John Houlihan t/a Highgrove Windows

John Houlihan is a con-man, do not trust him. He has had my 50% deposit (£1,550) since May 2012, but to date nothing has been delivered only lies and false promises. Please note his son Michael is also part of the business. Trading Standards (Kings Hill office, 01732 224601) are informed/investigating but because it is a civil matter this con-man is allowed to get away with this. I have a CCJ against him, but no doubt this is just one of many and besides they're not worth the paper they're written on once judgement has been passed. Basically the law protects him and there are no consequences for his criminal behaviour. I have reported him to watchdog and cowboy traders, but feel the more noise we make the better the chance of stopping him from ripping off other people. I have also reported him to www.actionfraud.police.uk I would recommend you do the same. He needs to be stopped & prosecuted before he ruins any more lives. My next stop is the local press, such as Kent Messenger, Chronicle to name a few, I also have a very good contact at the Courier newspaper, watch this space John as I'm sure you're readig this. No doubt the people of Westerham would like to know they have a con-man on their doorstep. I run a marketing agency so will target Westerham businesses so they can also warn locals. To give you an insight into this man, last summer to my face he swore on his future grandchild (apparently due that summer) that my windows would be installed on 6-7 August 2012 (fourth failed installation date!). Of course windows were not installed and I do hope that if the grandchild actually existed, the child is healthy! To rub our noses in it, he also drives a new convertible Jaguar. Although no doubt the car isn't in his own name.
