Refund policy violates Australian consumer law. I was told I could not refund an item on account of the packaging not being intact, despite the item being in perfect saleable condition with original tags ons. I even offered to return it in identical packaging and they wouldn’t accept the return. What is even worse is that they are misleading me as to my rights to a refund under Australian consumer law as outlined by the ACCC. They are damaging the Merrell brand with their disregard for Australian consumer law and customer care.

Breach of their own policies. Awful organisation

A housing association that publishes policies it has absolutely no intention of following!Their own shared ownership policy is explicit; first come, first served, means the first applicant to complete all verification criteria. I was that applicant. I met every single requirement. The property was mine by their own rules.They breached that policy anyway. The offer was reversed in favour of an applicant who had not completed the required verification at the point the decision was made. South Cambridgeshire District Council confirmed in writing that the competing local connection claim did not meet their own eligibility criteria. Accent proceeded regardless.When I complained, they took thirteen days to acknowledge it, against their own five working day commitment. They then refused to hold the property while investigating. Draw your own conclusions about how seriously they take their own processes.Accent Housing has a significant maladministration history with the Housing Ombudsman if you check. Having experienced this firsthand, I understand exactly why.Fortunately I have fantastic solicitors through my union in the NHS who have described this as a slam dunk. Litigation incoming.If you are buying shared ownership through Accent, their published policies are meaningless. I found that out the hard way

I can't understand all the negative…

I can't understand all the negative reviews. Accent has been great for us. The rent is a fair and affordable. You need a repair I call them and it gets arranged and fixed depending on how urgent the repair is. I just want to say thank you to Accent housing team and keep up the good work. Hopefully more of the positive reviews will show on here soon.

Very poor service.

Very poor service.Dont carry out repairs and just close them as complete.They dont ever worry about the problems in the street with people parking on pavements and always say its someones eles problem but they own the street so no one else will help. They are qick at putting up service charges for fly tipping in stead off billing the tenants what dump it. Like I say everything is all someone eles problems apart from theres. I would love to know who gives them there ratings in there little book they send out to there tenants

MICE

I have a vulnerable customer who lives in Holmfield Court Bradford and some of the other customers are having issues with mice and nothing is been sorted. My customer is the process of moving out because they cant take it anymore. We are now also in the process of reporting this because no one should have to live like this, this isnt Victorian times but obviously it is if you live in this property. Things need sorting but its too late for my customer who is moving out and never will rent from Accent again

So bad I’ve been left for 13 months with leeks in bathroom and bedroom effecting all rooms apart from my lounge. Accent just keep sending people out to do mold treatment for leeks. I have puddles of water in my bedroom. Wish I could upload photos.
