A Warrington used car dealer has appeared in court accused of misleading customers.
Blackbrook Car Sales Company Ltd has been charged over allegations to deceived buyers about warranties, repair work and the condition of cars sold.
The firm has been accused of seven offences under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and last week appeared before North Cheshire Magistrates’ Court.
The Warrington Guardian reports that one charge alleges the company breached professional standards through an unfair commercial practice which could have influenced customers’ purchasing decisions.
The other six charges relate to allegedly giving customers misleading information about vehicle repairs, warranties and cars sold by the dealership.
The allegations include claims that warranties were not provided or activated as customers had been led to expect, that a vehicle was sold despite alleged defects and that a customer seeking a refund was left without a response.
According to Companies House, the firm was hit with a notice for for compulsory strike-off in June of this year, although the action was suspended less than a week later. The firm’s accounts remain overdue.
All seven matters were adjourned, with the company due to return to court on November 18 for a plea hearing.
