just tried pay my annual service charge.Tried BACS doesn’t work with HSBC or First Direct.Tried to call set in direct debit no-one answered after twenty minutes. Please contact me when you are available to take payment.

Obviously there's a simple explanation, they don't want someone else hacking the account and making payments After leaving me without lights for years they rewired the switches the wrong way round?

@WeAreTorus @TorusLiverpool why have you made paying our rent harder. We now have to enter rent account number when we are logged into OUR account. And it's not clear on page where to make card payments.

Why don't Torus reply that's what gets me, obviously these tweets wouldn't normally be public! We can see them.

gillhealey You are going to miss all the fun. I suspect you normally do.

This is a response from HAs as if delayed repairs poor workmanship no reply are isolated instances The reoccurring problems are never resolved and built into the procrastination procedure! Why don't you look into enquiries?

Hi, please can you message us your address and more details so we can look into. Many thanks

Should Customer service be able to dismiss enquiries such as Solar panel maintenance that could save lives? I wouldn't class these sort of enquiries as accountability a personal affront or critical?

Hi Donna, Hope you are well, there are obviously improvements that could be made to save cost pollution and time, Torus policy it's pop luck if the Tenant Reps think of it and approved by Tenant voice Staff.

Yea your right, but you would think we all have different standards, i couldn't not do someones house the way i would expect it, but hey ho, we only pay the rent lol x

This is the Community Torus, on this occasion suggestions will be ignored that would save Torus time, money and customers inconvenience depending on HMS status as partners or contractors it's probably another fiddle somewhere down the line.

Why ignore this Community Torus? Warrington Liverpool StHelens coming together! Torus are part of the bigger Community where you are what you are a pompous Landlord with ideas beyond their status, it could well be Torus who are rejected! Equally Digital inclusion / Egomaniacs

Reckless spending is a concern, surplus is being calculated annually with a tomorrow is another day attitude! HAs wanted to be developers and entrepreneurs! Customer agreements are legal, HAs should borrow money to fullfil their obligations cutting services is becoming a norm.

This interactive session is all about diversity in scrutiny. The workshop will explore the concept of diversity and the common saying of ‘great minds think alike’ and ask if that is something we should celebrate in the context of scrutiny or does effective scrutiny need the challenge that different views and perspectives brings they look at what can be done to improve the diversity of scrutiny panels, and how the power of difference should be embraced.

The final session of the day is our Open Space session at 6pm – 7pm and is just for tenants/residents/customers involved in scrutiny. This informal session gives you the chance to share experiences, discuss the realities of being a tenant scrutineer and offer help and support to each other.
