Looks like theses people have moved their business to Ruislip Manor, my mum 83 years old has been duped into paying a deposit and balance for about ?4000 for minor pebbledash and painting to a small terrace house.


Cheque cancelled before cashed so hopefully nothing lost. Tactics are exactly as listed in the threads, cold calling by youngster, ask for phone No follow up phone call and visit by salesman using pressure tactics, stayed in house 3 and 1/2 hours till contract signed. As said cheques cancelled and contract cancelled within cooloing off period, wait to see what happens now.

With regard to the "cooling off period" - I may be mistaken but I believe this differs for unsolicited calls from salesmen. I understand that if you have made an appointment for a salesman to call (even if arranged through a different person such as the youngster in this case) your rights under cooling off periods are weaker. Is this correct? Any consumer law specialists out there?

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
