consult a solicitor. I think if you can demonstrate that you are being harmed, you can take action.

At the very least, you can get a solicitor to write a letter. Sometimes having someone legal write saying pack it in - is enough to make them stop.

It's bound to. It's a horrible thing for someone to do.

DH and I experienced something slings these lines and consulted a solicitor (were in a court case with the other party at the time anyway) were told that as bad as it was to take legal action "would cost thousands" and "was more for the rich and famous". I'm now very glad we didn't take any legal action Smile anyway the solicitor DID say go to the police this IS harassment. We were hesitant but took the solicitors advice and the police were fantastic Smile took it very seriously and arranged for an officer to call at the perpetrators house, (ended up being a phone call as it was in another part of the country, but TBH I was happier with that).

The police rang us afterwards to let us know exactly what had been said - very little from the other side... funny how the cat got their tongue at this point Wink

What I'm getting to is the police may be able to help. Not sure if it would work in your case?

Hope you're ok - I know how upsetting it can be, you have to rise above it best you can Smile
