You say fleecing folk, weren’t they all ready doing that before?

Well yeah, but if you got sufficient high paying jobs then it was palatable..just...where as now it leaves a nasty after taste and they are taking the proverbial

I mentioned a while ago how someone I spoke to said that his membership with Checkatrade went up by £500 and they just would just budge on it. They apparently start you off at around £750 and let you spend a year getting good reviews and then shaft you with a 65% increase the next year (scamming baskets).

As for homeserve, I have also mentioned them on here before, and my experience is that they send out cowboys who are clueless.

no idea whats happening but more of these companies seem to be merged/brought out. Telford and wrekin had a handy man service which was very reasonable now they have the customer base the wrekin housing trust has taken it over and added all the trades to it and now charges about 3 times as much. I feel sorry for the older customers who used to get a reasonable service not being ripped off

......and the others as 'Homeswerve'.
