For a start I have no debts
He didn't know my name
His own SURNAME
The address he was at
He said the debt was rental arrears
I've never more than a video in 1990s
He said I had a baby NO!!
He got very aggressive as I wouldn't open the door just used the intercom and watched him on CCTV .He was a scruffy 40 years ish with a massive backpack and on a pushbike ?
He after he realised I was going to call the police left while yelling he would be back Monday??
Which I did after he left, a bored operator just said dial 999 ..last time I did 4 years ago they never came? long story
I think he was crook not a debt collector who saw a vulnerable target which being registered blind I am.
If he comes back should I ignore, interact or just cal 999?

TBH I'm just staying awake now as I considered their idea of coming back was to jim the door open at 4am
Flugger?
I was unsure what you meant by flugger ..and if you have any concerns call the 101 number.
That's the best advice I can offer
sorry gdjman I was disguising a very rude word describing an individual you cant use here:)
But when I post a thread on DS here it is because I am manic and need a good slap down
I did 101 thats sage advice to many who think its 999 or nothing
ima yanking your chain
but in an advice thread why did you post with no advice? you may understand gramer but obviously no ttthe basic meaning of words:)
next
Good luck
Im beginning to love you:)
If he does come back and you speak to him over the intercom, say something like "please be aware that you are currently on CCTV and if you continue to harass me, i will call the police. please leave".
I'd probably call the police back and ask if you can make an official report of some kind. Tell them you're vulnerable as you are registered blind (even if you consider yourself vulnerable or not) and that you fear for your safety as this individual has now twice returned to your property.
I know there has been banter on this thread that has greatly distractedly me from my mind crumbling mind issues of OCD anxiety worry
But thank you for your kind help/advice.
I agree with you 999 it is if he comes back...fingers crossed he wont
my cctv just streams now to a tv and dosent record since my windows 98 packed up and windows 7 wouldnt work with it..I just thought my days of being targeted by vile nasty people where over.
But a photo is the way to go the police/cpu had no interest in cctv videos.
Fingers crossed he won't
BIB. I don't understand how these people can sleep at night. It makes me very angry knowing that they are preying on vulnerable people.
OP, yes, call the police immediately should they return - and don't open your door, speak through your intercom.
skiprunner im registered blind , means you dont want me driving your bus if the guide dogs drunk to work,we are at a variable levels of funtional sight
add to that im paralised down my left side..its all fun
Don't go overboard..
It took me years and years to sort out my last bloke by the courts... I dont want another
If I survive today im off to new york
I'm sorry for your health problems x
plain text makes it hard to emulate levels of being sighted
But in truth I may grouch on the fully sighted in envy ..sorry
