Refunds Case Management
To Learn More About Refunds Case Management
What is Refunds Case Management?
A Refunds case covers any money owed back to a tenant — rent credits on a cleared account, overpaid service charges, deposit returns, recharge reversals, Section 11 compensation or goodwill payments. Landlords must evidence the entitlement, route the approval correctly, comply with the Housing Ombudsman’s complaints and redress expectations, and pay promptly to avoid escalation.
Refunds — End-to-End Workflow
- Logged — refund request or trigger captured into one Refunds case on Propsys360.
- Acknowledged — tenant acknowledged with the expected timescale and evidence needed.
- Investigated — account reviewed for arrears, offsets and charge history; approval level identified per policy.
- Actioned — approval obtained, payment raised in finance, BACS details verified, correspondence issued.
- Resolved — refund paid, confirmation sent, any offset applied, goodwill rationale recorded.
- Closed and learned — case closed with evidence and approval trail; refund volumes and reasons feed service-charge and repairs learning.
Refunds Case Management in Propsys360
- One record, one version of the truth — every Refunds case lives in a single record in the Propsys360 Case Management module, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, replacing parallel spreadsheets, shared inboxes and chased email threads
- Linked to the Case Management ecosystem — Finance for payment, Tenancy & Rent for offsets, Repairs and Complaints where redress applies, and Customer Portal for tenant visibility — so the refunds context is visible without hunting across systems
- Stage-driven workflow — refund requested, approved and paid with full audit trail — with due dates, reminders and automated escalation when timescales slip
- Every interaction on one timeline — calls, emails, SMS, portal messages, site visits, photos and documents attached to the same case record
- Reporting and oversight — live dashboards by team, patch, officer and case age; regulator-ready evidence on demand for the Regulator of Social Housing and Housing Ombudsman
- Resident-facing self-service — residents can raise, update and track their refunds case through the Customer Portal, cutting inbound calls and speeding resolution
- Microsoft-native and secure — single sign-on, role-based access, UK-hosted data, full audit trail; works where your teams already work, in Outlook, Teams and the Dynamics 365 app
