To think this is overkill from the housing association/gas company?

Had a phonecall to arrange a gas safety check at my home which I booked.

I am down on my housing associations records as vulnerable as I have AuDhd and several mental health conditions.

The appointment was booked and I was here waiting. It was between 12 and 4pm. At 3.45pm I desperately needed the toilet (I have bowel issues too) and of course thatbwas the time he knocked on the door.

I tried my best to get downstairs quickly but he had gone and not left anything theough door for me to ring him and say I was here.

Few days later the housing ring to rebook the gas check which is next week.

I've just had a letter through the door from a gas company with a loadnof legal jargon spouting the housing act, twnancy agreements and talk of injunctions with me being liable for court costs etc...

It's put me in a tale spin and now I'm trying to ring round and find someone to sit with me on the day incase i need the toilet again and miss them. I have OCD and now I have convinced myself I am going to court.

AIBU to think that after one missed appointment and having already rearranged it, that that sort of letter is OTT? You would think they had been trying for months to get in the house?!

This kind of thing causes me so much stress. Don’t people understand that the human body can not be on call for 4 hours without interruptions?

I am also ASD.
