Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (legislation.gov.uk)
Housing Officer Cheryl Connelly was informed my son would have to remain in the home after I moved out in July 2018, until the point he could remove all alterations, garden structures, (when the weather improved enough to do the garden), bathroom alterations and a full kitchen we had bought and also had find somewhere to accommodate them. My son obviously needed to find somewhere to live and he worked 40-50 hours per week. He was also doing jobs for me in my new address.
Whilst the court case was still in action, Cheryl Connelly sent a polite reply to my letter. After they realised, they had got away with everything they did to us, and without warning; Cheryl stuck ‘a not so polite’ repossession notice on the front door. The name of the witness was unreadable on the page and was without a letterhead but supposedly signed by sheriff officer. I believe it is fake, made up by the frauds at CHA, because falsifying information is what has kept them in business.
The wording on the above document names only me and fails to mention my son is actually living there and had been since I moved in. This is a deliberate act to mislead (and commit fraud again)as they are supposed to prove the house has been abandoned.
The document above claims my son owed rent.
There is no mention of this with Chery Connelly’s *accompanying letter further down the page. They are supposed to follow a legal process but have been allowed to make it up as they go along, by their enablers.

Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 and 2010: repossession guidance for social landlords
Requirement to provide clear information about the tenancy agreement and outstanding financial obligations
20. Section 14A(2) of the 2001 Act requires landlords to give tenants clear information about:
(a) the terms of the tenancy agreement; and
(b) outstanding rent and any other outstanding financial obligation of the tenancy.
21. Article 2(1) of the PAR Order says that in giving information to tenants, landlords must make sure that they are given:
(a) a description of the rent and any other financial obligations of the tenant under the tenancy agreement; and
(b) information about the amount due to the landlord under the tenancy agreement, which must be broken down so as to show –
(i) the total amount of outstanding rent and of any other outstanding financial obligations of the tenancy; and
(ii) a description of any charges which the landlord anticipates will be incurred if the arrears of rent or any other financial obligation of the tenancy are not paid.
When I moved out my son continued paying the rent and we have never withheld rent not even when we could not live there, as we had no kitchen (see CH 6). Because I have concentration/memory problems I earlier told my son the wrong amount he needed to pay,(we used to share the costs ). CHA do not give rent statements out, unless you request them, so we did not know we owed money. However they did send us 5 copies demanding payment, 3 in one day (but with different dates! ). As soon as my son was paid after receiving the rent statement I requested, he paid the difference. It was small amounts they had allowed to accumulate before harassing us over it. I can easily prove this.
They also did something similar to the gentleman at the same time as me, who was a victim of CHA harassment mentioned in Ch.3. He was also good for his rent. They punished him, because I stated to Sheriff Jillian Martin Brown he had given me a mandate to speak in court on his behalf, as his experiences were tied into my complaint. The Sheriff shot me down when I mentioned it; see court matters in Ch.2.
CHA did not have a legal right to try to repossess. The claim no-one was living there…. is fraud. I believe the documents above may also be fraud, especially as they were stuck on the door rather than posted to us and do not look genuine. The narcissists did not like being served by the court on my behalf, so they retaliated. If my son was not so sick of this company’s harassment at that time, I would gladly have allowed them to take us to court because that is where they need to be. They would not have followed through. They knew I would turn it around on them revealing everything, and countersue. They huff, puff and they bluff!
Take note the date on this accompanying letter, has been hand written but the rest of the letter is typed. This proves they had planned to do this earlier and had typed up the letter in advance. This is proof of premeditation to harass.
My son’s car was parked there nearly every night and Housing officer Cheryl Connelly asked neighbours, who told her my son was still living there. She also tried to find out from them, my new address. The SPSO asked after I sent my complaint to them, but as they had no intention of dealing with CHA it must have been so they could give it to CHA. No doubt to try to harass further. If this ever happens again I will take all the persons and companies to court the next time round. The bricks and mortar do not harass, but individuals do.
We received Cheryl’s letter on the same day she stuck the court notice on the door. She made no communication to us prior to applying to the court. My son had to take 2 weeks from work to do nearly all the work, as I live many miles away and could only get to the property once. There was a lot of our money tied up in that house, we would not have rented in the first place, had we known how dishonest and malicious CHA really are.
If the court fails/refuses to protect us again, then I would have no choice but to respond in kind to anyone who harasses my family or myself. There is only one way to stop people from harming others and that is for someone to force them to stop. I would make this happen in the name of self preservation to protect us. After all, bullying/harassment, malicious intent to cause harm, victimisation, discrimination, blatant disregard to legislation and loss of personal belongings etc., by CHA has been sanctioned by Sheriff Jillian Martin Brown, regulators, SPSO and Nicola Sturgeons office. They can all be my role models.
One thing is certain, none of them have any right to preach legislation to others, when they refuse to abide by it themselves making them equally culpable for the harm caused.
The huge amount of money and hard work spent on the garden alterations, ended up at the local recycling centre because we had nowhere to take it and no means to transport it. The kitchen which had caused us so much hardship, ended up being stored, in my daughter’s outbuildings along with our glass shower cubicle and own washbasin etc.
We have lost £thousands due to this companies malicious intent to drive us out, all because we asked them to deal with the anti-social tenants. I wonder if all those named on this website, would like it if someone harassed them out of their homes? Is that what the public has to do to protect themselves in Scotland?
