Sold car privately - Now told the car was misdescribed

MariusAdam

@DoaM I had a look. I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to look for though. It is all regarding parking tickets

I clicked the link you posted previously and could only find info on parking tickets. I wasn't sure how this helped... Unless I missed something?!?!

MariusAdam, that sounds a little "wordy" with some typos in places! In the first section, you should mention in part 3 that you also drove the car on a daily basis with no issues. Section 4, only one 's' on misdescribed and I think it is all one word. In the last section, Part 2, I would also mention it was the first time you were made aware the car had previously been written off.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking that it sound a little wordy. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to skim from it though. I did however add your points and corrected the typos

It’s a case of someone deciding who is correct. I can understand what has been written and what your defence is, but it is a very wordy way of stating it. It almost comes across as if you are using ‘big clever words’ to blind the attacker who might not understand some of what you have written.

I am no expert though... I would have personally phrased it using more everyday language for your average Joe to understand.

I understand where you coming from. I did initially write something shorted using my own words, however when I asked for feedback from an expert I was told:  " This is a court of law and not morals or opinions, so the court will look at the law and consider whether you've breached it. If I were you, I would strip out any opinions and keep it strictly to facts and evidence. "

I had already stated that the FAQ was geared towards parking tickets. I also stated that the section on Defending Court Claims (i.e. the process to follow) applies to defending all small claims. See the 2nd post in that FAQ.

So, where to start dealing with your claim?
