I agree

100% behind him, he is still out of pocketas what he put up is not useable but at least she hasn't benefitted and people who do this need to take note. I wonder how many more builders bills will be paid over the next week because of this lol!

Becky, hopefully it will make people stand up and think about taking advantage. I do wonder if they would have played the same game with a national company ??? I doubt they would have been so patient

Good on him!

Watched this on the news last night, and completely agree with him - good for him!

The company who did my loft extension (a big company) made me pay at intervals, i.e. I had to pay a lump sum before they even started £13K, then when the carcass was finished we paid for that stage, then the plasterer, etc. etc. etc. and this way the company would have immediately stopped work at each stage had we not paid, which I think personally is a brilliant idea!

Dave has this problem with his garage, he's got customers that don't cough up, but he knows them as such now, so he never gives them the car back until they've paid for the job and too right I say! Some of them in the past have driven off saying they would put a cheque in the post or come back tomorrow, never to be seen again. How can people do that?

I have heard so many stories, and remember one situation where out transit van sat outside a restaurent with full beam on whilst customers were eating they soon paid.
