But harassment is still a criminal matter as per the protection from harassment act 1997.
Actually there are two levels. Criminal and civil. You want civil as it is easier to prove and runs in the County Court track and not the Magistrates Court track. In addition, any monies in the civil court track are paid to the Claimant but in the criminal track are paid to the Crown.

Sure it is but harassment as a case is difficult and expensive
As you have involved the police, wait for that outcome0 -
Is this something that a no win no fee thing will take on? A civil harassment suit I mean?0

The Police are not the slightest bit interested, are they?
Nor will a solicitor be. Have a look at solicitors who deal with harassment cases - there are some, I've looked at this before, because a lowlife aggressive git stalked & harassed me for a couple of years.
But you'd need deep pockets if you wanted to sue for a meaningful sum.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

No win / no fee requires ATE (After the event) insurance policy. Any lawyer is happy to run a no win/no fee case if it is insurance backed as the insurance company takes the risk and the lawyer gets paid.
Not aware of there being an insurance market for harassment claims - so it will have to be self-funded with you taking all the risk.
But the key question is were you really being harassed or do you simply dispute the facts of the event. If it is the latter then it is cheaper to issue your own claim in the Small Claims track which has costs protection.

It sent to the force solicitor but he said it was doubtful to be able to prove it to the burden of proof required. There’s several stated cases and they say that one should ‘expect’ some sort of inconvenience in these matters. Disappointing but hey.
TBH I’m not after money myself, I just want to give them a taste of their own medicine and attempt to put an end to what is plan and simple... lawful harassment and bullying.0
