Advice on how to deal with a bad neighbour...

Drangueos · 9 Dec 2021 at 19:09

Long short story, I live in a block of flats for many years and most of people that live here are nice and respectful but now we have a new neighbour that is quite annoying and disrespectful.

Playing loud music until 3am, leaving leaking rubbish bags outside the flat on the communal area, doing renovation work on weekends, etc etc...
Many neighbours already complained to the person, to the council and to the police but nothing happened.

It came to our attention that this person came to UK from Portugal after Brexit February 2021, the person never been to UK before but managed to get a indefinite leave to remain, national insurance number and etc...
The person provided fake information to the immigration through some solicitors, paid around £2000 and got all done.
(This came to our attention via a common friend)

I never had a problem with the person as I live on the opposite side of the block but one of my neighbours that live on top of this person and is most affected by the noises is considering reporting.

Would you report? if you were the person that lives on top...
If so, to who?

no because....

I never had a problem, but my friend had... I'm not going to report... but I'm asking what my friend asked me.
My friend = neighbour that lives on top of the person.

I rephrased the question

lolling out loud. For sure right? I mean what kind of name is Drangueos? It may as well be João.

It is an anagram of something else.... oh nvm.. you probably don't know what that means

Funny how you got the name João spelled right even with the thing over the A... are you portuguese?

If your friend has evidence rather than hearsay then they should report it and provide that evidence to the Home Office.

The evidence was the person's partner actually told him how to do it and how much was to get it done... they were trying to show off how clever they are dodging the system.

This sounds like the sort of thing people just make up and spread Chinese whispers about.

How could anybody know this?

Some people are stupid, they do stupid things and like to show off
Like gang members posting on social media when doing crimes and etc

My friend doesn't have evidence, but shouldn't be hard to check when the person came to the country by the home office

If you did it, it's highly unlikely you would be bragging about it to the locals.

Well highly unlikely, but not impossible...

All affected neighbours need to get together and work out who is affected and how. Those affected should then log events as they happen, taking photos, videos and audio recordings as evidence.

If you're recording, try and get the time and date from a reliable source - such as your TV guide on the Sky box. Other time sources can be tampered with, for example clocks, mobile phones and even TV recordings paused.

Finally some good advice, I've told my friend before to make videos showing his tv guide and time.

Absolutely report if true.

I had issues with a neighbour in a flat. Ended up who's hifi was louder. Speakers pointed down on the floor worked. When I left the flat someone poured live crickets though his letterbox, man they can sing.

Someone.. right?

Where do you get a bunch of live crickets? asking for a friend... literally
(I know you can buy online, as pet food etc)

Sounds like your friend is angling for a three way with the Portugese bad boy and you, his not so bright friend. Read the room dammit

Well... everybody assumed that the person was a MAN, maybe it is, maybe not

doubtful they faked anything, I’m currently supporting my fiancée visa to live in the U.K. and everything in the application is checked thoroughly and there is a lot of documentation needed to back up everything that U.K. immigration requires

Your case is different, you are supporting another person.

I doubt they check every person that applied for the settled status, as far as I remember I didn't have to provide any documents, I just filled the online form and my settled status came 2 days later BUT at the time of my application I had been working and paying income tax on the same company for more than 5 consecutive years

As far as I know the person lied on the application saying that came here before the Brexit but in fact came here in Feb 2021

I don't have many details on the case, as my friend told me all this.
I'm not reporting anyone, as all this came to my ears from other people, I showed my friend this thread and told him to make up his mind.
