Customers were left out of pocket after a Long Eaton plumber mislead them. Adam Wilson of Sunninghill Drive, Clifton, ran Yourplumbstop, and at a previous court hearing in December 2021, he admitted 12 charges of breaching the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.
One of the charges against the 41 year old was for making false statements about representing a company named Wolf Design and Build Ltd when he was negotiating a contract to refurbish a bathroom. The other 11 charges relate to how he failed to tell customers that he was bankrupt, which he had a duty to disclose as it could affect a consumer's transactional decision reports Derbyshire Live.
His victim's were from all over Derbyshire, including Ilkeston, Alfreton and Spondon. Wilson appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday, November 9, where Judge Rafferty sentenced him to to two-and-a-half years imprisonment relating to the trading standards charges and a further two-and-a-half years imprisonment for a separate drugs-related offence.
