I have had dealings with James McGinnity and the man is nothing more than a fraudster. Please do not give this man any money for any work. He has ripped me off along with many other people. I paid in cash as this was his preferred payment method (I now know why, its not traceable!) I have reported him to the HMRC as im sure the man doesn't declare his income. I cannot believe that people are still employing this man to do work for them as he does not have a clue. He is no builder!! I've been left with a half finished house and a massive bill to rectify his mess.

 

He is a liar and should never be believed as he does not live with his Mother and Father. He lives with his girlfriend Emma Cherry and has plenty of money. 

 

PLEASE PLEaSE PLEASE NEVER ALLOW THIS CRIMINAL IN YOUR HOME!

I will be taking James and Paul to court.


They have conned me out of a lot of money and never finished my work.


If anybody can provide me with court case references and issues people have had I would like to bring them to the attention of the judge so this does not happen again.

I've had 169 pictures sent to me of the work that has been completed at the property of someone. I could get these too you. He is on here but hasn't commented on this thread. It's awful. I could cry for him. He has been taken for 56k and has been left with a brick shell. When is a criminal case going to happen for James. He needs to be sent to prison.

Hi everyone I?ve come across this thread. We have been conned by James JPM construction. He has left the job and has left our house inhabitable. He has walked out with ?50,000. Has anyone successfully taken him to court? We would be grateful for any advice. Thank you.

Hi All,


If you've been ripped off please log it with Action Fraud - even if it was years ago. If they have a number of reports about the same person/people it will flag up and can then be investigated by the police.


Its only takea 2 minutes and you'll be helping other people avoid being ripped off too.

James and Paul McGinnity are now trading as DBM Construction doing work around Kidderminster and other areas. They have managed to get themselves approved by the Federation of Master Builders under their new name! https://www.fmb.org.uk/builder/dbm-construction.html Despite their many, many bankruptcies and criminal convictions for fraud amongst other things. Clearly the FMB accreditation is absolutely worthless these days!

Now his bankruptcy has ended James McGinnity, and his father Paul McGinnity, have set up a Limited Company called Design Build Maintain Limited seemingly to trade as DBM Construction still. The registration is here: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/15597589

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
