My update on the police is more positive today.
I’m now on my second case number with them regarding my landlord not allowing access to the property to get my belongings. I had to report online to the police that my landlord has failed to get in touch by the deadline of Thursday the 19th of October.
After completing my online report, I missed a call from the police and received a text message with my call reference number. I was asked to get in touch with 101 and to press 9 to speak to an operator.
I rang 101 and got through to the operator within 8 minutes. The operator goes through my notes and tells me that the police want to see me and to book an appointment with me. I explained to the officer I am moving around all over the place as I have nowhere to live, and I would need to come down to the station. The appointment is booked for Saturday 21st October at 9am, not at my local station, thank God.
I am feeling positive that this will now be resolved even if it takes longer than expected. I don’t know what will come of this, but I just want my stuff back and to move on from this experience which has been dragging on longer than needed by a rogue landlord that thinks they’re above the law.
