My fiancé has done work for them and is owed a lot of money, he has been chasing for 6 weeks and always told he will be paid by the end of the week, I have now decided to get involved to help, a simple google search reveals some of the story’s others have shared. It’s frustrating that he didn’t google them before starting doing jobs for them.
Can others advise if they’ve been successful with getting paid?
I will be going as far as it takes and plan to set up a Facebook page, report them to watchdog, I think we all need to join forces to take this company down, stop them stealing money from customers and tradesman, it’s disgusting how they are still going.

The problem is if you shut them down they start a new company again.
As far as I can see, unless anyone knows different, no company that wants you to pay them for leads or who contact you offering to supply you with work, whether for a fee or not, is to be trusted.
What is certain is that they will have been paid by the customer.

Won't work and will potentially land you in legal hot water. Stealing (theft), for example, has a technical definition and what you've described isn't theft it's breach of contract. Wrongly accusing someone of theft is libel, doing so with the intention of damaging their reputation, pretty much leaves you without a defence. In fact, even if the accusation is true, making it with the intention of causing repetitional harm is libel in the UK.
What I would recommend that your fiancé does three things:
Firstly, ask the local Trading Standards Department for advice. They may already have the firm in their sights and will be interested in collecting evidence showing a repeated pattern of fraudulent behaviour.
Secondly, use the small claim court procedure as explained here
Make a court claim for money
How to take legal action if someone owes you money (small claims court), how much it costs, what happens next. Includes information from withdrawn guidance EX303, EX304, EX306, EX321, EX325 and EX350.
to recover the money owed.
Finally, to avoid this happening again, find out about 'credit control for small businesses'. Make sure any advice found on the WWW is up to date and specific to the UK. Their accountant, assuming they have one, should be happy to go through the basics.
