The Arch Company are a complete and utter disgrace. They failed to collect a 3 month period of rent from my business account in March 2024, despite a direct debit being in place. They then took EIGHT months to notify me- I had missed it, why would I check when a DD is in place? They presented me with a double rent bill in January of this year- well over £4k. I emailed and rang a number of times requesting a call back to discuss payment via instalments. The female who deals with these matters completely ignored my emails, and never responded to a number of answer phone messages I left. I paid the outstanding sum in June- when I had the spare money available. Without contacting me, and ignoring multiple attempts to contact them to discuss the situation, the AC employed a debt collection service. I rang the female staff member on FOUR consecutive days- left messages, and she never contacted me. On the fifth day, I rang a switchboard number and the guy put me through to 'A' on her direct line. I explained that I felt very aggrieved by the whole scenario, and pointed out that numerous emails and phone messages were ignored. She agreed to contact the DC company and tell them to suspend the £300+ fee they want to extort from me for doing absolutely NOTHING. 'A' asked me to submit an email to her stating my case- which I duly did. To date, she has neither acknowledged receipt, or contacted me to update me. The DC have emailed me demanding their fee. I have again emailed 'A' today requesting an immediate update. I will be ringing her direct tomorrow to pursue this matter. The Arch Company ignore emails, phone messages and they actively avoid communication. It is completely unprofessional behaviour. My advice to anybody considering taking a tenancy out on one of their properties is DO NOT DO IT. They are an abysmal company and they treat tenants with contempt.
