As you may be aware we have employed and trained some additional advisers in our Customer Enabling Hub, and we have been working hard to reduce the time it takes to get through to us on the phones. We are now answering almost half of your calls straight away, but where you do have to wait, this is now normally only around 3-4 minutes. On some days it may take up to 20 minutes, but we are working hard to keep this the exception.

With the vast majority of our customers online, and regularly using apps, digital portals or email for everything from shopping to banking, the Hub has been busy making sure that we can also give you great online service and self-service options through MyAccount.

The fastest and most efficient way to manage your tenancy with us is to set up a MyAccount where you can make a rent payment, check your rent statement, make an arrangement to pay your arrears so that you don’t get letters from us about these, raise a repair including attaching photos and videos, and check the information we hold on you. It is now easier than ever to log in as you only need your email address and password once you have registered for an account.

We know that some customers do not have online access and we have staff who can help with this, just let us know and we will put you in contact with someone who can help get you online.
