Not that hard;
"one year community order and ordered him to carry out 70 hours of unpaid worked.

He ordered Hayat to pay £2,000 towards the council's costs before July 2017 adding that he would have to take it from the home he owned with his brother"

Charges Only relate to clocking, not any of the misrepresentation and covering up of known faults.
Handy how he decides to resign as soon as he gets caught so his brief can plead poverty and clemency of the court.
70 hours unpaid work is far less than many of his customers have had to do repairing a van he sold them.

It is amazing, and sad, how even the facts about clocking could be twisted to defend the obvious rogue.

Paper says the company sold 200-300 vehicles per year. That's going some! Ouch.

Yet I can find neither the (ex) director's name Mudassar Hayat nor the company ALT South West in a search of Companies House. I must be missing something!

Hi,

Sounds to me that the case was badly researched and poorly presented. No mention of the(documented) threats he made to a customer who dared to complain or at least one vehicle sold in a dangerous condition, but with a new MOT. No doubt he will continue with another collection of aliases, but one day he will do it to somebody who has friends in low places and it will hurt.

hi
I was one of the 6 people involved who purchased a Bongo from Hayat at ATL in Bristol. I was advise by the Fair Trading Officer of Bristol City Council only two days before the court case was to be held and had no chance of attending at such short notice travelling down from Hereford.
In my case my odometer had been wound back 30,000 KM (+- 19500 Miles) according to Fair Trading on info received from DVLA.

On finding this out immediately completely serviced Bongo change timing belt all hoses and thermostat and a good going over and to date it has run absolutely fine. advised verbally timing belt had only done 15000 KM but with these guys to risky to take a chance so changed.

Reading the press release, think Hayat and his brother had a very good lawyer and one can read right through it never would have sold that many vehicles in a year.
2000 pound and community work not nearly enough and what annoys me is that for us 6 consumers mentioned in the court case no one gets any compensation we just have to accept it and move on as if nothing happened.

Roll on summer and lets get Bongoing again

Being that he has been convicted, could you and/not the others not start an action against him for compensation?

Hi,

It would be well worthwhile contacting the groups on Facebook - there are people on there who have got caught who don't appear on this forum.

I was one who walked away after looking at one of his rustbuckets, which somebody later bought on eBay but that would have been over 5 years ago.

Hope the scumbag eventually gets his just desserts

Please feel free to post my info on social media as I don't do that Face book stuff. Let's stop good foke being conned by this gang.

I am also looking for information of the court proceedings.One thing I am looking at is was the representation or mis - representation of selling between 200 and 300 vehicles a year said under oath as I can't find anything on company's house website for either business or tax returns I'm sure HMRC will be interested in this

Land registry would tell you more about who owns the properties for 3.00 quid a pop if you are so inclined.
