DO NOT USE.

DO NOT USE.
This company is the same 1A Contrcts on wolf's clothing. Who scammed people out of money and employed contractors to carry out the work, so thay can mitigate all risks when things go wrong.

Update on 1a contracts!!!!

Just to let others who are in the same boat as myself and were scammed by 1A contracts, the company is now trading again!!!!! It’s now called 1st choice contracts and is fronted by the same man who scammed myself and my husband for thousands of pounds, Richie Jeffrey. Imagine to my surprise I came across a post on social media tonight of this man touring another unsuspecting victims house, they need to be stopped before anyone else goes through the heartache his company caused mine and many other families, we lost thousands upon thousands of pounds, paying for work that was never completed. Will be contacting trading standards in the morning, disgusted by this man’s callous behaviour, back in business again with a barely different company name as if the past had never happened! BEWARE OF 1ST CHOICE CONTRACTS!!!

I have lived in hope with Steven the owner of 1a contracts

I have lived in hope with Steven the owner of 1a contracts. He has filled me with false promises of giving me my money back for a totally unfinished job. The end result being he still owes us £4800. This was my husbands pension that he took. It’s hard to think a family man would do this but he has. I don’t know how this company has been allowed to do this to people. Some justice needs done for the people like myself that just cry with what’s happened. I just have been taken in like others. I’m so sorry for all these people too. His company should be totally highlighted and any new ventures to save the stupid people like myself to be taken in

0 Stars ! Nil points !

I have given this 1 star as it doesn’t accept 0 stars. This company has no shame ! It is full of empty promises then does nothing. I suspect the Police action might lead to something but not holding my breath that deposits will be recovered. Involved myself with them in July last year heard nothing since empty promise since Dec !

Do not use this is 1A contracts

Do not use this is 1A contracts. I am £7000 down. Scammers. Please please don’t be put on the same position as me. I beg you please go somewhere else. Don’t always look at the reviews either because some positive ones are fake. Due diligence all the way. Don’t be scammed like me. Police and reading standards involved. I will get my £ one way or another.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - PHOENIX FRAUD SCHEME

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

This Company is called the next one in a Fraud "Phoenix" Scheme - DEFINITION: Phoenix company fraud happens after company goes bankrupt and a second company (known as a phoenix company) is started up overnight with the same directors.

In THIS CASE The Director of 5 Star Contracts is the Business Manager of 1A Contracts Ltd. 1A is currently under investigation by Trading Standards Scotland for major fraud.

DUE DILIGENCE: Check Out 1A Contracts Ltd on TrustPilot. Check out Trading Standards Scotland for their Investigation on 1A Contracts Ltd.

NOTE that 5 Star Contracts was Registered at Companies House on 24th August 2021. However, their Website etc claim 6 years trading history with numerous clients.

THE FRAUD:

Fixed Price, Or Preferable Price Discounts on Extensions, Conservatories, Bathrooms, Toilets etc etc. 30% Deposit to 'Order Materials'. Then lots of reasons as to why the work doesn't start and within a year they go bankrupt and start another company.

THIS IS NOT A SCAM POST - THIS IS A GENUINE ISSUE. Look for the Director of 5 Star Contracts on Company House. Look at registered address. Look at the Director of 1A Contracts and you will find a whole series of companies formed and struck off before any accounts have been submitted.

1A's Victims number in the hundreds across both sides of the border and across multiple counties. They have lost well in excess of £Million if not more.

CAVEAT EMPTOR - BUYER BEWARE
