| The CAI has its fair
share of companies claiming to be a member of the CAI, when in fact
they are not.
These we see as only having one aim and that is
to fraudulently dupe the public into using the services that they
offer by implying that they are a member and have the backing of
an Internationally Recognised Trade Body.
The CAI Logo is a Registered ® Trade Mark
and anybody found using the Mark without permission is committing
a criminal act.
Unlike the CAI membership, we cannot guarantee
that these companies are competent in the work that they do; their
standard of workmanship; or have adequate Public and Employers Liability
Insurance, if any.
The following companies have been found using
the CAI's Logo whilst not in membership
and have been reported by the CAI to Trading Standards.
One such case resulted in magistrates imposing
a
£2,000 fine plus £848.76p costs
The CAI cannot entertain any complaints against
these companies and customers with a grievance should report the
matter to their local
Trading Standards Office.
