Removals company did not turn up. Now they're hiding under another name and refusing to refund us the money we paid for the removals service.
Can anyone offer advice of going down the SCC route, would there be complications as the company we 'used' are now trading under a different name (though it's obvious, even to a child, that it's the same business with same owner).
Any advice would be really appreciated. I'd like to get my money back and also help stop others falling foul of this thief!

If your contract was with a Ltd company, and that company still exists (check Companies House), you sue them.If not Ltd, sue the director /owner of the company you contracted with.1

What do you mean by hiding? Are you sure they just haven't changed names? Or are they now working for another company (and not owning it)?felinefancy said:Removals company did not turn up. Now they're hiding under another name and refusing to refund us the money we paid for the removals service.
