Abusive & threatening phone calls can be distressing soul destroying for anybody.
Being a target myself I hope to put some kind of conclusion to my harassment & gain some vital info on how to proceed.
I would like to know of anyone's experiences of taking out an injunction against a malicious caller & what happened?
So far I have reported my malicious caller to the police along with any other information they might need - I do not know the persons address & at the last update the crime unit have given me is that the calls have been made on a pay as you go mobile.
They have spoken to the caller to let them know I have reported the abuse & the calls have stopped for a little while... but now the caller has gotten a little braver & realises the police do not have their address & as a result the calls have come back thick & fast!
Malicious callers derive gratification a perverse sense of satisfaction from the power and control they feel they are able to exert over their victim. Their aim is to control, dominate & subjugate.
Responding with anger or threats satisfy these objectives and are just what the caller wants to hear & even when the number has been withheld I always answer with a polite tone to my voice & hang up with a "...thank you for your call."
Yes I can change my number & I will, BUTonly when all other avenues have been exhausted.
Now my next step is to take out an injunction against the caller but with no address how far can will it get me?
Any further advice will be gratefully received,
PM's are fine but any info & experiences posted within this topic can only serve to help others with similar problems.
I once had a phone number that was similar to a local politician. Someone had posted his number on a message board somewhere but had mistyped it.
Oh what fun, late night calls, death threats, accusations of everything from murder and people smuggling to bribery and mugging old ladies. Don't get me wrong I can give as good as I get, and had some fun at first pretending I was him and having huge arguments with total strangers. But when the phone rung late one night and one of my teenage children answered, well let's just say enough was enough.
BT did want to charge me to change my number, but I complained to OFFCOM (I think that was their name), and my number was changed free of charge.
perhaps they want to marry u and u turn them dowm :twisted:
or they found out u cheated on them,,,
well don t worry i am here for u,,, so cum and rest yr head on my shoulders n tell me all about it,,,

In the mean time a little research on the electoral register wont go amiss!
Thanks all!
the full electoral register isnt available to the general public
only an edited version is
when the forms come to your house you can tick a box so that you dont appear on the edited one, thats the only version available to the general public
Thanks SG
Maybe taking out an injunction wont have any effect & possibly will inflame the situation? I dunno...
I can hardly see the police discussing my case at roll call Hill St Blues style & it will be a low priority matter.
I do know this poor unfortunate person & I'm gonna stick it out till their pathetic excuse for a life evolves into an amoeba!
u need to get out ,,,,,, why don t u join us at the essex social????????????
um we free thus night,,,,,,,,,,
and u never answered my text,,,,,,,,
ps keep away from airportsmmmmm they nick u for yr brass with the new see thru clothes thing.
scare u,,lol party at yrs ,,,
How about putting the phone down, when they call you,(under a pillow, sofa, in the fridge) and just let them natter themselves to death? Thereby costing them a lot of money?
Good luck xx
New laws did come into force only last week and its very easy now to get an harrassment order and injunction against a person.
What you have to remember is that the person doing this probably has done it before and will probably do it again. So you have to think if you are able to stop them now you are saving some other person having to go through it.
