    I do know from one of their workers and another person on the street that she has mental health issues, I dont know what though but one of the workers when we moved in asked if we had any problems with her yet and we didnt so said no and he laughed and told us she was mad and that was off someone who works for them. starting to wonder why the last people moved out.

    If she has mental health issues causing baseless complaints, then ignore her and continue to live life normally.

    If you are genuinely a noisy rowdy family that's a different matter.

    Hi
    one of my next door neighbors has been funny with us since we moved in, it started with dirty looks and now shes reporting us to the housing, first time was acouple of weeks ago, she said we shouted at the children and the kids was being noisy, kicking balls against the walls ect
    My children are normal children they play, they laugh, they cry they do not kick balls off the walls nor do they be really noisy.
    We went into the office and agreed we would stop shouting and we started using a chart instead now 2 week later another complaint.
    I have really had enough of this we have done nothing wrong from 7pm at night the house is silent (kids watch a dvd in bed)
    I dont know what to do we cant keep going on like this we've only been here a couple of month and the other next door doesnt have a problem with it.
    Im scared we are going to lose are home over this and dont have a clue what we can do about it
    Can anyone advise on what we can do? we are creeping round our home already and have stopped our kids playing in the bedroom thats on her side. i dont know what else to do

    This is a council house on a secure tenancy? If so the reality is, short of significant organised crime and appalling levels of anti social behaviour, they've got no chance of ever evicting you.

    There was a programme on BBC2? this morning, called "Call the council" in which a family had been complaing about their neighbours for 12 years.

    The council installed the equipment for a week, and they couldn't hear a thing.
    It was so sensitive, it picked up the tick-tocks of their clock.

    They invited the family to their offices to listen, and they were hearing things that were simply not there.

    The council officer even went to the property late at night to listen, and the sound(extractor fan) could not be heard, but you could tell that the residents were deeply distressed by the perceived noise they were hearing.

    I would hate to live next door to someone like them, and feel sorry for the neighbours whom had endured years of unfounded complaints.

    Yeah, mad as a box of frogs weren't they?:eek:

    Mother sitting there like a zombie, 23 year old daughter weeping pitifully, Father wanting to sort them out, next door, all because of the "whining" noise from a bathroom extractor, when the neighbours used the loo....:doh:

    Then, it turns out that their own ticking clock was the loudest noise and the only "whining" was coming from the complainers.:T

    Hearing things where nothing existed....

    As you say, had to feel sorry for whoever was living next door to them, and personally, after 14 years of this nonsense, I would probably have sold up and moved by now.

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    the noisiest noise that comes from our house is the hoover and thats just in a morning

    You are entitled to live normally, so I would just carry on as normal.

    Let the landlords sort it out -if she's a fruit-loop, there is no way you will be evicted.

    A few years ago I was woken regularly by next doors music and voices. Woke me up every night. I was demented with it and one night i banged hard on the wall and next day went around to complain. Turned out there was nobody there, the man (in his 40s ) worked on the oil rigs and had been away for weeks. :o
    I had tinnitus and it is still so loud that it wakes me up most nights. If the neighbour is elderly that could be a cause.
