Electrician lied about accreditation and did not provide major works report

Hello to the accredited electricians! I recently had some major works carried out in my property (namely a consumer unit upgrade). Prior to the upgrade I checked with the tradesperson whether or not they will be able to issue a major works certificate to which they assured me they will. It has now been 2 months since the work has been carried out and I still do not have the certificate. One of the things that came from this is that I've learnt the trader is not in fact certified, hence cannot issue said certificate. I have a couple of questions when it comes to this. Firstly, is it legal for a registered electrician to carry out major works without having the accreditation to do so? If not, what can be done from my side due to him misrepresenting himself? Secondly, what are my options now to get this sorted so it is certified? Should I get in touch with building control and see what they say? Any and all tips would be greatly appreciated
