Entitled odd neighbours

[Lesleyann2413]

I accidentally posted in the wrong place so here goes again. I moved from a private rental due to landlord selling into a council property that seemed to be a nice area but neighbours on each side don’t like me.

we are quiet it’s just myself and 11 year old daughter but she got her period and has had a couple of melt downs. She had one at 8.30 and the neighbour came and threatened to punch my lips off and reverse into my car if I didn’t shut my kid up. They have a 3 year old and are constantly shouting and screaming. He called the police who did well fare check when we were sleeping and had no issues. However I have him on my door bell cam and they asked me to send it. They’ve said this is a public order offence and he will be charged so now I am getting a bit scared as he is huge. The neighbour on the other side appears to be an alcoholic and has accused me of being a police woman or social worker. They’ve told me everyone hates me and they’ve started a Facebook group about me.

we don’t do anything wrong my child is with her father 3 nights a week and I am in bed for 9.30 for my busy job. Apparently I can’t be moved due housing crisis and I’m on the swap site but not getting anywhere ever though I have decorated my home to a good standard. Anyone else been dealing with this level of crazy?

Hi I'm new here but saw this post

Was in a similar situation before only was just me and my partner in the property

Rave music every night, drugs at the property going on and like you was told neighbours hated us as soon as we had moved in.

This is one of the most difficult situations to resolve trust me. Building a case is very difficult and ultimately we tried but we're forced to move in the end.

It started affecting my partner's and family members health so I cut my losses and moved.

If this were to happen again though, don't listen to others peace advice on here, the council are a load of rubbish and do nothing to assist, ask for evidence that is just impossible to capture at the times they want, we got the police involved he was always out when they came to question him....

Honestly if I was in the same situation again I should've done what I wanted to do in the first and give him a good hiding, police won't do anything unless a crime is recorded, councils are weak and don't enforce.

Make their lives a misery instead report the alcoholic to police and claim you have seen bottles around the property and you fear for your kids safety

As for the big chav, there's ways and means of dealing with people that act hard in front of women, plenty of people will take £100 to hospitalize him just need to know where to look there's always someone bigger

They will force you out unless you stand firm

Good luck

Don't give up your council house. It's harder to get another. Just keep reporting any threats etc. They will soon do something about it.

At a risk of getting flamed, Council estates do house a lot of trouble makers.

And i have lived on them all my life

I have seen time after time, good people be driven out of their homes Four families in seperate areas that i know personally have been driven away

The thing is, the Council will only house the most vulnerable in society and a proportion of these have severe and enduring MH conditions that don't only affect them, can make some people violent towards others.

I could tell you several stories but dont want to out myself - however, what i woudl say is move, you won't win. You try and fight this and you will oepn yourself up to years of hassle, diary keeping and potential physical attacks

Wow!

Good idea, and free all the other animals.

Report the Facebook group. Tell them all you are leaving and get out. It sounds very toxic to me and unsafe

Thanks for all your messages, i am looking to go back to private and also chatting to people on the exchange site.

spoke to the safe living team and they said to keep a diary etc. He has stayed away from me since then. I do not think hes dangerous he just thinks he is clever because it’s me and my daughter. I have had a male friend paying regular visits just to make his presence known and he has scurried off with his head down.

im certainly not snobby in anyway but these people are bat shit to me. My daughter knows now that she has to keep her voice down and she has but what a way to behave. I agree the zoo is a good place for this ape.

You can either do one of 2 things here. You can try and be nice and start again. Maybe take over a crate of beer or something as a peace offering. Say something like "oh a friend bought this over but I won't drink it, would you like it". See how they react?

Or you can go the opposite way and shout back at them! Stand your ground and show them that you are not someone to mess with. Tell them the next time they come knocking you'll be fucking ready, record the whole thing and you'll call 999 and follow through with everything. Tell them if they key your car you'll take a fucking knife to their tyres... tit for tat crap is sometimes needed with neanderthals like this!

Maybe try kindness first, then you can show the council that you did try a calm resolution to begin with.

Don't move, you'll regret it! Council housing is such a struggle to get, private renting is so expensive and risky.

I know everytime I have booked in a viewing for private they ring to say it’s gone and cancel it. A lot of private landlords are selling and the last time it happened it was so stressful. My friend offered to go to his door and have a word but I said no because he has cameras everywhere and if he was threatening to my friend I don’t think it would end well.

i am chatting to people on the exchange site and have a viewing for a nice place on Saturday but it will make our lives more difficult for work and school but maybe it will be worth it.

I have had 2 couples view mine, there places were not suitable but he will be watching on his camera. So you can have me and my daughter who has had 2 meltdowns in 2 months or you can have a family with 2 kids under 4 and see how much you enjoy their noise. Absolute dickhead.
