AND Cowboy Consumers!!!</strong></p><p>Are you worried about how to gain confidence from your potential customers?</p><p>There is so much bad press about people taking large deposits only to disappear or do shoddy work and force people into payments.</p><p>After all the law is generally on the traders side, enter into a contract and have the work completed, you will need to pay up or be threatened with court cases. No matter what the standard of work.</p><p>However, if there was a scheme where the customers deposit could be held in a secure fund with payment released after each stage, i.e. materials delivered, ground cleared, base laid etc. etc. would this not help with securing the job?</p><p>There is a scheme already in place which protects the consumer AND the trades person. The consumer knows the money is there, in a secure bank account only being released at staged payments and the trades person knowing the money is actually there.</p><p>deposit guarantee</p><p>Are you having any building or landscaping work soon?<br/> Worried about your deposit?<br/> Worried about shoddy work?<br/> Worried about work not being to standard or safe?</p><p>Deposit Guarantee Protection.</p><p>The CPG only releases funds based on satisfaction of the trades work at agreed stages.
