A good start to a new page is rare but that is what we have today. Robert and Rachel finally move back into their repaired home in Beckley today so there will be celebrations there and Mark and Debbie move into their temporary home so that their home can be properly repaired so hopefully they will be feeling good as well. Our own situation has deteriorated following the terrible behaviour of Amicus Horizon surveyor Ron Grimmer and the refusal of Darren Goodsell to communicate or take any positive action in regards to our own repair needs, most of which were caused by Amicus Horizon themselves or Booker and Best, We did receive a letter from Darren Goodsell inviting us to phone him the recordings on the left shows the usual sincerity. We will keep trying but we are dealing with someone who has consistently lied over a very long period of time and who has refused to answer telephone calls/letters/emails for almost a year, so our hopes are not high.

We have made quite a good start on getting our house put right by employing good people ourselves, so far we have completed one bedroom and the bathroom and they have also made a start on the top landing but it has been difficult saying goodbye to some of the things we have been forced to sell.

This is disgusting and unfair. I really feel for the tenant. He had to sell his own belongings!!My son is autistic and I fear for his future and watching this and seeing more horror from unfeeling greedy selfish bullies adds to my fear for my son.I hope this tenant is over his/her ordeal from these lowlife bullies
Graeme Morgan http://www.facebook.com/1066ha
You worry for your son and I admire you for it but when you get landlords and councils who behave badly it is`nt just our children or our disabled family member who suffers most, quite often they don`t suffer at all because you all care so well for them but whoever is caring suffers because their already difficult life is made much much harder, never forget the carers because they are all real hero`s/heroines applause to them all.

Do you think that Housing Associations are breaching our Human Rights??According to the Human Rights Act 1988, it says: *The Right to Peaceful enjoyement of your Property*If any of these Rights and Freedom are breached, you have a Right to an effective solution in Law, even if the breach was by someone in authority, such ...as, for example, a police officer,

I received a letter from Amber Rudd M.P today in response to our complaints about our landlord and she expresses genuine concern and states that she is making enquiries on behalf of a number of residents and that she has made Mr Jack warren, Managing Director opf Amicus Horizon aware of these matters.I have accepted an invitation to go and talk to her in July and I am genuinely hopeful that she will accept the evidence that I intend to pass to her when I see her.
I still have had no success in contacting Darren Goodsell and I still have had no response from Anne Bird - Jeremy Birch - Jane Porter.

Darren Goodsell contacted us by email a few hours after our email to Mr Jack Warren, we are going to get our rear paths and the area by the back of the house repaired and we will get handrails but despite all of the proof that we have presented to this company some of which is on this site Darren Goodsell still denies that we have tried to contact him, listen to the tapes, see the emails sent to his personal mailbox, Ron Grimmers bullying attitude was very unpleasant to cope with but he was at all times representing Amicus Horizon and acting upon Darren Goodsells instructions. Ron Grimmer plagued us with so many fake surveys but those surveys were ordered by Darren Goodsell, and correspondence shows that.
Letter to Mr Jack Warren Amicus Horizon Managing Director. 21st/06/2010
Dear Mr Warren,
I am writing to you because I have received a letter from Amber Rudd M.P informing me that you are aware of our past and current problems.
I would like to make you aware that following the incident on our property involving you area surveyor Mr Ron Grimmer I have complied with Mr Darren Goodsells instructions and I have proof that I have despatched two copies of a recording that my 13 year old daughter made of Mr Grimmer. Mr Goodsell invited me to contact him on the telephone and I have and will continue to record these attempts but the truth is that Mr Goodsell has failed to respond to any enquiry/complaint for almost a year, the last time that we spoke with Mr Goodsell he stated that it was your company`s policy to cease contact with any tenant in dispute with your company, he said that ceasing contact included all maintenance/repairs/adaptations.
The housing ombudsman has also stated that I done everything that could reasonably be expected of me and that I have been deprived of access to your complaints procedure.
Jane Porter promised to telephone me on several occasions but never has.
My requests for repairs adaptations date back to November 2005 and the behaviour of your staff has been spiteful vindictive and in some cases illegal we have published some of these occurences and the harm and damage that they have caused on our website
www.1066ha.co.uk http://www.1066ha.co.uk and we will continue to do so until the nightmare treatment we are suffering is brought to an end. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has agreed to refer our file.
We are not problem tenants we are tenants suffering a problem landlord.
Thank you for your time
Yours Faithfully

Warning contains offensive language
1066ha.23rd/06/2010.
Looks as if we can add Jack Warren to our list of Amicus Horizon senior staff who do not respond to emails, which supports Darren Goodsells claim that it is company policy to cease all contact with any tenant who has a dispute completely disregarding the law and the housing contracts they write and give to tenants, it makes a complete lie of their charter and shows total disrespect for the Housing Ombudsmans office and all local authorities. We have had no response from Jeremy Birch who is obviously following the same company policy and Darren Goodsell says that he has arranged a survey and that we will hear from him by the 25th, June.
I have an appointment to see Amber Rudd M.P on the 09th July and she and Mr palmer of Hastings council are the only people in authority who have shown any concern at all. I cannot make Jeremy Birch support me or anyone else with serious complaints or issues against Amicus Horizon but I do have the right to vote even if I do not have the right to a bedroom or a bathroom and I am not going to vote for Amicus Horizon I shall take my vote elsewhere and take quite a few others with me. I will be reposting all of our experiences with Jeremy Birch over the next few days just so you can all see the history, and I am not a political person it has never mattered to me who runs our council so long as the streets are not full of homeless people but it is beginning to and I am genuinely beginning to believe that
a vote for Jeremy Birch is a vote for Amicus Horizon because that is how it looks.

Mr jack Warren has been good enough to respond to our complaint, it is pasted below.
Someone who answers but only to let you know that they have passed your complaint to someone who never has even though he has had years of correspondence from us.

Darren Goodsell has promised us a reply by tomorrow regarding his colleagues offensive language and behaviour, I have been looking through our recordings and emails over the past few days because I want to post some more on our site and something that is so damning as far as I am concerned is that we have Senior management Darren Goodsell and Senior Management David Chidwick both saying that it is Amicus Horizon policy to cease all contact, including repairs/installations towards any tenant who is in dispute with the company and yet as I looked further I realised that there was no dispute until Darren Goodsell advised us to sue Amicus Horizon. What a dreadful shocking landlord, they need placing under supervision because this company is run on the personal likes and dislikes of its staff members.
Dear Mr. Morgan,
Thank you for your email. For clarification I am the Managing Director of casa Support which is AmicusHorizon's support and care provider. As the issues you are raising below are asset-management related, I have forwarded them on to:

I have been holding back from posting anything because Darren Goodsell promised a reply from him would arrive by the 25th June, we`ll give him until monday then we will post.
We have an appointment to see Amber Rudd and Dr Louise Sargent on the 09th,July. I have seen her postings before on the Fibromyalgia forums with Greg Barker so we do have people in authority taking a genuine interest.
We have had no other replies from Amicus Horizon or Jeremy Birch. I have had quite a difficult week this week not made any easier by having to sell my gear to do repairs, so in order to keep smiling I am in the process of making some ringtones. I will put a download on this site or if its easier for you send us a text. Have a good weekend don`t get burnt.
Ringtone: I`ll tell you what I`m Thinking (funny)
1066ha.27th/06/2010.
I have had a few messages and phone calls from some who think that taking our complaints to Amber Rudd is a waste of time etc. I do not believe that it is a waste of time, I believe that Jeremy Birch was a waste of time and that he let us down very badly and continues to do so but I am not going to Amber Rudd with our complaints in the same way, our dispute will be decided in court, our papers are with our barrister and that is where they will remain and we will do what he tells us to do. I am not interested in ressurrecting Churchillunited so no harm can be done, I am going to Amber Rudd because we still need and we are still entitled to our repairs and adaptations and so far no one not even our solicitors have been able to persuade Amicus Horizon to honour our tenancy contract and behave with decency, in fact the best all of these together:Hastings council/East Sussex county council/solicitors/Ombudsman have managed to achieve is a visit from a foul mouthed senior employee from Amicus Horizon and an extraordinary amount of fake, nuisance surveys, I will ask Amber Rudd to help me get the repairs and adaptations that my family need, we still do not have a bathroom, a safe accessible toilet, safe access to our home, a bedroom! and that is why I am going, as for Mr Greg Barker I have never spoken to him or had any contact at all. Enjoy the football.

Do any of you remember that funny Iraqi guy who used to do the press releases? well I think I may know where he is! I have just received a reply from Darren Goodsell regarding my complaint about Ron Grimmer (Listen to recording below) This letter has the same kind of credibility that Comical Ali (that was his name:-) in his press releases. I have copied Mohammeds, sorry Darren Goodsells letter below and I have placed the recording at the bottom of the page. Mr Saeeds (sorry Goodsells) letter is exact my response is in red.
According to Comical Ami this is okay behaviour in your home
From Darren Goodsell.29/06/10.

Dear Mr Morgan,

YOUR COMPLAINT:BEHAVIOUR OF RON GRIMMER

Thank you for your complaint and for providing the recording as requested.
I have now listened to the recording of the recent conversation between Ron and Jim Cowan from Booker and Best during their visit to your home the other week.
I have also spoken to Ron and Jim about the conversation they had. As a result of my investigation, here are some of the key facts I have been able to establish from them :-

a. The conversation was conducted partly at the rear of your home and also on the pavement outside your home.

You mean in my back garden.
b. Both Ron and Jim confirmed they were alone and were unaware anyone else was listening to their conversation.
Odd considering Ron Grimmer is clearly whispering and states very clearly Less said the better.
Ron discussed options for the works proposed to your patio with Jim and then had a seperate private discussion with Jim about issues completely unrelated to you or your home.
For 45 minutes are`nt these people supposed to be at work? just a thought. Perhaps that is why no repairs get done properly or at all.
In my opinion, during the discussion about your patio. Ron made suggestions about the work he thought would be suitable. He described the options of relaying in concrete or using slabs and confirmed with Jim how he wanted to fit handrails and a suitable wall. Ron said he wanted to discuss it with you and came across as wanting to ensure we provided a patio you would be happy with.

In the second part of the conversation, Ron was discussing with Jim issues which had no relevance to you or your property. After speaking to Ron, in hindsight it may have been prudent to have had that discussion in our offices
You speak like that in your offices! so if it`s normal to you why call the police on tourettes syndrome sufferers who according to you speak the same way that you do but have the excuse of a disability? however Ron was not expecting a private conversation to be recorded. Had Ron had this conversation in Your offices I would accept that it was private, but as this conversation took place on my property in the presence of my 13 year old daughter I would say that it was not, and as every other conversation from Ron Grimmer on this property has been recorded , as you and he have always been aware I would say that either Ron is a fool or a liar.
During both conversations. Ron did swear and Ron apologises if this caused any offence to you or your family. Not to me or my family he has`nt. However Ron was talking to Jim and unaware anyone else was listening I`m getting that De Ja Vu feeling. let alone recording what was being said.
Ron assures me
but not us? that his only intention was to ensure we would be carrying out work to your patio area which you and your family would be happy with. Booker and Best confirm today that you are not? I trust this clarifies things for you. I see that Ron is a liar and   by your own words that you and your company share an acceptance of his attitudes towards disabled people and the type of language that is acceptable in front of children. However, if you do have any further enquiries please let me know. I was wrong about these people they are nowhere near as convincing as Mohammed Saeed so I cannot see much point in pursuing this any further with Darren Goodsell but I`ll tell you what I`m thinking, this is what I`m thinking. I`m thinking, What I`m saying is, Here comes another Youtube video, thankyou for letting me know the language is acceptable for public broadcasting.
1066ha.29th/06/2010.
This is what !`m Thinking!

Life is full of ups and downs... Following our terrible let down earlier today by Amicus Horizon who could see little or nothing wrong with the recent behaviour of their senior staff member Ron Grimmer, the copy of the recording that we sent off for enhancement has been returned to us this evening, there were a few areas on this tape where Ron Grimmer can be heard to be whispering but his actual words were unclear, now they are not, I am not sure if any of this will be significant following Darren Goodsells thorough investigation which I expect also included having this recording enhanced because if he did the language is similar the only real difference is that it shows without any doubt (not that I had any) that Mr Grimmer is talking specifically about me. Hastings council seem to be completely under the thumb of this miscreant landlord which leaves us no choice other than to wait our turn in the civil court in the meantime we will publish 50 adverts each day until that day arrives so that other more vulnerable disabled tenants know to be aware of this unachieving  landlord and this shoddy builder. Today we published the first 50 - 21 on ebay and 29 on Adoos.

Is this the kind of service you want to pay for?...
Is the quality of the work shown clearly on our video`s good enough for your homes?
1066ha.02nd/07/2010.
We received another letter from Booker and Best today asking us to confirm that the 17th August was convenient for them to visit and repair our path and patio. When i asked the lady not to keep sending out these letters as one is enough she queried the extra long wait for the repair but then she realised it was us. we have already waited over 5 years for this repair so Booker and Best dragging it out an extra month does`nt add anything we are not used to, it does show how petty they are though.
Mr Jeremy Birch leader of Hastings council said: "If you own a building in our town you have a social responsibility for its upkeep. The council will remind you of your responsibility and if you don't accept that we have the power to compel you to, you can be taken to court, fined or even be forced to pay after we do the work on your behalf.
Hastings council told us (in writing) that they had no powers to force Amicus Horizon to carry out repairs or maintain their property.

And now we have another one! this one is a real disgrace elderly-disabled-frightened-alone and unable to get repairs or help for no other reason than the usual, now very well known misconduct from a housing association, we are keeping this one anonymous for the moment but not for much longer. we do not need any new laws we just need the existing laws to be enforced and as more and more of these offences come to light, that is what will happen.

I will be putting another video up soon after our meeting with Amber Rudd, I warn you only watch it if you have a strong stomache because you will most probably find it upsetting.
These video`s are not staged they are almost daily occurrences caused entirely by Amicus Horizon and/or Booker and Best Ltd of St Leonards on Sea and ashford.

We still have not been able to get a response from Darren Goodsell, or anyone at Amicus horizon in regard to our:

1.) kitchen installation.
2.) Fan installations.
3.) Supporting wall defects.
4.) Damp defects.
5.) Lift Installation.
6.) Repairs interior or exterior.

We have still had no call back from Jane Porter and this rogue landlord and it`s loutish staff continue to exercise their illegal policy of no, or very very slow repairs/installations to anyone with a legitimate dispute.
1066ha.08th/07/2010.
Amicus Horizon have now agreed to complete our outstanding repairs and properly process our requests for adaptations, this is very encouraging but we have had similar promises in the past so we will wait and see what happens. I won`t be posting any new videos until after the 21st,July except for the music lessons, let us know if you want to learn a particular song.
