    How do I get out of this credit agreement

    I signed up to trades collage a few days ago and have found from this thread it is a scam. I signed something and I’m guessing it was a credit agreement. It’s not been 14 days yet so I’m still in the cooling period. Can someone please tell me how to get out of this. Any help will be appreciated!

    Electrician walked out - worth involving NICEIC?

    Long story short - our electrician walked out 2/3rds of the way through a complete rewire including a new fuse box. Is it worth complaining to NICEIC? I've got another electrician willing to finish the job; NICEIC have said they can't help with my complaint if that's the case but if the original...

    Weird fault that no-one can work out the issue.

    Evening all. Been at a property the last couple of days that had suffered damage due to a surge. I got the power back on all circuits apart from the upstairs lights as it immediately trips. Long story short I broke the circuit down and re-added room by room to narrow down the problem area...
