Hello everyone , I am in need of some advice please . October last year a roofer asked me if I would work with him to finish a job which I did . I was working there in all weather up to Christmas . The roofer himself was hardly ever there so I almost completed the job for him until the weather got the best of me and I caught pnewmonia and was bed ridden over christmas . I estimated that there was only a few days work left , just the hip leadwork and ridge leadwork as all the slates were laid . I have billed the roofer for my work at the beginning of Jan and again 2 weeks later after not hearing from him . Last friday I met the owner of the property to collect my tools and she said that the roofer did not return and she has since given the work to complete the job to another company ! This company has also taken my tools !!! She is also refusing to pay the roofer because he has not come back to finish ! Where does that leave me as The roofer will not have money to pay me until he is paid himself ? Thank you in advance for any advice

We get quite quite a lot of posts on here(and other web sites) where the firm contracted to the local authority uses sub-contractors to enforce council tax and PCNs should we be asking the local authority /bailiff firm if there sub-contractor has the authority to collect the debt under The Local Authorities (Contracting Out of Tax Billing, Collection and Enforcement Functions) Order 1996 If there is no authorization has the bailiff firm broken the Data protection act by passing your information on http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/1880/part/VIII/made#f00025 Assignment and sub-contracting 72. A contractor shall not make any arrangement for the exercise, whether in whole or in part, by any other person of any function which he has been authorized to exercise by the authority, unless that person has been authorized to exercise the function concerned under a further authorization given by the authority by virtue of this Order.
