Naming them here will probably get you better traction with Google? 

yeah, actually posting a thread on MSE gets ranked on google fast. Often I'll post here asking others for help, then try and do my own independant research on google and my own thread shows up on top of search results.

Unless the OP has absolute proof of everything they claim this builder has done, they lay themselves open to court action.  I would be very, very careful before going down this route.

Not really absolute proof. Just outline of series of events occured.

Dont make any libellious accusations, just stick to what x say and what y said in response. Don't go into territory of speculating on other things that you have no way of knowing. inferring their thought process, intentions and other stuff.

I doubt a cowboy builder up to their neck on CCJ is going to take court action for defamation. Judge will glance one look at their CCJs and dismiss it (probably).

I doubt it.

Defamation could prevent the claimant being able to get work to pay off their debt.  If the claimant's CCJ's did have any relevance in a situation of that kind then it is more likely it would be to the benefit of the claimant.

Having a CCJ doesn't mean you can't be defamed.
