I am personally a victim of cowboy builders. These unscrupulous individuals, who fraudulently take money from unsuspecting members of the public, have caused me significant financial and emotional distress. This is not an isolated incident; thousands of people across the country are suffering at the hands of these rogue traders.

According to Citizens Advice, over 500,000 people in England and Wales have fallen prey to dishonest tradespeople in the last two years (source: Citizens Advice). Despite this alarming number, current laws do not adequately punish these fraudulent individuals or provide sufficient protection for consumers.

We need a change in legislation that will hold cowboy builders and rogue traders accountable for their actions. The law should be reformed to ensure that those who steal money under false pretenses face serious consequences. This will send a clear message that such behavior is unacceptable and deter potential offenders.

By signing this petition, you are standing with victims like myself against fraudulent tradespeople. Together we can push for legislative reform that protects consumers from cowboy builders and rogue traders. Please sign this petition today!
