There must be something legal I can use or at least threatenten to use againsed my miserable crow of a neighbour.

[waterfalls]

To cut a long story short, she has complained 4 times to the housing association about us, all of which are utter lies, apparently we park across her driveway, drill late at night, slam doors etc, I am going to email the housing officer with a response tomorrow, and anything I say in my defence will, I expect be passed on to my neighbour, I would like to point out my legal options if this silly game of hers continues, I am thinking slander or is that too extreme? or is there nothing I can use to frighton her off?

frighten..........even

I would just say something along the lines of "should this behaviour continue we will not hesitate to seek legal advice"

or

"we are currently seeking legal advice on this matter. Any further matters will be dealt with by our solicitor"

good idea thanks

Any other ideas, I would like to look like I know what I'm talking about

you could try mediation..it is usually available for disputes between neighbours and very effective (and free I think)

Dont really want to waste my time with that, just want to write a quick email with some legal jargon in so she hopefully backs off, I would'nt class it as a dispute as the only complaint I have of her is the complaints that are lies, she never speaks to me or me to her, thanks for the advice anyway, you never know it might reach that stage

'slander' libel' harassment'

3 legal words for your email.

You could contact the police because it amounts to harrassment especially if you are being stressed and worried by it. My friend has just received a letter from her neighbour saying very similar things but also she must be abusing her children for them to scream the way they do. The local police were very supportive and wrote to the woman telling her she had broken the law by making these allegations.

I have been axpecting a visit from ss for a while for her next move, according to other neighbours she does it alot to other people too, she will even try and irate you and be ready to recoed you if you are abusive back, she obviously gets some sick joy from it.
