Ihad to have my lock changed as Id lost my keys to front doo.r.
It was very late at night and I managed to get someone out after phoning around to about 5 '24 hour locksmiths' who either didn't answer or couldnt come
. We agreed £90.00. When the job was finished Ioffered him a cheque as I had not 90.00 cash in my house. He said he would have to charge 100.00 . When I challenged it he got touchy and said," I have to pay vat and taxes and all manner of things you just wouldn't know about" ( I do know -Ihave a business .) Isaid he should put in his ad, cash only
I paid up as i was alone in the house the house at the time, my family were all out
Next day Iphoned him up to ask for his vat no. and he said he was going to register in April .
Obviously he is pocketing money without paying tax--which Iam aware many do, but what do Ido now
Ishould shop him. but he will know who Iam-and then what.

opinions please

P.S. I HAVE NOW DECIDED WHAT TO DO BUT WOULD VALUE COMMENTS
