Malicious neighbours reporting me

Good morning everyone,


I’m going through a really stressful time as I’ve got a neighbour who is stalking me when I stay at my partners house.

She has been caught bragging about having reported me. Calling me ‘a silly little b’ and ‘I won’t be so happy when I’ve got no money.’ So the insinuations are obvious.

I don’t know what to do or where to turn. I’ve been aware that she has been stalking me using her doorbell camera and keeping tabs on what parcels I get and when! It’s all she talks about.

is there anything I can do? Is it inevitable? I’ve checked with the local council and she hasn’t reported through them so I strongly suspect she’s gone to the DWP. She also somehow knows I get PIP!!

Feeling very unsettled right now.

    Hi @brittany_a98 I'm so sorry to read about what you're neighbour is doing, that's really not on - especially the way that they're talking about you. Have you thought about contacting the police about their behaviour?

    that's not good I've got a similar situation myself, not half as bad as your situation though @brittany_a98 i would most definitely report it to the police if it's not the council, they should do something about the issue though in my opinion, the police will look into it I'd say with the stalking aspect, I am hoping to move on nearer to family and parents I'm just waiting on the right suitable for my situation as I also feel very alone, I have family that come now and then and my carers, I hope you get things sorted it's not a nice way to live when high should be feeling safe in your own home…..

    Thank you both for your kind words. I made a police report earlier, I don’t hold much hope for this but at least I’ve done something

    I’m honestly shocked at whatever authority it is that’s entertaining this

    Just make sure you're not involved in benefit fraud, otherwise she'll have nothing to talk about you to the DWP. The DWP is not a chatroom. Unless you're a claimant, they won't even record what you're telling them, as they can't identify you.

    @brittany_a98 She can't possibly know you are on PIP. She may be guessing. Best to keep it to yourself if on PIP, don't tell anyone.

    The neighbour has obviously got nothing better to do, understand what you are going through.
