If you are a disabled tenant of Amicus Horizon Housing Association and you live in Hastings East Sussex and you have a complaint you can save yourself about six years of grief just by copying your complaint to every organisation that you can think of
Amicus Horizon - Jeremy Birch - Hastings Borough Council - Adult Social Care - East Sussex County Council - Hastings Police - Hastings Law Courts - Your MP - Housing Ombudsman.
Because it is inevitable that you will end up complaining to them all because that is how the system is designed to work. The Amicus Horizon - Hastings council partnership is a poisonous mixture if you are unfortunate to find yourself in a dispute, which is very likely if you are ever in need of repairs. The above organisations would prefer to waste a million fighting you or attempting to drive you to a breakdown rather than order Booker and Best to teach their staff which end of a screwdriver they should use to bang in a nail.
Their methods do not vary Amicus Horizon Cease contact completely including access to all repairs and community centres. You then either pass your complaint on lower down the ladder or you give up and as you go down the chain of command it gets tougher and more frustrating take a look.

If you have a little dig around and think it is strange that there are so many occurences where Hastings council have shown themselves to be complete slaves of Amicus Horizon Housing Association and none where they have actually stood up to them don`t be concerned because that is "Hastings Normal". If you are lucky they won`t have your housing and council tax benefits tampered with, or worse but if you expect them or Hastings council to actually speak up for your rights in a dispute with Amicus Horizon then you will be let down because they will not open their mouth without Amicus Horizon consent and when he does it will be their words that you hear.
The government Ombudsmans decision that Hastings Borough Councils Benefit office in Aquila House had acted wrongly was confirmed by Hastings council who accepted that they had acted inappropriately

Adult Social Care :-)
Care is advised when complaining to this branch of Amicus Horizon. Jon Head claims to be head of Adult Social Care in the Hastings area, they say he is`nt (and I don`t believe that he is but there are no adaptions without him) but experience suggests that he thinks he is. Very well known locally for bullying old or disabled tenants this cowardly bully can influence all sorts of comebacks on the vulnerable and has done on numerous occasions

Hastings Police
Thankfully remain impartial throughout it all, or do they? which can be a disadvantage in some ways if they do, because it can fool you into thinking that there is actually somewhere to go to when the "Cease Contact" policy of the Amicus Group goes to stage 2 which involves threats - bullying - damage to property - and quite a few other unpleasant offences because the police will not get involved even if you go to extreme lengths and present the Crown Prosecution Service with petitions and none of the above organisations will support a complaint to the police. If you find yourself being threatened by someone like John Head then your complaint will always be redirected back to Amicus Horizon Housing.
Impartiality? I no longer believe that seems like the biggest crme in Hastings is having a disability closely followed by being a social housing tenant.

Hastings Magistrates Courts
If Hastings Borough Council say you are guilty then that is your fair trial. No evidence is required against you. No notice will be taken of any evidence you offer in defence. No attention will be given to court rules. No penalties will be applied to Hastings Council when they lie, submit false statements, interfere with witnesses.
We filed our summons against the Police on the 01st June. 29th June they repeated for the fourth week running that they don`t have time to issue it. Apparently there are no rules governing whether or not they actually process applications. Very much like criminal complaints to the police.

Your Member of Parliament
A very good place to go now your MP is Amber Rudd and not Michael Foster who now gets used by Amicus Horizon Housing Association as a "Mediator" which is odd as he is an ex MP with a very close relationship going back years with this dubious housing Association and Amber Rudd is a sitting MP. She says that she cannot support our request for an independent enquiry into our complaints against the police and Amicus Horizon. We don`t blame her for being reluctant at least she now knows how worried vulnerable tenants feel when they are struggling against such high authorities like Amicus Horizon. Still a good place to go with the serious repair issues

I hope this puppeteer map of where not to go is of help to any of you who are considering pursuing any injustice from Amicus Horizon Housing Association. A.K.A; 1066 Housing Association. CPHA

You are always welcome here. We will not discriminate against you because you have tourettes or because you are 78 years old and vulnerable, or because you have suffered a stroke or any other illness or because you are gay, or poor, or if you have any other disability.

Where the links lead to the sitemap its because almost any page will do.
For us personally and our children this page is the worst and most damning. Everybody automatically blames the cuts for everything but this system was operating long before the cuts came along. Its sad and its disgraceful how the cheats and scammers have been allowed to take control of Hastings.

They told the Ombudsman that they do not represent Amicus Horizon Housing Association which is odd as we know of several cases where they have and letters we have had quite recently from Amicus Horizon come from Housing Law Services.
We even keep the franked envelopes
