Response to Reply from Accent Group

In response to the reply below, which is just words.I receive the same parrot response in every complaint letter, that projects blame onto me and showing the words that of accent do not match your actions of ignoring fire safety for years, ignoring gas safety reports for years. Ignoring everything and responding with the same parrot responses that are meaningless. Accent group are a corporate company who does not care about tenant safety and all concerns and complaints raised are responded with retaliation blame and abuse of power.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER

As the title suggests... I must say, I am 40 years of age, they have the most rudest, inept, unqualified, badly trained, unintelligible, unemotional, and dregs of society of people working for them. I am a SO model house owner. They talk to you, like you are thick, and a liar. They're snag list, honestly, my 6 y o could have done better! The worst people I have ever dealt with... they DO NOT have your back, and treat you terribly, like you are a 2nd rate citizen. I've been called a liar when contractors haven't turned up, all day, and I have been the one accused of not being present. I do not understand the ineptness of their CS services. Genuinely the worst experience I have ever had. Genuinely... not being OTT.

I have been a tennant for many years

I have been a tennant for many years, and in the main I am satisfied with my home. On the few times I have had to call for repairs, their contractors failed to meet appointments, rescheduled, or failed to show. Company responded with re-set, which was good, but should not be needed.
Latest one was an e-mail saying that a review inspection was to be made, and I drew up a list of very minor things that need attention, not enough to report as an urgent repair, but should be covered by regular maintenance. Only regular things given attention is the gas supply and electrical tests - both required by law. No inspector has been near, so I guess the regular maintenance details will just continue until they are causing major problems, and then I will request urgent attention, and be ready for contractors missing their promises again !!!

Accent group/Housing disgusting company

Accent group/Housing
Don't look after their tenants, promise to do repairs and either don't do them at all or bodge them! I had years of hell with this housing association and I'm so glad I've moved. The worst! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! fb group about them says it all and their official pages keep comments turned off on purpose. Only interested in rent! Won't help with complaints taken to a high level they say they will and then don't leave you in dangerous properties, rain water running down walls off a storm 3 years prior and still wouldn't fix roof. Ended up with gas leaks they bodged. Damp, ruined my carpets, wallpaper and fixtures and fittings and wouldn't compensate. Don't move into an accent property its so hard to get out!
