I did but they may have come across the wrong person this time company director has been found along with the 3 different address they have. A family member who is a solicitor is already on the case

I hope you're right Gavin, I sincerely do.

You could have bought all this

people like these eat county court and small claims judgements for lunchas ray says by the time it got near a court the company is folded and youll find the names on the directors list will be a couple of hard ups who were recruited down the pub
long firms have been running for ever

That was my first thought, but in the contract it guarantees 500 properties a year and if they fail to deliver you get your 2k back. Now I know they probably would try not to give you the money back but that would put them in breach of contract which you could chase through the small claims court. Aggro I know but is it worth their while to get in that situation in the first place? There are only so many times they can get away with it, so is it then worth it for them?
It would be interesting to find somebody out there who has actually gone through with it and what their experience was.
That is something that don't appear to be pushing, testimonials from existing contractors which any marketing person will tell you is the most powerful selling tool you can have.
i think at the moment unless somebody can tell me what the actual scam is and back it up in some way then I am going to ask them to provide me with the names and contact details of some existing contractors that I can verify and talk to myself even to the point of visiting them at their premises.
it will be interesting to see what transpires and I will of course let you know.
Don't get me wrong I am not here to defend them I am very sceptical myself I just would like something more solid either way than just knee jerk reactions.

The last time I saw references on the website of a very similar company, they turned out to be false. If you really need to have the scam explained and "backed up" in whatever way then I would guess you are new to either the trade or self employment? seriously consider your employment status as you won't last long in this trade if you fall for this, especially when it's been a hot topic for the last few years.

Why would anybody pay? I suppose its eay to say when you have heard a few of these.

As for getting your money back, i think the best way is to forget the legal routes and get yourself a gorilla and a pair of bolt cutters. Put the two together and send them round to one of the addresses. I'm sure you will get a refund if the gorilla has the directors nads in a tight grip with the bolt cutters.

Other than that I think its a lesson learnt the hard way.

Thats insane, surely you did not pay or fall for this after all of the advice you read. I am gutted for you, but jeezo mate - now your spending all your time were you could be making money chasing these guys about. :confused5:

 

[Ermintrude]

Courts is pointless as you won't get a penny back. U may win but you won't get paid. I would pay some one £750 and tell them I wanted the money back but I wanted as much Agro and damage as possible, infact I would tell them all I want back is £750 but I want photographs if smashed up things and people.

Hardly the corporate headquaters I was expecting.

We had a bloke wanting to buy a few 40kw platinums from is opposed to merchants, he would collect them even though his card was registered 300 miles away. In some grotty flats..... Didn't look like the place u have a enough money to get a wispa gold let alone a platinum boiler isn't google maps awsome .
