Got an e-mail from checkatrade today,There going to be getting a grilling on watchdog tonight for customer complaints.How ironic.
 
Ive just set it aswell , back of midnight its on ,
 
they didnt really get a grilling, just cant leave negative reviews!!! Im signing up, lol
 
3 aired compaints from 16,000 companies. If each has completed an average of 50 jobs that's 1 aired complaint in 266,667 completed jobs. A complete non-story imo.
 
Checkatrade have been doing that for years, I have come across numerous customers who say this, threaten bad reviews and get money knocked off the bill to keep quiet.

These were all genuine customers not Proffessional moaners/ scum

Watchdog as usual went for the sensational story and skirted the facts.

Notice they never ran a story a couple of years ago when one of their staff got locked up for benefit fraud
