Do I sue company on invoice or company who took my money?

[fullsteam]

I had some work carried out in my property but it was completed to a very poor standard. I've asked for my money back but the tradesman has now terminated all contact with me.

 

As I was gathering up files for my solicitor, I noticed my bank statement showed that I had paid a limited company with a different name to that on the invoice. In fact, the one on the invoice was not even limited.

 

I'd like to know which company can I legally sue for compensation.

It would be the company that you had the original contract with. They might of sub contracted the work out.

Yes, the chap I had the contract with did sub contract out work which was completed very poorly.

 

But I'm still not sure if I invoice the company on the invoice or the company to whom I paid the money. Both companies belong to the same person but only the one to whom I paid the money was limited.

Name both of them in any action. Let them decide who is responsible between themselves.

Both companies are run by the same person but I was hoping that I had a legal right to sue the one which was not a limited company.
