Another Failure by an Ombudsman
I raised a a approximately twenty page complaint against our local Housing Association and before I even placed the complaint I had raise a complaint against the Ombudsman for failing to reply to emails in the times they stated on their website It has been months since presenting the complaint to the Ombudsman I received an email stating confirming that accepted my complaint and it would take twelve weeks to reach a decision

What has happened to The Housing Ombudsman This System Is Rotten
What has happened to The Housing Ombudsman It is now taking an unreasonable length of time years for you to start investigating serious complaints about social housing landlords serious complaints are now being left for years before any investigation even starts this is totally unacceptable It seems as though The Housing Ombudsman is now colluding with social housing landlords against tenants I am now very suspicious of The Housing Ombudsman and how fair or impartial they actually are I can see from the countless other negative reviews that the public feel the same way and are feeling completely let down by this so called service All of The Ombudsman services are not fit for purpose they are all corrupt and need investigating and closing down The British public deserve a fair and impartial service that investigates their complaints honestly This system is rotten

Don t bother get a decent solicitor instead
Our landlord is trying to build flats on our flats It s been a disaster They have broken our roof I ve been in temporary accommodation for most of the year except a period over the summer when I was made effectively homeless as my landlord refused to continue to provide temporary accommodation despite water coming through the ceiling I referred the matter to the ombudsman but they have taken no action I would advise finding a reputable solicitor to take a no-win-no-fee case instead

HOS indifference to 14 year old safety issue
On Sat 11th January residents at our property in London W14 will record the FOURTEENTH ANNIVERSARY of an official notice produced by the Landlord s agents on 11 Jan 2011 This letter outlined problems with possible fire hazards and other health safety issues associated with a basement dwelling Despite the HOS making a decision of Severe Maladministration on 13 Sept 2023 69 weeks ago the internal remedial works remain outstanding The Ombudsman has disregarded numerous multiple written reminders of the extended delay Nor does the HOS appear capable of exerting any pressure on the Landlords to begin the repair work
