TrustpilotI 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
Hi Lisa, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We will share this positive feedback with Donna.

TrustpilotUnreasonable
Expected to be home for 10 hours because the company can't give a reasonable ETA. Found installers have cut corners and not kept to regulations.
Hi,We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by this. The team are aware of your concerns and will get in touch with you to look into this further. Thanks, Orbit.

TrustpilotUtterly dreadful
Abosulte shambles of a company. We pay extortionate amounts each month, in return for zero responses to our emails and reports. We have had issues with doors in our block of appartments, but Orbit could not care less about this fire/security hazard. Utterly dreadful.
Good morning, I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing. If you wish to talk to Orbit regarding these issues, please call our Customer Relations team direct line on 02476 438 244 to discuss further or you can call 0800 678 1221 to speak with the Customer Service Hub.Kind regards,Customer Relations team

Whilst the engineer was courteous & quick, he never put a "spill tray" under the boiler, as a result dirty water spilled onto my towels and shelving.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. We'll pass this onto the team. Thanks, Orbit.

TrustpilotI've had an issue with an outhouse
I've had an issue with an outhouse, at the back of the property, where I store my tools, last October I was told that the roof, contained some asbestos, after a while a chap came round to remove said roof, replacing it with a plastic sheet, when the rain came down the sheet gave way soaking all my tools. After numerous phone calls they eventually decided to send a contractor out, he then decided to pin it down, I also needed 2 new doors, as they were rotten. After more phone calls, and telling them the doors were rotten and the plastic sheet was about has much use has a chocolate teapot, somebody came out from fortem to measure the doors, about 2 weeks later they sent somebody out, has far as I was aware to fit new doors, it was the same guy who came to measure the doors again, (idiot springs to mind). Meanwhile I was told that another contractor was coming out to sort the roof out, (cp roofing) while I waited in all day, yes you've guessed it they didn't turn up (complete shower) am getting really p??sed off with these liars, always saying that someone will turn up when they don't, they should change there name to western housing association, has they are a bunch off cowboys. I still have an ongoing issue with the outhouse. I also recently had a fortem contractor round to sort my loft insulation, he didn't lay new stuff he just laid the old stuff down knowing full well there was bird muck underneath the existing insulation, I think fortem is Latin for bodgit and scarper. I have no respect for this so called housing association, when they can put money before peoples welfare, greed springs to mind. Oh I forgot to say that they have the right name in Orbit, has they are not from this planet. Bunch of losers.

TrustpilotNO pride in your properties.…
It takes for ever to get through to Orbit over 50 minutes today. The Repairs line staff are beyond a joke, jobs are just pushed aside and then u get we can chase it up, WHAT AFTER 25 MONTHS, what a hideous response. Managers in other departments are just about the same, yes we live in Social Housing, so are we not allowed to have pride in where we reside. The answer sadly to that is no, nobody at Orbit gives a jot. Just like the Contractors you employ. Disgraceful!!!!!.

When ringing to sort put my autistic son account which I am the appointee .and all correspondence is sent to my address .was told they couldn't discuss with me even though my name is on the system and all correspondence comes to me .also my son wasn't actually in New rent arrears as had set up direct debit on sheet provided all different amount owing once same amount paid .then said my consent to speak to me had run out .bear in mind they had sent the paper work to my address had my name on account .asked to be put through to income .was told couldn't speak to them .also asked to speak to any one connected with orbit was left hanging on the phone .very unhelpful staff who then cut phone off so spent a hour just hanging on phone with staff coughing down the phone very bad customer service .rent department .asked me my name and details said yes it on the system. The actual print out had discrepancys when same amount is being paid each month issuesd notice of seeking possession without even realizing the amount had been set up to cover on going rent areas .feel more training needs to be given regarding the accounts of vulrable adults hence why letter come to my address not my son's. Will be putting in a official compliant gerry

TrustpilotSupport from Orbit
Very recently l received a telephone call from a genuinely warm and thoughtful person called Rachael at Orbit. Rachael outlined the additional services that Orbit offer to tenants, which l thought were wonderful. I have now been directed to more services and help that l could not have accessed, if it were not for Orbit.
Hi Stephen, what kind words! We will ensure this gets passed onto Rachael, thanks.
