Hello all! Thanks for allowing me to join.
I would love some advice on defence/counterclaim against a builder who didn’t finish the job.
The builder is claiming for full payment for works which he left unfinished, he has already doorstepped me with a college in tow and filmed me on his phone whilst demanding that I agree the build is complete (which I didn’t) and that I owed him “over £10k” (which I also didn’t agree).
He has posted numerous photos of my home on his business Instagram without asking and hasn’t responded to my request to remove them.
He has done a poor job of work, I called building control part way through as he wasn’t responding to my concerns and the officer emailed him with several issues to remedy.
His claim doesn’t mention any of that of course.
so, I absolutely want to defend the claim. I feel the money he has already been paid more than covers the work he actually did. My question is can I counter claim for poor workmanship, the use of the photos, the huge overrun on the build, and my time and stress (I know that’s overused but he knows I’m recovering from cancer and long covid)?
many thanks in advance
