Scragg owned Village Car Sales in Cheadle,
between 2003 and 2007, selling cars on behalf of individuals
without passing on profits. He would stall on repayments to
customers and used false details to set up fraudulent agreements
with finance companies on vehicles.
The repayment comprises the initial estimate
of £215,000 illegally obtained by Scragg, including a BMW worth
£32,000, a Mercedes CLK worth £20,000, and an Audi A4 worth
£19,000, plus interest.
