Honestly Clarion are one of the least…

Honestly Clarion are one of the least helpful companies I’ve dealt with.
I lost my job around 2 years ago & when things became difficult, I got in touch, because apparently Clarion are there to help. Instead, it took them absolutely forever to respond to anything and even longer to offer any sort of support, with some agents actually being quite rude.

Fast forward to now; I am earning, a payment plan is in place, and being paid fine as far as I’m aware. Problem under wraps. Oh no, Clarion send me a delightful threatening letter about legal action due to my arrears.

I get in touch, obviously confused, and just get a very unhelpful response telling me I’d missed a payment (when?), my direct debit had been suspended (again, when?) and basically they won’t stop any legal action unless I pay the (somewhat hefty) arrears (how?). Oh, and that they’d previously sent a letter about this (where and when?). Obviously we know the postal service is super reliable so there’s no way anything could have gone missing or not been delivered, right?!

Funnily enough, I’ve received no notice from them about this until the threatening letter. I wouldn’t mind if I’d simply ignored them and made no effort to pay, but apparently Clarion give not a damn about situations their tenants might be in or how to support them. Long story short, if life gives you a bit of a kick and you find yourself struggling financially for a bit, don’t expect Clarion to care or help. It’s absolutely all your fault.

Good morning AM - We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your experience with us. We are truly concerned to learn about the difficulties you've faced, especially during a challenging period in your life. It is clear that our communication and support have fallen short of your expectations, and we sincerely regret any distress this has caused, kind regards, Kate.

We understand your frustration regarding the perceived lack of timely responses, the inconsistent support you received, and the recent threatening letter about legal action. We are also concerned about the confusion surrounding missed payments and suspended direct debits, as well as the delivery of important correspondence. We aim to provide clear and consistent support, particularly when our residents are experiencing financial hardship, and it is evident we did not meet that standard in your case.

We are actively reviewing your account and the circumstances you've described to understand where our processes failed and how we can prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.

Horrible Phone Service

Clarion’s phone service is genuinely one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. They respond painfully slowly, and even when you finally get through, they have this unbelievable habit of cutting the call mid‑conversation. It’s not a one‑off, it happens constantly. This level of neglect is beyond frustrating, it’s exhausting.

To make things worse, they sometimes transfer you to the wrong department, forcing you to start the entire process all over again. There is only so much patience a person can have, and Clarion has pushed that limit completely. Absolutely unacceptable.

Good morning Ramen - We are truly sorry to hear about your incredibly frustrating experience with our phone service. The issues you've described, including slow responses, dropped calls, and misdirected transfers, are unacceptable and fall far short of the service we aim to provide. We understand how exhausting and disheartening this must be, and we are actively looking into these serious concerns to prevent them from happening again - Kind regards, Kate.

Bad customer relations Housing Management /caretaking.

Regarding the complaint about having no TV signal for over ten days and being told that it was first reported on the 22/06 and could take up to 28 days to get it repaired with no fixed time for the repair to be carried out is not good .If it takes 28 days to repair that is 1 month without any service that has bee paid for. The tv licence is not free( over 10 days at the time of writing) nor is the service charge which they have so pleasure in raising every year. It is a communal aerial so it is for everyone. When we had our own aerials we were responsible for the upkeep of them I would not have been ripped off for the TV licence and the service charge If it is not repaired by the end of this week I shall put my own up and they can swing. We never see a housing officer or the caretaker. Who are they ? Do they exist? Not happy .Clarion Clowns.

Good morning Del Boy - We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns regarding the ongoing TV signal issue and the extended repair timeline. We understand your frustration with the lack of service, especially given the costs involved with your TV license and service charges. We recognize how inconvenient it is to be without a communal aerial service for such a prolonged period. We are actively looking into the delay in repairs and the communication surrounding this issue to ensure we address these points effectively. We also acknowledge your comments about not seeing housing officers or caretakers and will review our presence in the community - Kind regards, Kate.

Hollie was very understanding

Hollie was very understanding. And was clear about what would be happening every step through the process. She took my fears on board, as well as my mobility issues. She was very kind. And helpful. And has the patience of a saint in 37⁰c weather. I hope that the next team that I have been passed on to will be as kind understanding and helpful, with hopefully at least half of Hollie's patience.
