My neighbours are a total nightmare, there’s piles of rubbish & they’ve even broken into my garden to steal my bin

WE ALL know how hard life can be when you don't get on with your neighbours.

But one woman was left thrilled when it seemed like her nightmare neighbours moved out late last year.

However, she has been left devastated after realising they had come back and were acting worse than ever.

She took to Mumsnet asking for advice on how to cope as it seemed they weren't going away anytime soon.

She said: "They have filled the backyard with scrap, they broke the communal gate which I paid to replace, they then broke that, they broke into my backyard and took my bin, and went through my gardening box."

But that's not all, she said she also had to live with them constantly yelling into the early hours of the morning.

While that was bad enough she also claims they used her address to claim benefits as well as a phone contract and bank account.

"I found this out when I started getting all the debt collection letters," she explained.

But the long list of problems wasn't over - she accused them of fly-tipping, swearing at her and throwing bin bags into the street.

"This winter they must have had a blocked drainage pipe which they then tampered with and all their bath water was running out into my yard," she added.

"I reported all the issues to the council who did an inspection and said there were "significant issues" and they were taking action. That was nearly 20 months ago!"

Finally after two years of hell, in December last year they vanished and she finally could enjoy her home again.

But it wasn't going to last for long as they seem to have moved back last week.

"Tonight I saw lights on, hear shouting and see that they or other friends/family are back," she said.

"I feel hopeless, they made my life wretched and now they are back."

People were quick to take to the comments, gutted for the woman and shared their advice.

One person wrote: "I feel physically sick for you and am praying this will end happily for you very soon."

The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble

One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue

  1. Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it
  2. Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway
  3. Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating
  4. Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours
  5. Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others

Another commented: "It sounds like a horrible situation for you to be in. I really hope the council step up soon and do something about them."

"I’m sorry you are in this situation, in your place I would sell and start again elsewhere. Your mental and physical health is far more important than anything else," penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: "Where is the landlord in all of this? They're an absolute disgrace. Is there a managing agent you can complain to?"

"I can't even imagine how horrendous these people have made your life! It's unbelievable how the council can turn a blind eye to this kind of behaviour!” claimed a fifth.
