I am a resident of Hammond Towers
I am a resident of Hammond Towers, an apartment building in Prince George, BC. I am writing to formally address several ongoing issues with our laundry service provided by Coinamatic. Over the past two years, I have observed a consistent lack of maintenance and care for the laundry machines. Despite the significant fees we pay, the machines have never been properly cleaned. The washing machines are full of, drug paraphernalia, and other debris, which presents serious health and safety concerns. One winter, our building was without laundry services for over two weeks. When this was reported to Coinamatic, the response was dismissive, stating that it was not considered an emergency. This disregard for residents' needs is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of commitment to providing reliable service. Furthermore, there are ongoing issues with the payment system. Many residents have experienced problems with the laundry cards, including cards that do not work, fail to load, or even result in unauthorized charges to tenants' bank accounts without adding funds to their laundry cards. Coinamatic's resolution process places the entire burden on the apartment manager and the residents, offering either a replacement card or the option to mail in the faulty card for a refund. As an elderly and disabled woman, this process is particularly burdensome for me, especially during extreme weather conditions. Coinamatic’s lack of accountability and subpar customer service are deeply concerning. Their representatives often provide scripted responses that fail to address specific issues, which further exemplifies their inadequate support. Given these numerous and severe issues, I am considering organizing a petition to boycott Coinamatic and demand better services and accountability. It is imperative that Coinamatic upholds its obligations to provide safe, reliable, and hygienic laundry services to all residents. I would like to add the cleaners that come in do an amazing job. The laundry room itself is always CLEAN! Its the INSIDE of dirty smelly machines that are never serviced.
