I know someone who had a similar experience when threatened by someone - single girl, threatened by an ex, plods couldn't be arsed...typical lazy overpaid civil service attitude...

It is a shame, but it seems if you land up in this situation you have to deal with it yourself, either through small claims or other ways. But then it becomes a crime on you if you take the matter in your own hands if you know what I mean.
However, I think the main problem lies in the fact that you have already paid up for the labour. You owe him for the things he has purchased on your behalf if I have read it right.
I would love to know the total cost of the bathroom, broken down into labour and materials.Comment

Years ago my car was hit by a drink driver - pissed up bloke left a pub. An argument started and a bloke called the police because he thought a fight was about to kick off. Then this bloke gets into his car and reverses it into mine. The witness gave the reg details which plod lost. I went to see the police and they suggested I interview the witness.
When my car was broken into they couldn't be arsed sending anybody round the corner, but then I didn't really expect them to. I called for my crime number and was told I could have one in 2 days. I called back 2 days later and was told that they were understaffed and stil could not issue one. He was ranting at me for wanting the number in the timescales he gave out.
A few months ago I posted on here about my daughters mate being beaten up by two other girls. She gave a statement under the strict instruction that this girl was not to know that she had given one. What did the copper do - got straight into his car and drove to this girls house, read her my daughters statement and told her who gave it.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I made an official complaint once - the coppers involved lied to avoid any censure.
I used to think you could trust Plod. You really can't - sadly, and it's a shame because there are a few decent ones.Comment

I suggest the best way to screw over the little fcker is to grass him up to HMRC/DWP. They seem to be a lot more 'proactive' than the cops.+50 Xeno Geek Points

They will be round quicker than you can say "it's a stitch-up".'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

- At least a few kids are reported missing
- A number of people will try and commit suicide
- Serious Road accidents
- Mental patients gone walkabouts
- Burglaries in progress
- Domestic and non-domestic violence in progress
99% of it is never reported in the media, hence the public get the impression the Police aren't doing that much.
So having someone come in and tell them a builder with keys may enter their property, probably wasn't top of their agenda. Also did you speak to an actual officer or was it just someone on the front desk?Comment
