AIBU to be mad about false allegations?

My partner says I'm getting mad for no reason, but our neighbours have apparently mass reported us for littering and in general dirty behaviour in a communal area.

We live in a flat, with about 6 other people, which has a communal bin area. Last week, apparently ALL our neighbours messaged our housing agent and complained that our bin was 'over flowing and covered with maggots and mice' and that we don't tie up our bags and use other peoples bins.
Obviously i was both upset and confused when i heard this, and i went down to check right after i got the email, that our bins were both totally clean and empty! We are a small family, two adults and one toddler, and we have 3 bins. We only put out two ish bags a week, and the are always either tied, or covered over by another bin bag, if the bag didn't come with those yellow draw string thingies.

I have a a huge phobia towards things like maggots and dirt, so i would know if we had a pest problem by our bins.

I took photos of the bins the same day i got an email and sent them back to the housing officer, and they were totally ignored. She replied a week later with stating that everyone in my block has a problem, and Environmental Health will be investigating us.

Now, i want to add, that this is the same housing officer that has lied about contacting us and visiting us to her management many times, and is currently under investigation for her last lie of 'waiting outside our door for hours.' Jokes on her the camera door bell said otherwise. :'}

Am i being unreasonable to get angry over this? Its making me so stressed and upset, because i go out of my way to be a good, clean and quiet neighbour. I am even friends with a few and they have said they don't have an issue with our bins at all.

My anxiety is so bad i cant relax or sleep. Please help.

I'm confused too. So who actually was it making fake complaints? The housing officer? You didn't even mention a crazy lady next door before either? I'm totally lost now 😕

Sorry to confuse, let me clarify the situation.

The housing officer had lied about visiting, but the bin complaints were made up by unpleasant neighbour no.1 who wants us out. She's the one who walks her dog and smokes etc.

Neighbour no.2 pretended to be my friend all the while also making complaints, and she is the reason i believed my housing officer was making fake reports about us. She told me she knew everyone and no one was making complaints and that she spoke to my HO and she was very 'suspicious'. AKA she was feeding me lies so i wouldn't think it was her.

Things my HO actually did, like ignore my emails and claiming she tried to meet me, her manager has told her off for and she is being much better now.

Neighbour no.1 is the issue now. And police are investigating her behaviour, etc etc.

I just hope we can move soon.

I am trying to move but cannot afford the deposit on most properties, and the council wont have us.

crazy lady.

sorry if i confused anyone 😅

The HO has been reprimanded by her manager for being silly, but it turns out she didnt make fake complaints. Neighbour no. 2 convinced me she was.
