Ask seller for crime ref number.

huh?

harveybobbles is referring to the crime number for the van getting broken in to. I doubt very much it did anyway, the police didn't impound my car when it was broken in to and the van he was selling has since been taxed! I think he received a better offer for it.........

Can you physically visit his premises and not leave until you have your money.....

Just do the County court business , forget about everything else , claim for your expenses too , make sure they are reasonable .

First though, who is stated on the receipt... limited company, sole trader, ect?

If you do win at court. Which is likely. He might not turn up at which point you win by default but then he may not pay either then you have to go to the high court to get a writ for them to collect money or seize goods to sell and they put their fee on top it could turn into a very expensive £100 for this bloke

OP says it was a private sale. Makes suing the correct person easy.

Yes it's a private sale. I could turn up at his house but i don't think it's a good idea, I would probably lose my cool. I will go all the way with this, it's just so pathetic that it's over £100!!

Maybe you could check to see if it has been taxed, SORNed or scrapped on line. Then in a couple of weeks ask the DVLA for the registered keepers name and address. You might have reasonable grounds being the fact that the seller owes you money or defrauded you!!

It has been taxed. Post 13 states this. Getting the new registered keepers details would be an utter waste of time as it is nothing to do with them and the OP has the bad guys address already.
