Name and shame warning!

Rockingit · Jul 2, 2013

You have been warned:

Duncan Attwell, aka Merlin Timber Frame, MTF Projects, Cleeve Mill Estates and probably something else by now

A builder who owes MILLIONS all over the country both in bad debts and poor workmanship remedials has just relocated from Somerset back to the Gloucestershire area.

If this post can save just one member from being ripped off then I'm happy.

Note to MODS - this post is evidence based on public record, not personal opinion.

My mate done this the other week, well sort of...he followed the customer down to the bank as he only had £50 cash at home for a £1400 job.

The customer when asked for payment on completion of the work (which he said he was happy with) said to his daughter, looks like we cant go on holiday now as Ive got to give the electrician all of the holiday money. The little girl burst into tears

Trying the emotional blackmail or what!!

My mate said, look we agreed the price and job beforehand, you gave me the go ahead and Ive also got a family to feed so pay up and then they both drove to the bank!

:shocked3: That's an awful thing to do !! Fancy playing with the emotions of a poor innocent sparky like that.

Will a Judges summary be sufficient public record?! There is actually much more to this link which is private - but you should read the Judge tear these two new a*holes when he eventually goes to judgement. Something like £650k against them off the top of my head just for remedials alone!!!

I think it's the code on their website.

Just go to Home - Fishersgate and browse through to it as it's definitely there, and also more of their story, too.

Somebody who loses £27K to a builder is unlucky but there are times when we all need to walk away from bad payers. Cut your losses!

If that was aimed my way - totally agree. Mine was two years ago almost, but it'd be good to stop someone else falling foul.

I worked for builder he was flash and had a silver tongue some how managed to get top end jobs it was that sort of money monthly so you never minded him getting into for that much at the time. Wouldn't dream of letting anyone owe me that sort of money now
