It seems very unlikely to me this was a pre-planned scam. It's a very long winded and uncertain means of scamming someone.
Far more likely this is someone with an unhinged perception of reality who feels genuinely hard done by in the circumstances.
Or being pragmatic... just ill informed as to their rights... and then badly advised as to what those rights might be, and how redress might be sought... The unhinged is more from the advisor than anything, especially if they are also the one who bought the car without doing their due diligence.Far more likely this is someone with an unhinged perception of reality who feels genuinely hard done by in the circumstances.

So chaps, ITS THE OP!!!
I went in, literally there for 10 minutes and case dismissed!!!! Walked out relieved!
I didnt even get to have a say as the judge focused on the simple fact that she had no contract of law, she gave a letter to the judge which read the money was hers and thats why she was claiming it back however the judge stated the actual buyer is not in court so "I simply don't know what your doing here" and on that basis its dismissed. The ACTUAL claimant is welcome to reapply however judge didn't think it was best as he wasn't present to show any interest attending court to begin with.
She then argued and said she wants him to look into breach of data protection? Judge stated, its very technical and although she can take some course of action its not something which he would recommend due to being too technical and dropped that side of the claim too. Now I assume she's seen this post but looking back I haven't breached any of this anyway, name etc is data protection surely as it was to see her history with the courts etc.
I counter claimed for 2 days off work and judge rewarded 2hrs pay (for hearing only) so £20, paid for my parking
Case aside, I would like to thank you all for your support and helping me remain calm throughout. Of course will share my experiences with others going through a similar phase as I know how stressful it can be... Respect to all of you!!
Hate to say I told you so...I went in, literally there for 10 minutes and case dismissed!!!! Walked out relieved!

Couple of questions...
1. What was the breach of the DPA about?
2. There COULD possibly be a case to answer if the actual buyer can be arsed to go through with it all...?
She claims that I have let her name out on this thread and email address which I have gone back on and cant see anything specific apart from her name however I have today spoken with CAB and they have told me there is nothing to worry about as its open information plus it was done with the intention of finding out whether she had any previous history such cases.1. What was the breach of the DPA about?
2. There COULD possibly be a case to answer if the actual buyer can be arsed to go through with it all...?
When the judge asked me for the counter claim and I was awarded the £20 I did say I will happily drop the £20 if shes forgets this whole thing and then she intervened stating I have disclosed her email and name etc to which then the judge told her to be quiet as I was being helpful and she needs to hear me out, that in itself was VERY satisfying!
If she takes me to court again for DPA then so be it, the stage fright I had has now gone and will be confident from here on, for those of you asking the fees are as follows:-
£70 to apply for a case
£170 for hearing
£130 garage invoice payment
£20 loss of earnings

t and threw tables and chairs everywhere?Was the car parked outside the court?
Excellent result OP.
Fair play to you for sticking to your principles and not caving like many on here would have.
There were a few of us who called the outcome well in advance and you clearly took our advice on board.
As for the rest of you who said it could go either way and were nit picking or splitting hairs , I really hope none of you ever come up against anything remotely mentally or emotionally taxing in your lives. There was some truly shocking advice handed out here.
The people that suggested mediation, Jesus wept!
Having had my little Alan Partridge moment and with all that said, there is a possibility that the bad advice was planted by the claimant, if as it turns out he or she was reading this forum. I honestly think that's giving them too much credit however and it is just a case of some of the users here being idiots.
Well done again OP, you have given us concrete proof (as far as one can) of a seller winning in court, something that the "oh be careful" merchants can not provide for a seller losing.

Having come out of a deep stasis hibernation, I would like to ask OP upon finally meeting his litigant in person, would he take her on a date up the OXO Tower? I don't think the £20 would get you much beyond an amuse-bouche. But it's best to be civil and let bygones be bygones in matters like civil litigation.
