    unholy angel - Go read some case law on harassment, it really does have a fascinating case law development. You'll find that everything I've written is correct and that targetting individuals like this is infact wrong unless there's one specific belief (which by-the-by is very difficult to prove). And that one belief was not the reason for this thread. You don't have to actually realise you're harassing the person to be guilty of the offence nor does the offender have to be considered a "reasonable" person under the Wednesbury test.

    Someone could use your address which is on the electoral roll, to knock on your door every day at 4.30am and 23.21 and shout insults at you. That isn't harassment because that person is using public information which you chose to make public, right?

    Or maybe someone could list that information on forums like 4Chan and tell people to knock your door for fun - would that be construed as harassment, it's using public information.

    Or person A could post somewhere that there's a !!!!!phile (child lover) living at your address, and then person B uses said public data to name you, which person A/B/C/D/E/F...../Z then use to look up your facebook etc and come find you to tell you what they think about child lovers...

    All that has been mentioned so far is data that is publicly available for everyone to see already. Also it won't be construed as harassment unless op is telling a pack of lies with the intention of causing a certain person/group of people alarm or distress.

    If OP's telling the truth they have nothing to worry about.

    The funny thing about your comment is many people have been wrongly advised by citizens advice before. If you want proper advice you go to a solicitor - but in cases like this it would be counter productive to actually spend any money on a solicitor as its a pretty straightforward case and solicitors fee's wont be recoverable even if this goes to court.

    On top of which, if the other party feel aggrieved, by having their names mentioned, they will have to reveal themselves; something I am assuming they want to avoid.
  • Sir,

    I would like to inform you that your repeated communications and attempt to contact are leaving me distressed and alarmed - as well as fearing for my safety. Such as accusing me of a crime I did not commit.

    Please cease and desist immediately or I shall have you prosecuted under sections 2 & 4 of the PHA 1997 ;) :rotfl:

    Thanks. Been a while since I heard a joke that good.

    OP has issues with a company, not person/s. You're welcome.

    Until I see something backing up your opinion (other than your own opinion), I'm sorry but I have to assume that the crown prosecution service know what they're talking about - more so than some random person on the internet who has a (albeit short) history of posting incorrect information.

    If you think the CPS is wrong then by all means, why not contact them and tell them so.

    foolish angel - I bow down to your super knowledgeable superior knowledge.

    You're right:
    - CPS are never wrong and never receive calls from solicitors / barristers telling them so in which cases are dropped, and neither the CPS nor the DPP has ever been sued. What you quoted was not merely guidance for employees of CPS but infact CPS may actually make the law. Judges may actually care more for the guidance written by a solicitor for CPS rather than the actual law itself. Anyone who dares thinks otherwise is a tutored person.

    - OP may have an issue with a person employed by the company despite buying something from a company. Anyone who dares to think otherwise is a tutored person.

    - Directors of a public LTD company may / may not be personally responsible for the company's debts and so it's perfectly fine to harass a director due to some company's problem s/he owns.
