In case of £ 2m fraud, the builder says that he ‘learned from mistakes’

On testing for fraud, a builder has told a jury that he had learned after being convicted for similar crimes three times with his mistakes.

In Somerset, 56 -year -old Mark Kilik of Paulton has been accused of 46 cases of fraud in the Western country between December 2019 and November 2021 – all of whom refuse to.

Mr. Killic, also known as Mark Cole, has been accused of leaving the homes of dozens of customers in disarray after failing to fulfill the renewal, with the total fraud is more than £ 2m.

10 weeks after hearing the prosecution case against him, Mr. Killic has now given evidence in the court in his defense.

The gamblers have been told that Sri Kilik had given time in jail after being convicted for fraud allegations in 2014, and was first convicted in both 2008 and 2009 for pushing the charges of fraud.

During interrogation by his own barrister, Mr. Kilik was asked why he had not convicted the current allegations against him.

“Because I am not guilty,” he replied.

“We ran a great company and tried hard,” he continued. “I am more educated, have a beautiful wife and children, I have very mature and learned from my mistakes.”

During the first 10 weeks of the test, the jury heard widespread evidence about how Mr. Kilik left the homes of customers. Looks like a “junkyard” And left suppliers Pounding thousands of pounds in unpaid bills,

He was also asked that his name was changed by Mark Killik’s name in his name and later in the name of Mark Cole.

He denied suggestions that he might have done this to distance himself from his past, and said that he had chosen Jenkins as it was his grandfather’s name.

He said that he chose Cole to match the name of his third wife and his children.

He said that the reason for his company TD Coal had failed, as the cost of epidemics and construction materials had increased.

“It was terrible – we went inside and out in trying to recover,” he told the jury.

“You will exceed an obstacle and there was one and one. There were only hundreds of obstacles.”

He told the jury that earlier bankruptcy was declared, it was the subject of an order which meant that he could not act as a director before 2018.

Mr. Kilik was also asked about several directors in charge of his company – one of whom was his wife.

Asked if he could be a director, he said: “I didn’t want to run a company, I just wanted to be a carpenter.”

The matter continues.
