First of all, a big hello to everyone, I am new here!
So the story goes....
Bumped into an old colleague while in the local plumbcenter, I knew him from a company I worked for with him a while back while , The guy in question had also left the company we worked at together, He say's in passing conversation, "It was bad wasn't it, when they were signing gas work off in your name after you had gone". Not wanting to look like a rabbit in headlights and i knew nothing of this, i just replied with an "yeh, yeh I heard about that".
Left the shop, got straight on the phone to Gas safe, and found I had been taken off the companies list of registered installers , but it was 1 whole year after id left, they couldn't access the data and the local gas Audit bloke/investigator would call me as he could. Bear in mind I was the ONLY Gas safe employee at the company and was there when we registered/had our audits etc.
Got off of the phone with him yesterday after him confirming that they have in fact signed off work in my name!!!:32:
So now I am waiting to hear back from Gas safe to do further investigations,
The best Advice I can give is as soon as you leave a company, inform gas safe that you need to be taken off of that companies register. maybe this is a common practice and I am the daft one, but I've learnt my lesson now.
Has anyone had this happen to them/someone they know?
What do you think will happen to the Company?
Do you think I have grounds to sue them?
