court and CROWN MOTOR DIRECT LTD now have all the documentation that I will personally present in court on 29th. The defendants refused mediation. 30/I1/19: Case won in my favour. Decided after an hour of court. Only myself and the judge were present. The money claim is against the owner of EMC, which the judge changed there and then. NAJJEEM KHELOUFI. The judge was saying that the EMC paperwork does not really mention CMD, so better to go after the owner. ( Hindsight suggests CMD would have been better for the money claim ). January 2020: Debt Collection Bailiffs employed to find Nadjeem Kheloufi. Ongoing to date. Several findings have comeback to me so far, but no current address as yet. 14/08/20: 2 x requests send to the court today: Judges Comments and copies of all correspondence relating to my case. Have also sent a request for SAR details to the Data Access address on the Government webpage. The hope is that the N.O.D form will get to me in a few days, and I’d be able to send this to the person with court case next week. ( week 34 ). Now considering changing name on CCJ to Crown Motor Direct, but will wait a while to see what comes back. That’s it so far. I’ll update when I receive any information back.

Hi everyone, Please excuse my lack of updates. Have been pretty busy on overseas deployment. Here's where I am at... The court found in favour of me back in November. From initially claiming against EMC, and then changing it to CMD, the judge noted that he had received a defence letter from one NADJEEM KHELOUFI. This was the director of EMC at the time. The judge advised that the claim should be against the formentioned, as EMC didn't exist at that point. Long story short.. I have a collection agency trying to trace NADJEEM KHELOUFI. I await positive findings, but do not expect any.

The owner himself. He sent a defence in, but it was a 1 page fairly poor effort full of half truths and lies. The judge was saying that the EMC paperwork does not really mention CMD, so better to go after the owner. He was very, very helpful and 100% behind me. Now to find this elusive owner. I have all of his details so the challenge is on.

I won my case. Decided after an hour of court. Only myself and the judge were present. The money claim is against the owner of EMC, which the judge changed there and then. I'm imagining that this is going to cause me a whole new set of problems, seeing as how EMC are not trading anymore. So although the main battle is won, I still have this carry on to deal with. Let's see what happens over the next few weeks. if they had just accepted my right to reject, it would have saved me a ton money and time. They're are also having to pay much more to me than the purchase price of the car, so they're out of pocket too. EMC, over to you to do the right thing. This will not just go away, and I will get what's owed to me..

I've only escalated my case to the CAB. To be honest, I've not had time to approach any other body with my complaint, such has been the complexity of the case so far. Add in the fact that I work in Helsinki most of the time, and when in Scotland, I have a 14 hour round trip to court, it means that the whole horrid episode has been altogether mentally draining. I really hope the 29th brings some closure, as I'm pretty much done with it all now.

2 weeks tomorrow.

I think I'm the first on here to get as far as getting a court date claiming against CMD.

That's why I changed the name on my claim to CROWN MOTOR DIRECT LTD. It cost me £100 to do. I've a few hundred to add to the final bill yet. Roll on end November..

Everything was paid yesterday. The courts have all the forms and witness statements already.

You're right. I used the incorrect wording, so apologies for the confusion. I've had no email correspondence from them since end of March. I did fill my own email address in on the N180. I can't remember if I added their own email address in though. The form is at home in Scotland, and I'm in Finland right now.

The court have the Autotrader add already bud., but I'll be taking it to court as part of my defence package.

I think Noel's surname is Quinn, not Quill. This was the chap that I had my transaction with. Looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks Mr Quinn..
