I live in an EOT house, at the side of the house is an open narrow stretch of grass which is on my plot, but has no fence (New build type house).

The house three doors down was recently sold to a housing association with associated scum now moved in. Boy, girl, three kids under 10 all on dole.

Today the kids are outside kicking their ball against wall, car, and window. I go out and ask kids nicely not to, and they tell me to fk of (6-7 yr olds) So I knock on the parents door and ask nicely to stop the kids from kicking the ball against my house and car, parents then tell kids not to. Five minutes later, ball is being kicked against car door windows, I go out again, speak to parents nicely but this time get attitude from the wife, so I tell the husband to reign in his wife and kids or I will "put his head through the fking wall" at which point he loses his bottle. So far alls well and no more noise, but I dont expect it to last. Apparently they are going to get the family or someone round to sort me out.

You just cannot achieve anything by being nice these days, voilance and bad language is all these scumbags understand.

We had a similar family of scutters whose garden backed on to ours, and the kids were forever kicking the ball against the panel fence, making a right old noise, and damaging it. Invariably, plenty of balls came over the fence, landing in the pond, on the rabbit hutch, on the car etc.

I made a small cut every single one before lobbing it back over the fence, and took great amusement at hearing the kid whinging that his balls don't bounce any more. The parents stopped buying new balls for him eventually.

Result.

A few months later the parents were both done for benefit and insurance fraud, husband got 8 months, wife and kids rehomed in a sink estate.

Double result.

The guy who has now bought the house outright has just bought an Elise.

Triple result.

It's not just chavs, you get this from wannabe-middle classes as well .. though i suppose one thing they have in common is that their extended family (which they often use as the 'threat' because they lack, erm, balls) do resemble the unfortunates in that infamous 'Liberal Democrats' poster.

Worst neighbour I had purposely directed footballs and cricket balls into my garden on the pretence that it was their kids playing. Think i donated approximately 30 new footballs to a local charity that year. thumbup

Report them to the housing association, they are usually quite strict with tenants who don't behave themselves. We had a family evicted nearby for the same last year.

Do people have a dole-o-meter.

No matter how many times I look at someone I can't work out if they are on the dole yet PHers have the skill of mystic meg.

I'd have taken the ball though.

How do you find out which housing association it is. It is only the poor cow who lives next door to them that says they are HA scum, and that they are on the dole. Which is I suppose how you get a free £200k house.

Taking the ball is a great idea, there's a huge guy lives across the road, I think I will kick the ball through his window, then blame it on the kids. Ave It !!!

I'd do that.

Some go overboard. We had a house where we had a shared courtyard with 7 garages. At the end of the court yard was a strip of land maybe 5 foot wide backing on to the settle to carlise railway. I knew I did not own it so I rang the builder, who thought it belonged to one of 3 houses he'd sold to a housing association. I rang them to ask if they wanted to sell or rent it to me as I could cultivate it with vegetables and flowers. This guy immediately went overboard and sent each of his 3 tennants a reminder that they had a responsibility to be respectful neighbours and help keep comunal land free of weeds.

Yup we're suffering this sort of issue, people defaulted in the semi next to us around 3ish years ago. House was empty for ages, despite someone who we sort of know trying to buy it & getting the run around. Then a young lass moved in with her daughter, they were no problem at all.
After six months she moves out & a family move in with 7 kids. They are as noisy as hell, gobby & swearing. Rubbish everywhere,including blown into our garden. Effectively living & acting like Pikeys.
My wife has had one run in with the mother who was pissed at the time & was abusive & exposed herself to my wife. The older one has chavy mates who come calling with the typical french ste with banging stereo etc. They arrived home today with a motorbike so we'll see what that brings. We are dreading the school hols :-(
One thing I can't understand is who sold it? It doesn't appear on the Land Registry as sold since the people who defaulted bought it.
Also how do you find out who is the housing association?

Not going to work is the usual give away.

Wearing a track suit all day, saying "innit" and having a surplus of rude and obnoxious kids usually confirms it. Of course he could be a professional footballer, but then he'd be living in some gaudy great heap of a house and have a Ferrari with a tacky private reg, which I'm guessing the OPs neighbour doesn't.

I bet the mother also said something like "yeah, that's kids innit? Can't stop 'em playing." Which is the defence used by every scroat mum in the world for her kids unacceptable behaviour.

Zen.

Quite possibly the creditor who reposessed it have let it out to the DSS as an interim measure?

The OP needs to buy a dirty raincoat and a pair of NHS spectacles held together with sticking plaster, then stand outside his house with his hands down his trousers, looking longingly at the aforementioned kids.

That'll scare 'em off.




I can't guarantee this wouldn't incur some kind of retribution from the parents though. The usual caveats apply; Don't run with scissors, look both ways before crossing the road, your home is at risk if you fail to keep up payments on any loan secured on it, don't eat yellow snow.

They usually just sell them on as soon as possible, but at the moment who knows? Maybe they figure they will get more of their money back this way, and hopefully sell in a better market a couple of years down the line?

If I was taking care of defaulted debt at the moment, I'd think the DSS is probably about the best credit risk out there right now.

I'm sure I heard of a building society doing something like this a few years ago, though not with DSS I don't think

My first house was an equity share through a housing association.
