EvDeN eVE NakLiYat<\/a> other accounts and clients then had further frustrations with needing to wait for works to re-commence, and the investor pulled out due to there being so many issues,’ said Ms Eva.\u00a0<\/p>\n‘If the fraud case was not on the account, the funds would have gone through and we could be in a position to resolve any company conflicts.’<\/p>\n
She added that the kitchen was ordered through Howdens but Eva-Lution was waiting for the investment to come through before the kitchen could be obtained.Eva-Lution offered to pay Ms Morris \u00a324,544, which Ms Eva described as a ‘fair refund’ due to work already completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This included the purchase price of the kitchen which, due to the issue and us not being able to obtain the investment funds, was not settled,’ said Ms Eva.<\/p>\n
Ms Eva claimed funds had never been taken from clients to cover business overheads but she said Eva-Lution was hit by the alleged fraud of another company.<\/p>\n
She said:\u00a0 ‘Due to the situation we found ourselves in…direct debits and standing orders of Eva-Lution were still being taken from our account which ate into funds we had received from clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This is not how we have run the company through the duration. However, due to the circumstance\/situation this is what happened.Again, this is why Ms Morris was offered the settlement figure, to cover this cost.’<\/p>\n
Ms Morris, who claims her home needs around \u00a340,000 worth of repairs, has declined the offer of \u00a324,544 and sent a letter before action to Eva-Lution, which has begun the process of liquidation.<\/p>\n
‘It was never our intention for the company to go into liquidation,’ said Ms Eva, but she confirmed there have been other threats of legal action and described liquidation as ‘our safest option as a company’.<\/p>\n
Ms Morris has been relying on a microwave and air fryer to cook since moving in. ‘When I moved in, I was only expecting to live like this for a week,’ she said, adding that upcoming repair costs will leave her struggling financially.<\/p>\n
Aside from the kitchen, Ms Morris claims a downstairs toilet and vanity unit are among the items paid for but never installed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms Eva defended her company’s work which she says included new internal doors, plastering, painting, electrical works in the living room, a new upstairs bathroom, new radiators, rubbish removal, new light fittings, fitting of blinds supplied by Ms Morris, wardrobe work, re-routing of drainage and plumbing, and the ‘beginning of the extension’.<\/p>\n
Ms Eva added: ‘If there was an issue with the quality it should have been brought to our attention before now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Ms Morris was offered for the staff to return to the property before Christmas, which she denied and advised she was taking legal action and we were not to return.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
