Locked. Will unlock at the request of buyer or seller if further information is required here. I believe the two posts give a fair view on the current situation and I ask either party to contact me to add anything to this topic in future, such as the successful refund etc.

Hi there.

So a month has passed..........

The deadline is today and ive had contact from the buyer. Unfortunately no contact or refund as been made upto this point.

I invite Beej123 and Carlzilla (Midlands Mini Clinic) to contact me with regards to this situation and resolving it for the benefit of both parties involved.

This topic remains locked until further notice.

Update / Edit on 07.06.12 @ 18.43pm

Recieved communcation from midlands mini clinic. Information discussed with TMF team. TMF Team decision to revoke trader status until this issue is satisfactorily resolved. We take all trading issues on TMF seriously and hope to help communicate between both parties to help resolve this situation where possible, although it appears to be steering towards a legal case.

Update from midlands mini clinic (beej123)

Our intention is to refund the customer therefor the car and any other parts purchased remain our property to do with as we wish. The court case is not about whether to refund or not, it's much more complicated than that. A refund will take place.

Update on this case:

The court case has finally be judged and the Midlands Mini Clinic has been ordered by the Court to refund the buyer (i.e. me). The amount of the refund (including compensations, court costs, etc.) is still to be defined by the Court

Expect if I am advised the result of the court case cannot be made public (& of course if the admin team agrees), I will update this post with more details of the judgment once it is available - this is an unbiased third party view on this unfortunate story.

For all the talks of the Midlands Mini Clinic about "complicated court case", I must point out that they did not filled any defence in Court and never replied to any solicitor letter to try justify why they failed to deliver the good promised and refund the customer (original payment was done in February of this year!) once it was obvious they could not keep the committment they signed for.

Topic relocked to keep this factual and relevant.

Further to Mannake's post above, the court have decided the amount to be repaid by the owners of Midlands Mini Clinic. We suspect it will take afew weeks for the solicitors to do there thing and begin the process of recovering the money by any means possible.

Topic updated to keep things relevant and factual.
