How to handle intimidating neighbour

5 replies

Ifonly86 · 04/12/2020 08:14

I complained about a neighbour (won’t say what as it’s very outing) to the council and since they have been made aware of it they have become aggressive and intimidating.
If I go out they come to their door to give me dirty looks, if I’m in the garden they will go in theirs and make a lot of noise so I go back inside, they have knocked on all neighbours doors to start rumours about me and now no one will talk to me they also give me dirty looks and call me names when I walk past. They have become passive aggressive in things they do. I am worried they will up their game and harass me, damage my property or make threats. One neighbour keeps blocking me in so I have to knock and ask her to move so she has the opportunity to call me names. I am sick of dealing with this when I am the victim and had very good reasons for reporting them. It is making me want to stay home more and more to avoid them all and when I go out I dread coming home. I know it’s a form of bullying but I can’t prove it unless they actually assault me or damage my property. I don’t want to be scared in my own home.
Is there a better way of handling this or is there anyone I can report it to?

Do you own or rent and do they own or rent? That will impact propels advice

Keep a log of everything and speak to the council again

We both rent, everything is logged but they will outright deny their behaviour if they’re confronted by the council. Reporting them seems to make me a ‘grass’ when I’m the one suffering.

I know it's easier said than done but can you move? If it is social housing I would make them do something. Either stop it or move you. Awful neighbours destroy your health

I am trying to move because of all the intimidation and threatening behaviour but they should be held accountable for it too

I am just wondered if and how you resolved this as I am looking for advice on dealing with my aggressive intimidating male neighbour after a couple of recent incidents though we’ve actually been dealing with it for many years.
