A building firm faked a viral TikTok video of its staff tearing up a client's driveway while suggesting it was in response to an unpaid £3,800 bill.
Kendall Contractors Ltd, based in Leeds, posted footage of builders demolishing the homeowners driveway with the caption: 'Can't pay? We'll take it away.'
But the firm - who lists its director on Companies House as Sophie Kendall - has now been forced to delete the clip and apologise to the owner after it emerged she had paid the bill in full months earlier - and the clip was actually put together by AI.
The homeowner was left furious after the video went viral and was viewed more than a million times, telling MailOnline how Kendall Contractors had left her in an 'awful position'.
She said the claim the driveway was torn up over a bill is completely false, and that the driveway was simply being repaired as part of agreed remedial work following damage caused by a utility company.
