Like this one as reported by consumer champion Anna Tims in <em>The Guardian<\/em>.

If GR had known that Mobala of Hull was a failing franchise of Early Nights Limited that had already ceased trading then he or she would never have placed the order let alone paid up \u00a38,000 in cash.

Several months later after a string of false promises she still hadn\u2019t received her kitchen and demanded her money back. The newspaper published the story and then received similar stories from other customers of the firm with deposits paid but not returned and kitchens that never appeared. A simple search with CheckaCo for \u00a33.85 would have revealed that Campbell Kane of Stirling &#8211; the man behind the operation &#8211; was known to trading standards. Luxury Kitchens was a trading name of Luxury One Limited while Mr Kane also traded as CAM Living which was a trading name for LKD Limited. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2019-12-Creditheckco-BLOG-Kitchen-rip-off-1024x589.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2019-12-Creditheckco-BLOG-Kitchen-rip-off-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2019-12-Creditheckco-BLOG-Kitchen-rip-off-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2019-12-Creditheckco-BLOG-Kitchen-rip-off-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2019-12-Creditheckco-BLOG-Kitchen-rip-off-1536x884.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2019-12-Creditheckco-BLOG-Kitchen-rip-off.jpg 1549w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Another story of lost cash &#8211; this time in the Daily Mirror<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Daily Telegraph<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the<em> Daily Telegraph<\/em> consumer journalist Jessica Gorst-Williams heard from PF somewhere in the South West of England about the trials of ordering a kitchen worktop from an unnamed firm.
