Getting a Solicitor Involved

Good day, all, I would like advice. A Person or Persons are using my home address to have Evri parcels delivered to me, they then have been collected by a neighbour or someone that lived near my previous address. I have lived here at this address since November 2020. Last night an EVRI courier tried to deliver three parcels, however, my son noticed that the surname and name were not our family name, using my address as a delivery address is morally abhorrent to me.I have also received a post to this person and right RTS on their mail and put it back in the post box, they are becoming a nuisance to me as one of the companies M&M Direct said the only way I could stop this was to cancel my families account with them. I have notified the Police on at least three separate occasions, EVRI makes it impossible to trace the sender and as I refused the parcels I do not know who sent them. This could be Malicious or with an intent to defraud. The Police seem impotent.

I put a complaint in against my next door plus 5 others also complained, since they have had a warning from the court they have been making up lies about me and reporting it to ASB, I've had dog poo thrown at my bedroom window they have keyed my car put I can't prove it, they saying I'm threatening to get them beat up that I'm going to smash windows with a crowbar that I'm following them and it's ALL A PACK OF LIES, I'm a cripple I'm 54 years old not long got out a wheelchair and I've 2 grandkids age 3-6 who I totally adore, I've started a driving job as I've worked all my life until I was injured but I'm trying to build my life back so why would anyone do silly things to destroy what I've got, people telling lies with no evidence it still makes people look at you and talk behind your back what can I do for all of it to stop

We moved into a semin property in September 2022. The neighbours NOT adjoined to us has serious mental health issues. They have bombarded us with continuous complaints to the council, over ridiculous accusations. The council appear to be upholding these allegations. We are terrified if we get legal advice to stop this harassment, it will come up in council searches when we come to sell the house

Hello, I had new neighbours move June this year 2022. At first I was very helpful for them. They thanked me and got to know each other. After a few weeks they keep going on about me feeding birds, encouraging wildlife, brushes a problem. Started criticising me, telling me to stop doing things anddictating how I should live. He was quiet unpleasant and showed anger on occasion. The wife defused him a lot. Had his mother live there and she triggered him into causing unpleasant schemes. Arguing started by them towards me. I stated I am filming you, you are lying.He would stand off stating into camera he didn’t do that or this. Then finally knew I had concrete evidence. Went quiet for a week. They got contractors in to do their guttering as their house was flooding. Long story short. These contractors and he to was present smashed up our roof tiles. Tried to com me into paying them for works that they caused. Our guttering down pipewas ripped out and was actually within our boundary. They had no permission to stretch over our side. They left our guttering to flood my sons bedroom. They taped up the guttering with black tape. He closed off our flow to allow the water to run along all properties attached to us. As has been since being built 1950’s. He created a hole into our down pipe to attach another unnecessary down pipe from his side. They have put up spikes in the guttering. He actually wrote a letter demanding money for this works to guttering be paid by me. More in that letter. I have a fence up on my boundary, it’s 4ft. They go on and on trying to get me to replace it. I can’t. So he put up a steel fence up on our boundary but just inside theirs. Higher than 6ft. Black grey. Caused many issues with birds wildlife. Death harm has come to many and they have blantantly stated they don’t want any type of nature inside they’re garden. They been cutting down bushes of mine and opposite neighbours who are also up in arms about what they have done. Finally they were told to get contractors back out as our house is flooding. Same contractors same mess. They yanked our plastic and our down pipe has been moved inches more their way. Our guttering not fixed. He demanded that I am not allowed to take our fence down ever or touch the concrete posts. They have sneakily at late evening or night. Saw down or cut our bushes. Neighbours opposite our not happy and she witnessed many things he up to with how he has become obsessed by causing us untold trouble. They started planting large owls and wind mills in our direction causing us stress anxiety. They said it’s to keep the birds away but it’s blatantly obvious it’s totally intimidation. They now placed it permanently facing into our property looking straight in our living space. I strongly feel it’s operated by them as at times it actually follows me with its eyes. It’s placed directly on the fence line in to our conservatory come lounge and I’ve caught many times turning

My neighbours and I have a hedge between our gardens and I want to grow my half I do not speak to this neighbour I sent for land registry to see who the hedge belonged to and found out it belongs to both of us I told her this but she took no notice I am letting my side grow but she is cutting right up to the edge so it will not grow she is veri intimidating and always spying on me there is no privacy I have even took photos of what she has done and she just laughs I would like a solicitor to write a letter stating she has to leave my side of the hedge alone

12 months ago the house next door was bought to house children in the care system and have care/support plans, however we are had nothing but anti social behaviour, threats to kill, stones thrown at our home, drinking and drugs, calling us names, carers offering us out to fight, intimidation and harassment and noise. One resident has a caution for a public order against usand another resident is on going and that’s a section 4 for there behaviour towards us. I’m worried for my families safety. Is there advice to can give me.

My neighbour is noisy lets his four dogs bark when I go out to work he comes down at the weekend he brings his bin round from the other side moves all my bends and has done criminal damage on my property the guy is a pain in the backside I’ve asked him to stay away and stop bothering me I’m not interested he has a covenants on his property but he seems to abuse that he’s all smashed a gate he’s done several other things he’s kicked my new front door in is a pain I just need to be left alone

running water from neighbours rear garden flooding our garden coming under ground and such force even on a normal rainy day . tried to resolve neighbour being very difficult possibly their tree roots of trees just recently chopped down have cracked an underwater pipe we offered to buy the land which in 22 years the neighbour has has no interest in until we located where all this water was coming from which is from her property

I want to offer some solutions to peoples' problems. If a neighbour damages or removes your fence, bush or tree this is classed as criminal damage. Call the police. Don't worry about what people think of you, just do it! If people get noisy, speak to them once.After that just call environmental health and keep calling them.You need to do this to get evidence. Also keep a diary no matter how boring it is. If it is a rental property, email/write to the letting agent/landlord/housing association.Keep complaining to them, don't stop. If it is students you can also contact the local university/s and complaint to them. They are responsible for their students behaviour. If they are causing a disturbance the street at night, you can call the police. If they threaten, harass or touch you - call the police. If a council housing association, police, university etc. is treating you badly, contact you local councillor or even MP. Don't back down, don't fold like a deckchair at the first hurdle, stay strong and keep pushing. YOU ARE NOT THE BAD PERSON, YOU ARE NOT MAD, YOU ARE NOT THE PERSON IN THE WRONG!

My neighbour excused myself 2yrs ago of damaging her car, and this wk her new boyfriend that I know have a used myself and family of sending her and him and an ex husband nasty letters, I haven't seen them I've also reported it to the police so I was wondering if I could send her or them a letter to stop this

A terraced home next door was converted to a HMO. We have noise, dead bodies, even armed police turning up. Apparently it is run by the Home Office and they want nothing to do with it and neither do the Council. I am a pensioner and even tonight 2 of the residents knocked on my front door asking why me and the wife are not complaining about the other residents. Police have been called out but really.need to know what to do next

It's not fair and not right to make other people's life a misery.'m not in best of health and the stress is making my symptoms worse . I need advice please help

Our neighbour broke our back garden fence and cut down an established conifer tree on our side, which was in the middle of a row of trees on our side of the fence. They did not seek our permission for this and neither informed us that they would be doing this. They chopped down the whole tree, leaving a short stump. This has now destroyed the habitat for the wildlife of our garden as well as caused aesthetic damage. Please could you advise on what is best to do next? Thank you

Hi, I moved into an over 50's (allegedly) block (council) over five years ago to move away from drugs, loud music, banging shouting, noisy neighbours.It was fine initially, until the so called over 50 tenants starting moving in their children which the council have now allowed as long as they don't cause a problem!Well, I have not one but two neighbours who are causing problems.The one guy in the flat below is often drunk and argues with his mum, slamming and banging doors and throwing things around at unsociable hours.The 'kids' in the flat opposite me, smoke drugs which it often spills out onto the landing and into my flat and are constantly coming and going into their flat which wouldn't be so much of a problem, but it often happens after 11.00 pm into the early hours.They've had two warning letters from the council which helped for a short while, but I've had to fight to get in to that point which caused problems with the council as they're not going to do anything about it, they refuse to evict the kids.I've stopped complaining as I got tired of not being believed and having to fight.The drugs smell which made me constantly cough caused me to have thyroid problems which I've never suffered from.My thyroid had stopped working and the stress meant I struggled to keep a focus on my tutoring.I've had to take tablets to help my thyroid levels back to any kind of normal but the drugs problem with the flat opposite has started again, no surprise there as I even told the council it would start again as the daughter seems to be addicted and there are people coming and going into their flat again.It's horrible, as there's no one to turn to, solicitors wouldn't probably do anything much anyway so I have decided to just go public with it until I can move from this hell hole.I live in SW B'ham so am holding B'ham city council responsible as they are the ones who should be helping me (I'm over 50) and not allowing young people to stay here and cause problems.This is 'supposed' to be sheltered housing.What a joke.I will be making this public at a later stage in my life as the council need to be held accountable, they know it's caused me problems with my throat and the anti social problems where confirmed by other older tenants in the block that the two flats mentioned where 'problem flats/tenants' but the council didn't always believe me.I can't wait to get out of here as it's my only option now.

Simpson Miller is good and give good prices

I live in a housing association property with my wife and I am retired and I have never been associated with ASB in the past. Last week another tenant started arguing with my wife on the pathway to the property, this was a man in his 60's. This person 100% started the argument and it got very aggressive, the person was shouting and spitting in anger at my wife waving his arms around and looked like he was going to hit my wife. I ran out of the flat to defend my wife and I argued back and things went very nasty. The person was shouting "come on hit me then" obviously to provoke me and my wife said for me to go back into the property. I reported the problem to the housing association and myself and my wife have been accused of anti social behaviour and we have received a warning letter from our housing association. I don't believe that the tenant who started the problem has had such a letter. I am now fuming that my wife and myself have been accused of ASB. Just a warning if you see your wife is in danger of being assaulted, do not interfere this is the advice from the housing association or you may end up loosing your tenancy.

I want to sue my neighbours housing association for devaluation of my property as we have spent 5 years suffering my neighbour and her 4 unruly children. The noise is so bad that we cannot sit in our gardens at the moment and it is not just noise it is swearing and domestic violence. She has had her children removed twice from her care due to her own behaviour and domestic abuse from her previous partner towards her. And I have done all the right things, anti social behaviour officer from our council her own housing office involved, police involved etc... but I've had enough. What type of solicitor do i need to sue her housing association please?

We never had any issues for 5 years with a family of 4 upstairs in the flat above. Then a teenage parent moved on and it was a teenager's dream. Drink drugs and social parties and gatherings. Rubbish and cigarettes thrown out the Windows. Housing association aided with tenant as too much red tape. Council are even worse. If it's not a statutory nuisance They don't care. Best thing is to record it yourself on camera etc. Shame the housing association and council online. Going by the experience I've had - best thing is to give up complaining. Move or kill yourself. No one cares. No one!

Could you answers two questions on having a building declared defective. I understand that would involve the environmental health at the council and they can then serve notices re smoke and fumes which they currently say has nothing to do with them. The neighbours below me are filling my flat not only with drugs but also food, smoke from burning food eg bread, oil etc almost 24 hours a day. The police have done nothing, the environmental health say it has nothing to do with them. The freeholders say it is my problem as well and they can do nothing. First question is how does it affect noise. For example am I then going to be told that I can't for example use my washing machine because the noise is too much in the neighbours flat. Second question is there will obviously be a loss in the value of the property. Can I sue the said neighbours for this loss as they are causing the problem. Thank you.

Are there any good solicitors for nuisance neighbours.

Hello I live in a council flat and the neighbours in the flat below who moved in 3 years ago have complained about alleged noise from my flat ever since they moved in. They have shouted out the window in the middle of the night distressing us and also other neighbours in the building and they have also banged and shouted through my door many times. I complained to the council about this unreasonable behaviour and the neighbours downstairs were told to stop this behaviour by the housing officers for the building.The housing officers visited my flat and took pictures of my floorring. The housing officers also told my neighbours to get an independent witness to their flat from the council to witness the noise. Which they never did. Now we have 2 new housing officers so the whole noise dispute has started up again from scratch, much to my anguish and distress. These 2 new housing officers seem to be on the side of the neighbours who are complaining, although they insist they are neutral. The new housing officers demanded that I an come into a meeting with them to discuss the neighbours complaints against me, and they asked me what I think should be done. They suggested mediation but I said I dint think that would solve this problem as my neighbours will not listen to me, when I try to explain that I am not making noise. Due to their abusive and aggressive behaviour towards me banging on my door and shouting through their window I really dont want to meet with them or have anything to do with them. The 2 housing officers demanded entry into my flat to look at the flooring (again) and I told them I am having surgery and really need to have some peace and not be harrassed. Now we have the virus pandemic so I dont have to let these housing officers into my flat but they are phoning me, and I dont want to answer their calls, and also they cant leave messages on my phone as my phone is set up so I dont get voice mail. I feel that I ma being victimised and harrassed by my neighbours and also by the council housing officers. What are my rights in this situation?

My next door neighbour has been making personal comments to me very early in the morning. He asks me if he could come ???? of me. Other gestures have been also made. I need to take legal advice.

My next door neighbour at 17 hindon walk is abusing me and making me feel uncomfortable! He always spreading hate against me to other people and discriminating against me I've done many complaints to council about this guy but he don't know when to stop and he bangs on the wall alot and do alot trouble! I don't know what else I can do! And dumping his rubbish in my bin

Hi i have purchased some land that i was interested in getting planning on the only neighbor backing on to the land has gone on to my land and cut all the tops off on my trees so it is now inlne with my fence who can i talk to for advice?

Hi we really need some advice about taking our local council to court for neglect. From Dec 2017 we have been harrassed by our neighbours. We have done everything asked of us e.g.. keeping diary reporting to the police and updating local housing officer about every incident. The on going harrasment has took it's toll on our health and I have lost my job, I was working full time and my husband is on long term sick due to all the stress it has caused us. On veiwing our home an argument broke out between some off the neighbours and the housing assured us it was just a one off and everything would be ok.. We moved in September only there 2 and a bit months then it started. Constantly banging up screaming at us when we got up for work leaving me to get ready for work in our hallway. Soon as we got home from work loud music hearing songs word for word whole flat shaking. Every time we had a visitor we was subjected to loud music. Every time any of our grandchildren would visit ( every fortnight) same thing swearing up at the children all under 6 years to "f$#king shut up banging up at us. Even attacking visitors coming out to us as we are leaving our home screaming that she is gunna batter me even screamed and banged up when my friend came to pick me up for my father's funeral because she had heels on and she herd my friend walk across my living room floor then on leaving chased us out opened my friends car door and hit her then tipped all the bins over that other neighbours had put out for bin collections that morning. She screams up at us stands in our garden looking up at our window let's her dog poo in or garden, we have her on our CCTV doing all this we even record ourselves as she makes false claims. She has told other neighbours that we are either informants for the police or we are perverts having CCTV! She has called my son a pervert when he was cutting the grass for me even though his girlfriend and 3 kids and myself was also in the garden. We don't know what to do as housing officer never gets back to any voicemails or emails it took 9 months to do our moving in check that should have been done within the first 4 weeks of moving in! Nothing council have said they will move us but when? this has been going on for 14 months now. Apparently not much can be done because she is still under social services. Well what about us I have a anurysum suffer with anxiety and stress and my husband is losing weight rapidly, stressed and depressed too. How can we just be left like this when every day runs a risk we share communal garden gate and we have to go past 2 of her doors to get to our door it's hard when all she wants to do is fight me or anyone coming to and from my home mostly our daughter pulling her up when going to local shops even opening her window to tell my daughter to keep her daughter quiet (She is 3 years old) and that she is getting her baby to sleep yes the same baby that is with her every time she is banging make treats outside ou

Hi I have a rogue neighbour who is intentionally parking full length of the car 24x7 across dropped kerb so as to cause inconvenience getting in and out of a semi-detached house. I've to make many manoeuvres and drive over the kerb hardly to make it in or out. Though there is a clear case of obstruction and inconvenience caused can't seek legal help. Any advice would be appreciated. He has recently been warned on my complaint by the council for trespassing, harassment and right of quite enjoyment so is the outcome.

We have wonderful views from our home and our neighbour has planted trees along his side of our boundary fence. These are now reducing and slowly obliterating our views.Is there any action we can take as a friendly word has produced a response they do not intend to do anything.
