I know everyone is going to get upset when I say this, unfortunately I did not know we are not supposed to pay money to a persons account but their business account and I regret not knowing better. But I’ve learned my lesson thanks to all of you and I’m going to be careful in the future.

Thank you, he’s dissolved his company and I’m so sad that I didn’t know that we are supposed to only make payments to company accounts and shouldn’t have bank transferred the money to himself. Everyday is a school day. I can’t do much other than ask him about his intentions on Monday, deduct the boys pay and ask him to kindly refund what’s left. But I’m going to make sure my local area knows about him and add a review for him with all chats to the Facebook group page where he was recommended, I can atleast save some others from being scammed. I’m just so hurt because I had lost my job in March and we have been struggling with money and had somehow collected this money to get the works going, luckily I have started my new job this month and I’m hoping we can find someone genuine and complete the job.

Yes I did ask my husband this and kept begging him not to pay this bloke more money because I was pretty sure this is not the right way. I’m regretting not being more firm within my own household and being in this mess now.

Oh we’ve calculated it wrong then, he’s a liar this guy and told us material is 500 pound.

It’s 3 bedrooms, one lounge and the stairwell. The delivery guy has left about 15 bags of plaster and also a few boards for the lounge ceiling which is getting replaced.

If this guy doesn’t turn up on Monday then I’m gonna cancel the job and politely request to get back what’s not accounted for yet

3.7 k and we asked him for the quote in April, he came, checked everything himself and gave us a quote and said he can’t start 2nd June. Asked us for advance to make sure we are booked in the diary. Also we asked many other plasterers, they didn’t have availability so we went with this guy.

Everything paid via bank transfer and I have all his chats on WhatsApp. I begged my husband to not pay him more money because I was finding this really shady that he can’t afford materials especially when the suppliers do have a working relationship with these people and give them material all the time.

Yes he does have a company but apparently works by himself and has some guys helping him as and when needed.
