Hello all Up date. I gave Barry £300 in July to put a shed up. Usually definitely would not give anyone money up front , but he did some small jobs on time so i had built some trust. Although he wanted money up front - i highlighted i was a nurse and therefore could not afford to loose money. Anyway he still has not done the work on the shed . I have rang him several times a day for several days and he has not picked up. He has text to say he is going through a messy divorce and now living in Gillingham , not intending to return. I value all the advise on here and I will be contacting check a trades , trading standards and the local police. i have a photo copy of his driving licence , so i shall write to the address on there and see where i get.
