Hall stairs and landing - Leyland trade used instead of Dulux trade

I moved into a new Barrett town house 4 years ago . In April I employed a painter and decorater to reprint my hall stairs and landing at a charge of £880 he supplied the materials . The walls were originally painted with Dulux trade magnolia . He supplied leyland trade magnolia I was slightly concerned but he informed me it was a very good paint. Three months down the line my walls are very patchy and chalky not smooth and mark very easily even the edges of the walls look very worn in fact they look worse then before they were repainted. I could previously sponge off any scuff marks but now it just leaves a shadow. Please can someone advise me on what to do ??? I am now also concerned about the gloss paint he used again I have never heard of it I wanted satinwood but he advised me that it would yellow and his paint would not but it appears to have already help
