I 63 years old, disabled, mostly housebound. I have had antisocial behaviour case with a neighbour for 12 months. My housing association done nothing, pure maladministration by housing !! My case was given to a trainee solicitor, she only works 3 days a week. The emails sent to me are more like debit recovery letters/emails. Full on attitude from staff, cant be brothered to talk to you because your not a paying customer! Poor value, poor quality and unprofessional!! Company thinks money, money money!!!! I am on legal aid but was quoted private fees if I want to take action against my housing association

Absolutely unprofessional, all about the money and very rude manner of dealing with potential clients.
