First Choice EPC

Options
Hi all,

I paid for an EPC through http://firstchoiceepc.com

The assessor visited the property and undertook an assessment. Since then he has vanished into thin air, the report has not been uploaded and First Choice EPC are no longer replying to my emails.

At the very least I'd like to raise this with Trading Standards but don't know where First Choice EPC are based.

Any suggestions?

    No one seems to know where they are based!

    How did you paid for the assessment?
    If by way of debit or credit card then you should contact your card issuer. Explain what has happened and request a chargeback of the money.
    This isn't guaranteed to get your money back but it's probably your only option.

    Hi all,

    I paid for an EPC through http://firstchoiceepc.com

    The assessor visited the property and undertook an assessment. Since then he has vanished into thin air, the report has not been uploaded and First Choice EPC are no longer replying to my emails.

    At the very least I'd like to raise this with Trading Standards but don't know where First Choice EPC are based.

    Any suggestions?
    If you google them this is the 3rd result

    You state that other peoples posts are not useful then go on to duplicate information that has already been posted by others!

    Because it highlights the fact that the OP didnt do their due dilligence and is more likely to in the future

  • Their last known address was:

    Maylands Business Centre
    Redbourn Road
    Hemel Hempstead
    Hertfordshire
    HP2 7ES

    They also operate as deadirect.com and epclocal.net. You can see on these sites that they still have their address and phone number displayed however they have recently removed these details from firstchoiceepc.com. They also have a software company called kymsoft.com apparently owned by a chap called Chris Scott.
  • I booked an EPC with Firstchoice EPC and when they hadnot contacted me by 1400 hrs on the next working day I arranged for the EPC tobe done by another company. Very efficient – came at 1630hrs on the same day.
    When Firstchoice EPC eventually contacted me I told them that they were too late and cancelled.
    Then the emails started coming. After the 4th I informed the company that any further communication would be considered harassment and I asked for their registered address so that I could commence legal proceedings. I have had no further response and certainly not received details of their registered address.

    Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulation 2013 which came into force on 13th June 2014 is the relevant legislation which gives a statutory right to cancel within 14days. Any terms and conditions which claim to override this are illegal.

    My advice would be “Don’t pay anything upfront to thiscompany.”
