Hello, can someone please advise me. I found an electrician on Gumtree three weeks ago, I explained that i needed a complete re wire in my mobile home. He came out and priced the job at 750.00. I streesed to him that it was so important that I have all the correct paperwork after the job is done so I can have my electrics put on. I am on a temporary supply at the moment so was anxious to get the re wire done (my old wiring was degraded hence I was cut off by SEC) The electrician told me that the certificates that he gives me will be enough to prove that my home had been re wired. I completed a surface re wire within a day, and passed me the certificates DCN4 . Now im a women and i have no idea what these were but because he told me that was what I had to have, i beleived him. I sent the certificates to the director of the mobile home park where I live and one set to my lawyer. Three days later I was sent a letter from the Park management who told me that the certificate were not complete and that there was missing DCN5, which is the detailed information of what the electrician put in the home and how he did the work etc. I contacted the electrician, and he told me he had gone back to Spain and was not returning to the UK, and to contact his office, where someone there would be able to find the paperwork I needed. I did this, but was told that the company is no longer trading.
In so many words this electrician has cheated me out of 750 to do this work, without providing me with the correct certificate. I was told by him that he was fully certified as an electrician and was a member of some electrical place, yes I know, I was falling into a trap, but I live on my own with my children, and suffer with depression so trying to handle something like this was very difficult, and I was trusting him totaly. When he was here putting the re wire in, we had talked about the situation I was in (a court case that is coming up, due to my electrics and that I may lose my home) he was understanding and I did tell him, that everything must be correct and to the board because of the court case, now im down so much money and no electrics and the management are now saying i have got this electrician in to provide fraud certificates so to get my electrics put on the main supply on the Park.
I need help and advise, Please can someone tell me who i can get in contact about this electrician, not to get my money back, I know I have lost that, but to report him, something, because what he has done to me has ruined me, and left me in such a terrible mess, but to stop him doing this to someone else. Im in my 50's and I have suffered so much over the past three years due to people taking advantage of my situation and breaking me down. I need help. I do not know what I should do now. I do not know who to trust.
please please help.
