How best to screw over business who ripped off my Mum

[Soov535]

I sort of know a MILLION ways to do this.

But just for my own research purposes, let's assume that a builder has ripped off my 78 year old Mum and then threatened her when I issue proceedings.


How best to annihilate them.


All legal suggestions welcome. I've already called the VAT man and the Inland Revenue to report their cash deals.

[FurtiveFreddy]

Just to clarify - you want to pursue them legally or some other way?

[Vitorio]

Any evidence as to said threats? that would make a legal case even more interesting..

If you plan to operate more covert, would said business owner have a lawn he takes pride in?

[Axionknight]

Frozen sausages
VBRJ
Knock him out
Burn his house down
fk his wife and send the pics

Can your mum cope with more grief?

[Mikeyplum]

An oldie, but a goody.

Can of Redbull to the shnozzzz

Some sort of flyer with their number and some bullet points

That type of thing sent round a few places.

It might be a good idea not to post it on a public forum?

Why. I am not going to do anything illegal. I am simply going to make their lives a misery for the rest of time.

[C0ffin D0dger]

How much money are we talking about?

Not a great situation for sure but sometimes it can be better just to put these things down to experience and walk away. Do not underestimate the stress that a court case can bring + the intimidation to your Mum whether it be inferred or physical threats. Probably not the best way to enjoy your retirement.

Local press, trading standards, Strictly Got Ripped Off or whatever the latest incarnation of That's Life is called.

But mainly VBRJ.

Id hold off on any childish pranks during the court business, if it came to light that you were hammering sausages into the other guys lawn at night the judge might not look all that favorably on you (rightly so imho)

This can grow legs!!**

Maybe add 20% off for repeat custom (alienate his existing client base)
Maybe find his favourite drinking hole and flyer this with crimewatch mock-ups
Clone his plates on the works van so it comes to the attention of the authorities
Get his bank account frozen

**Hypothetically of course as this would cause distress to an individual and possibly break a few laws.

Ring his doorbell, then run away.

[kiethton]

Whenever I had an issue/wanted to ps off somebody I'd sign them up for (in no particular order):

PPI claim lines
Grindr (with a suitable picture/profile)
gumtree (dates)

etc. etc.

[ThunderGuts]

His contact number on smutty cards in phone boxes.

Bosh

[sidekickdmr]

You know his address I assume?

I may or may not have put an ad in local gumtree and freecycle saying "*FREE* house clearance - All must go"

I am clearning out my parents old house this weekend, all most go, washing machine, TV, lawnmower, furniture etc, all free, just need it gone, all in good working order and lot of it almost new.

I will be at XX Soandso Street, This Town, Postcode, all weekend, just turn up and see what I have left, and take it away there and then!

See you soon

Maybe call his bank with suspicions his cash dealings are with those dodgy foreigners

Suggest money laundering....
