Private Investigator To Trace Fraudulent Builder,,,

Odyssium

Hello folks!!!!
I am looking for a private investigator who can trace a builder who has defrauded my family of a large amount of money. All we really have is his website, phone numbers and bank details. Unfortunately the PI business is also full of cowboys. Can anyone recommend a good investigator...

There are quite a few people finding services, and I would use one of them rather than pay a private investigator.
Some of them advertise on this website in the directory section.

You could commence legal action to recover the money using the address from companies house.
That's...

Restrictive covenant

Telometer

I am looking at a freehold property with a large garden that would very much suit an extra house being built in the garden. However, there is a restrictive covenant preventing this, without permission.

Am I right in assuming that there is a fair chance that the restrictive covenant may...

Is 'Cowboy Builders' still running on Channel 5?

Maybe not a bad idea to contact one of those TV programmes, if he's defrauded your F-i-L then he won't be the only victim.

Entrapment may be your only way forward. Get someone to get him out for a quote and see how much info you can get. I assume your intention would be to sue him through the civil courts which may or may not recover some of the money (most likely the latter unfortunately)....

The address is a prestigious office, that is used as an address by many companies. However our company is not listed on any of the various listings of companies at this address. Unfortunately we don't have a reg number - he always parked his car out of site. And the Police and Trading Standards don't...

I think I would be tempted to go to the address and park nearby and watch for the person - you may then get a car or van reg which would help when you speak to the police...

So the address exists, and it's not unusual for certain types of people not to accept mail.
(Especially recorded/special delivery which might be legal documents or even a summons).

Have you taken a look at the address on Google Streetview?
If you are lucky you might find a builders...

What vehicle did he drive/ any chance the registration might have been caught on a camera? Have you spoken to Trading Standards and the police?
