Hi Folks,
I was just hopeing someone could offer some advice on our issue.
We moved in to home, bought via the affordable housing scheme, in Jan' 2008. Since Oct' 2008 we have had huge problems with antisocial behaviour. We have been to the council and the Gardai neither of which seem to give a flying sh...! It has just escalated and escalated. The damage includes-
- Having our sky cable ripped off the wall several times
-graffiti written in blood on the walls
-our phone line ripped out of the wall ( on the outside of the house ) twice , the second time the damage was so bad that they snapped the cable inside the wall of the house so that eircom had to drill through our sitting room and run a new cable down the length of the wall.
-Had the 4 tyres on the car let down and the rear wiper snapped off
There is loads of other stuff but to be honest if I put it all here we'd be here forever.
Basically we want out, but we can't sell because of the clawback. We have tried to ask the council if they would drop it as we want to sell our home not for profit or gain but because we fear for our safety. But this fell on deaf ears.We have talked to TDs who either show no interest or can do very little for us. We went to a solicitor who told us that we have no rights because we " didn't ask the council who are neighbours who be" But in fairness we were 1 of 4 occupied houses on our road for about 5 months when moved in. At the moment we don't live there full time simply because we are too afraid so we stay with my partners parents.
Has anyone any idea of what we can do or how we get out of there?
