Sold a car privately - COURT ACTION

Car breaks down. Bloke tells wife. Wife says get your money back. Bloke says "Don't be ridiculous, we've put a few thousand miles on it and it was a bit of a shed in the first place. Wife says "Well if you won't take him to court I will". Bloke thinks "This'll be a laugh".

It could be. Or maybe they're separated but he had to buy a car for the daughter and wasnt too choosy and hence his lack of interest in the first place - he always knew they car was for someone else?

Was that the bloke with the (not particularly) French breads, perchance? And not a lot of space in his boot?

I've been 'told off' for DPA-type stuff on here.

A cyclist-hating hypocrite from the New Forest was quite vocal in opposing an organised cycling event in the National Park. Not of itself worthy of any note. Apart from the fact that she was also the owner of a commercial website and she earned money from carrying adverts on her site for a large number of local bike hire and cycle-touring firms.

She complained to PH when I jokingly threatened to ride my bicycle in circles around her house, and linked to a photograph (on Google streetview) of a liveried car advertising her website parked outside said house). Her complaint was that I'd revealed her home address. Only I hadn't. I'd cropped the detail from the Streetview screenshot, and she'd published her own address as the registered address of the website business, on her own site itself.

I was actually worried when I got an email form the moderator, but he laughed it off as "yet another nutter", deleted my post to keep her happy, and told me to worry no more. Her website, after all, was a "matter of self-published public record". In the end she changed the registered address on the website, rather than actually address my point about her two-faced hypocrisy regarding taking money to advertise some of the New Forest's many cycle-friendly tourism businesses, whilst simultaneously using some frankly disturbing rhetoric against organised events in particular, and cyclists in general, on another outlet. Come to think of it, I wonder if she's bought a used car recently and found she's not happy with it...

Surprised the mod even stepped in on her behalf.

I got doxxed on another forum, the posted my full name and home address (linked via companies house) because they didn't like my opinion about something. I didn't complain, I just made some changes. The joys of directors service addresses. Then came the inevitable "ha ha he only has £2k in the bank" again from CH. Didn't report that either, now I register companies off shore.

Now I just get the "you must be a corporation tax dodging c*** because you register off shore" no, that's because of nosey wagecells.

Either way it is a bit stty posting a SS of her home address because you don't like her opinion surely? Business is business not a reflection of personal attitude. And even though technically you didn't reveal her address DIRECTLY it could actually be seen as a veiled threat by the police especially if someone killed her afterwards.

Yep, because that's what we are kmown for on PH, track down people who have offended fellow members and kill them hammer sausages into their lawns

That's me learnt, I had honestly never heard of it! Still curious about this 'wagecell' business, is it a regional thing?

It goes back a lot earlier than 2013, more like 2003. I've also noticed that 'nuke them from outer space' doesn't crop up much these days.

VBRJ seems to have fallen out of the popular lexicon too

Oh really? Interesting, I've not been around that long, so this is the earliest I've seen.

Well i skimmed this a bit but helped pass my lunch break, £400 for her 10mins in court to be thrown out.....ouch but right decision in the end for the OP

I like her thinking. I bought a can of beans from Tesco. They disappointed me. I shall sue Asda. Judge says, "Eh?"

Not a comparable situation. It would have to be your brother who bought the beans.

Always wondered about the origins of the PH frozen sausage thing. That thread is pure, distilled PH at its absolute finest.
