Clarion Housing Group Clarion Housing Customer Services I’ve just received my annual rent and service charge increase. A 63% service charge increase seems rather unreasonable? Virendra Sharma MP Find Others #CostOfLivingCrises #HousingCrisis #EndServiceChargeAbuse

The staggering scale of refunds that diligent tenants & residents have forced out of their housing association landlords, only to find the same 'errors' reappear the next year, underscores how systematic this financial abuse is.

Oh a merry Christmas from our property managers! Arrived today, they want it by 23rd Dec. That’s £10,000 in service charges this year! #leaseholders continue to be pushed into debt & stress over the #cladding issue. I for 1 don’t have this, I’m already in debt!! Michael Gove

❌ ... We tend to think service charge abuse afflicts larger housing associations alone, but we hear problems from small ones too.

🚩 ... The only possible conclusion is that the whole system urgently needs cleaning up! #endservicechargeabuse

Shame on Peabody for losing its way from a once well-regarded housing association. Now, it just plucks charges out of thin air and bumps them up by 80%.

#EndServiceChargeAbuse

🚩 Another week, another service charge strike!

📢 Tenants & residents have had enough of being HA cash cows.

📢 Growing numbers withhold payment when attempts at a logical talks with their housing assoc fails.
