you had not to vs i hope you had not to

The two phrases are not directly comparable as they have different subjects ('you' and 'I'). 'You had not to' is not a common or correct construction in English. 'I hope you had not to' is also not a common or correct construction. The correct form would be 'you did not have to' or 'I hope you did not have to'.
