Neighbour kicked my door down/broke in

That is what you have to say to a distressed OP who has been terrorised from her home? Seriously nasty.

I had a neighbor do this, was just me and my young child.

I had been given a female police officers phone number in a previous complaint (HE had phoned them in a rage about me parking in MY parking space before, the male police officer told me to 'just let him have what he wants or your winding him up' but the female police officer clearly saw he was controlling and weird so told me to phone if I needed her) and phoned her while he was kicking screaming and ranting.

When he realized I was on the phone to the police he snapped out of it and ran away. He then tried to phone the police to get in 'his side of the story' but they already heard/recorded everything on my call.

He got given a no contact order, didn't hear from him again and he moved about a year later.

From research it turns out he is a past boxer/fighter who had to quit due to drug abuse... seems like too many drugs and blows to the head had fried him (on top of already having an awful Andrew Tate-esq self entitled alpha male attitude).

Yes, you’re right.
Of course, you’re right.
It was a stupid suggestion, I was just really annoyed about the whole thing 🤦‍♀️
I’ll ask for it to be withdrawn.

I'm still in utter despair and shock that the Police failed to attend when the neighbour battered down your door?! I know that services are stretched but what the hell?? I totally get your reticence in giving them your location so that they can rock up anytime they bloody well feel like when they should have turned up within minutes of the actual offence taking place.

A female, alone who's had her front door bashed in by a bloke (either off his head on drugs or has major major mental health issues) wasn't attended to by the Police because...??? What was the reason given as to why they failed to respond to the 999 call?

If you have the strength to deal with another thing OP, get a complaint to the Police sorted now and speak with your local councillor. Complaints | Kent Police

Edited to say that I hope all goes ok for your meet today

What an awful experience for anyone.

This is really mean behaviour towards someone who is clearly distressed.

Check your behaviour.

I think the OP was quite right to force an appointment. If I'd called the police about a disturbed individual in my house and they hadn't bothered coming round I wouldn't trust them an inch either.

Did you aye, and you went from being so concerned for her safety to ripping in to her after one comment from the op who is clearly on the defense considering what she has been through. Someone who was concerned would of apologised for the confusion re their post and pointed out the reason for it. Not started ripping in to a vulnerable woman gloating about how great their own situation is.

You're derailing the thread so best just go back to your bubble of contentment with your own life.

This is awful OP. I’m very sorry this happened to you. It sounds like your neighbour is mentally ill and unstable. I don’t mean to alarm you but didn’t the Nottingham attacker do similar things in the lead up to his horrific attack. I agree with others who have suggested to contact your police commissioner and MP and raise a formal complaint.

Do you have anywhere you can stay until something is done ?

What is wrong with you? Seriously.

Agree. You doubled down mocking how OP paid rent as well. We all read your comments.

I agree op with previous poster, I know its completely unfair and a huge ballache for you to be moved but actually I think that is likely the safest option for you where this man's concerned. I wouldn't want someone so unstable and volatile knowing where I live if he is moved. I'm so sorry this is happening.

I did. It makes not one bit of difference whether she pays her rent card, cash, bank transfer or other. You’re being nasty for the sake of it and now back-pedalling as you’ve been called out.

I'm sorry you have had such a terrifying experience OP. Has your LL any other properties to move you to?

The reason I ask is many years ago. A neighbour (block of flats) hated me on sight. He wouldn't leave me alone so after about a year, he ended up evicted by the LL. Unfortunately, for about a year after that he'd drive around following me.

The LL should have moved me first. You don't want someone that unstable knowing where you live. Good luck with the police appointment.

Your initial question was clearly aimed as you doubted her and you had an ulterior motive, which you then went ahead and revealed with your further nasty comments.

@Sparklfairy dont waste your time reporting to Crime Commissioner or OPCC as both will simply refer it back to the force. Go on the forces own webpage and there will be instructions on how to make a complaint and/or get in touch with your MP.
If the neighbour had left by the time you rang the police the first time it will have been downgraded from urgent and as time has passed Probably further still but you should at least have had a tel call from someone.
so sorry you have had what must have been a terrifying experience and hope you get it all sorted. 🥰

How incredibly scary, OP. I hope you are feeling better in your hotel room and that you were able to get some sleep. The behavior of your landlord and the police are attrocious. He could have killed you and they are not even taking it seriously. You are absolutely right to raise hell. I would complain and complain till dealing with the easy is easier for them than to ignore. The bastards!

As for barricading the door, it doesn't have to be anything big. There are small devices that make opening a door a hell of a lot more difficult and time consuming. There are like a ton of these on Amazon and they are cheap:

Ofcourse all this buys you time. Ultimately, if someone really wants to get in they will eventually. Is there a fire escape or balcony you could lower yourself down from?

Are you meaning to be so nasty to someone that's going through a hard time, is that how you get your kicks? Putting other people down?

What is the matter with you?? Getting your kicks bullying a vulnerable frightened woman? Get a life!

OP I’m sorry you’ve had so much pushback in this thread, it surely bizarre. It sounds terrifying and you’ve been completely failed by the police. I hope you get some resolution today.

I just read all your responses OP, I’m sorry that some of the posters have been so doubting/dismissive/unpleasant towards you and your situation. It sounds fucking terrifying and I hope that you can get it all sorted today.

I don’t blame your reaction towards the police, in recent years there has been too much belief in the police resulting in all sorts of crimes committed by the very people who are meant to protect us the general public.

nothing i can say or do will help you, I hope that the police are more proactive today as well as your LL

Good luck @Sparklfairy. Sounds like your neighbour has severe mental health problems.

And remember you do have a witness in the neighbour who let you stay and spoke to the guy. You also have the locksmith.
