Cowboy repairmen

Some unscrupulous traders that visit your home to repair appliances like washing machines, cookers or televisions, video recorders or TV aerials, con unsuspecting consumers by charging for bogus parts or labour costs. Relying on the limited knowledge of the consumer these cowboy traders rip people off by claiming for repairs that aren't necessary or charge for new parts that haven't actually been replaced.
