Help, Garage refusing to pay up

Options
Hi,New to this so dont know if this is allowed.
I purchased a used car in nov 2010 for £5000 andf the gear box went after 4 weeks,the garage refused to repair at their expense qouting out of warranty,I had to have the repair done at my expense and they had the car for 3 months to fix it,after i had it back 2 weeks the turbo packed in and I sent a letter quoting the sale of good act whihc they failed to respond to.
I have since taken them to court to the point they have not responded and I have issued a warrant where the court has returned a letter stating they attended the address but they were told the company is no longer there.
I know it was using 2 names at the time of sale as they had an internet name and building name which is all one company but they deny this is the case.
I am woundering how it is possible to trace the company to see who the registered owner/director was so I can chase them rather than the company but I am at a loss?:(

    Yes, very easy to do online. You can also get the latest accounts and see if the company had any money when it last did its returns
