Impeccable service

The service provided was a non-judgemental service and Jacqui was not biased she was open as to what I could be offered and what and how Orbit could help me. I was so grateful to have been served by her as I had never been in a position in life where I had to ask for help but circumstances have put me in such a place of hardship. If the caliber of customer service was completely like Jacqui then more customers like myself would feel optimistic about a better tomorrow. Thank you Jacqui and thanks Orbit housing for employing such a wonderful member of staff.

Its not the warmest time of the year so why wont Orbit fix my heating. Kids living in freezing conditions, no hot water.. 6 weeks and they do nothing. Obrit ? you are in outer space alright. Can YOU Orbit tell me if it is legal to leave us like this? Or should I ask the authorities?

I was finally listened to by someone

I was finally listened to by someone. Donna understood that I'd been passed around from one person to the next and could see the issues hadn't been addressed and agreed that I hadn't been treated properly.She was very kind and helpful. She seemed to really understand the situation

There is help available….

Thanks to Donna … I didn’t realise orbit could support its residents, there are many departments that can offer support and I’ve found the support very good and being able to talk to someone who can advise you and just knowing there is help out there makes the stress of everyday issues extremely helpful .

Have been trying now for over 12 months…

Have been trying now for over 12 months to get Orbit to sort out a leaking roof. Flat is damp and mouldy and water stains on the walls. Orbit have come out to the flat a couple of times to inspect but nothing ever gets done. I have lodged another complaint today and also one with the Housing Ombudsman. Hopefully that may get Orbit's attention.

I just wanted to review orbit housing…

I just wanted to review orbit housing association. My kitchen window cracked last December, it was eventually fixed today, 7th March 23. It was a long wait with several cancelled appointments by the contractor. In fairness to orbit customer service they did their absolute best for me and tried to bring the work forward but the contractor wouldn't allow it. They even compensated me because of the wait. I have a disabled son and orbit have been fantastic to us and very supportive with their safeguarding team. Orbit have been very helpful.

I Write this on behalf of my 87 Year Old Mother who i care for..One Star is too much. Orbit have messed my Mother about for 5 MONTHS. A Simple request to make sure her Hot Water Tank is connected to Economy 7 Electricity as she has various Health/Medical Conditions. I can only say constant lies.. Calls not followed up..Contractors/Customer Services Customer Relations. 5 Months of excuses lies to be told off loaded saying the Service Provider British Gas are now responsible when I know this untrue. Hours on the Phone to Orbit. Now Job closed..Absolute Shambles. No service. No response. A Very Unhappy Customer....

No support

Hi My fiancé who lives in Coventry in Katie LewisFLAT 5 CEPHAS COURTCHARLES STREETCOVENTRY CV1 5BFHas had no heating for the whole of winter ! Her housing association has sent engineers out 6 times to fix heating every time they say they can’t fix it and just leave her with an electric blow heater!! Today they sent another engineer ( gas) to fix an electric boiler!! The guy was gobsmacked she had been left with no heating all winter with two small children! I visited the flat and found mould everywhere! Above one window was a 20kg bit of render that could of fallen off and killed or serious hurt one of the children , I made her make a complaint to environmental health as these issues are dangerous, since she did that she has been threatened with eviction saying she hasn’t allowed access  to flat to sort issues! She has! Stay’s in every day waiting for issues to be fixed! Toilets don’t flush !!! Hob doesn’t work And she’s constantly fobbed off!! The Damp in the place is off the meter!
