My neighbour accussed me of trying to smash her windows, said i am a drunk ,bad deibtor, theats to kill etc,,,, this was said to a police officer and i was with her when the theat of crimmal damage was made she is willing to give a statement ,,what chance do i have any advice??? we bought the house after the owner failed to declare he had a bad neighbour , we have no chance with the sellar he is old and sick

if your neighbour is that bad, Im sure the police are well aware of her and her antics. I wouldnt worry too much, as all cases go through the cps now, who I doubt would run a case like this as it wouldnt be in the public interest. There has been no damage done, and if you were all of these things that you were accused of, the police would be aware of you too dont you think?

Anyway, if you have to speak to police about it, you could also make a statement telling the truth that nothing of the sort happened.
If there is still a problem, how about seeing a solicitor for advice about an injuction? maybe the threat of that would get your neighbour to leave you alone?

Good luck _ it can cost a lot of money going through solicitors and courts but it all depends on what you want the outcome of the situation to be. another route could be to ask the police about an ASBO for your neighbour - if they're being such a nightmare, Im sure they wouldnt mind ;-) Hope you get what you want without too much stress
