That is the worst answer, I would call trading standards as they can prosecute him as a director.
They ten to listen to them.

Oops..

Check Companies House and see how long he's been under that name. It may give you an indication whether he'll liquidate and start again at the threat of court.

From what I can tell, guy stepped down from being a Director Jan 2014 and it looks like his wife is now the Director of the company. The company has been going for a couple of years now.

That would indicate a problem end of 2013 and him possibly trying to avoid his responsibilities.

Think you need to go through CAB to get to trading standards these days but I would certainly run this past them first thing tomorrow.

How strange.
Loooong shot, wonder if he's disqualified or bankrupt or something and now playing shadow director.

Is anybody there when he's not?
setup an appointment if not. I suspect it'll get heated when he realises what's happened, but who cares, sounds like he has no intention of giving you your money back!!

Do a director search also and see if he has q history of closing companies down.
