Builder made to pay substantial fine and sign fair trade declaration
A builder who charged for work that he didn't carry out has been prosecuted by the Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading.
The man, who has not been named is said to have caused a number of problems in the Island over recent years.
He pleaded guilty to knowingly making false or misleading statements as to services he'd provided.
The OFT has revealed the builder received a substantial fine and was ordered to pay prosecution costs in full.
He has also signed a written assurance under the Fair Trading Act that he will trade fairly from now on.
The department is also investigating the activities of a number of other 'cowboy builders' who are operating in the Isle of Man. It says it will not hesitate to take similar action to prevent them taking advantage of customers.
