It started really back in 2006, when I moved to Leather Lane. Mr. Grimes, from Imperial Property, (the Landlord company), wanted to keep the original of my tenancy-statement, from the shared flat, in Mandeville St., in Walton, where I moved to when I got employment at Arvato, in the automn of 2005. There it wasn’t fun to live, people stole my food, woke me up in the middle of the night to get cigarettes and some people didn’t pay for electricity, etc. The landlord, (John, who has a furniture store in Breck Rd., I think it was), took away the heather in my room, for ‘refurbishment’, or something, so I had a cold winter, without any heating in my room. So I wanted out of that place. So I let Mr. Grimes have the statement. I was a bit desperate to move, due to that it’s quite cold not having heating in your room. Also, the garbage-throwing arrangement in 5 Leather Lane, are hillarious. One have to walk trough a restaurant/pub-patio, where a lot of people in suits etc., sits to drink imported lager or to have a meal. It’s degrading to live there, I’d say, due to the placement of the garbage-bins. The boiler wasn’t fixed for two years there, and when the washing-machine also broke down, I kept some of the Housing Benefit, (I got constructivly dismissed from Arvato and have an employment-case), and bought a washing-machine. The tone between me and the Landlord-office was a bit heated. I went there to pay the rent since there were also other problems I could discuss at the same time, like disrepair. And I was a bit in arrears with the rent, so I thought it would be more polite to show up at their office in person. Then Lorna sent George, from their Preston-office to collect the rent, for some time, on my door. George, (I don’t think I got the last-name), never where there on the agreed dates, so I had to go to the bank all the time to withdraw and deposit the rent. Some, (or perhaps all, this is some years ago, so I don’t have all the receipts yet), of the money George collected aren’t on the statement. So it’s a dispute between me and the landlord, regarding many things. Mr. Grimes said he would go to my flat to give me a ‘special gift’. I’m a bit vary about Mr. Grimes and Lorna due to that they kept the original statement, and have acted very strange when I have called. Once I called Lorna if she had gotten an envelope with money for the rent, which I put in their letter hole in the wall. Since they closed earlier than I thought. The next working day I called them to check if they’ve gotten the money, and Lorna said I shouldn’t put envelopes in their hole in the wall, due to that ‘the children could find them’. In an office? That really freaked me out. So both Mr. Grimes, Lorna, George and the garbage-throwing-arrangement really freaked me out. The dispute was taken to the County Court. The County Court didn’t send me a letter about a court-hearing. (Or at least I didn’t get the letter). I complained about this, to Admin Appeals, and didn’t prepare for the next hearing, since I’d frozen the process, I thought. (The court called me three times about these hearings, while I told them I wanted this in writing). I also complained to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, (who I also update now). But the Liverpool County Court, ignored my complaints, and on Wednesday at 1 PM., the Bailiff and the Police where at my door. I didn’t expect the Police, only the Bailiff, and I thought he didn’t have the right to throw me out, after I’d complained to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, so I put a sofa in from of my door, on Tuesday night. The Police and the Bailiff had keys to my door, but couldn’t get in due to the sofa. I complained again to the IPCC and the Parliamentary Ombudsman, while the Police and the Bailiff tried to get in. I handed the Police printed copies of these complaints through a slight opening in the door. The Police just removed my enterance-door, after I’d given them the letters. (Probably with some tools etc). The Police were also shouting and hammering on my door, even if I told them I’d complained to the Parliamentary Ombudsman and told them to leave me alone. It was horrible with all their noise etc., so it was a bit uncivilised I think. The Police were at my door two times, in March, with stun-guns etc., due to that some readers on my blog had told them I’d bought an axe, for self-defence, (since I thought Mr. Grimes was threatening me). I used to be in the Home Defence in Norway, so I’m used to having a machine-gun in my home, and thought it was calming having an axe in my appartment, so that I could defend myself in case something happened, and the axe could also be used as a fire-axe, in case of a fire, etc. An in-expensive axe from Wilkinson. But then four Police-officers came to my flat with stun-guns and all. I’ve read in the Times, in 2005 or 2006, that in the UK one are allowed to defend oneselves, if burglars etc., want to attack you in your home, and after being in the Norwegian Home-Defence, I don’t think it’s that dramatic having an axe in one’s flat, for self-defense. (Like Duncan Ferguson, he use to beat burglars up, I’ve read. So one are allowed to defend one’s flat in the UK, I think). The Police dramatised this a lot, and fist four Police-officers with stun-guns came to my flat, and looked at my cutlery and all my other things in my kitchen and my bed-room. And stole my axe. Which I had bought in self-defence against Mr. Grimes who freaks me out a bit. (It’s the story with the tenancy-contract, etc. I don’t think a ‘normal’ guy would have wanted the orginal of one of my documents. So he freaked me out a bit. He also wanted to give me a special goodbye gift, etc. This I thought was peculiar. And freaked me out). Also two inspectors from the Police, came to my flat. (One had a hare-lip). And asked a lot of questions regarding the Wilkinson-axe. So I got a bit fed up, I thought the Police dramatised and I refered to the castle doctrine, which says people have the right to defend one’s home. So I felt harassed by the Police and the Landlord, and put a poster on my door, telling the Police to just send a letter in the post, and don’t scream outside my door, all the time. The Police just ignored this poster/paper-sheet, on Wednesday, and just broke the door down. The Bailiff and the Police told me I could bring some of my personal stuff with me. But the Police nagged about that I had to hurry, and stressed me, so I didn’t get things like extra underway, socks, my tooth-brush, mobile-charger, camera-charger, laptop, etc. The Police told me noone could stop a warrant from the County Court, so I just calmed it down, and filled my suit-case with my desk-top computer and some clothes. And brought with me two bags as well, one containing all the files from my employment-case against Arvato, who I’ve contaced a lot of law-firms, (on the legal aid programme), and the Police about, without any progress, for some reason. Then I took a National Express-bus to Sunderland, since I’d recently been in contact with them about starting studying again, and my enquiery was sent to the accommodation-office, at University of Sunderland, so I reackoned I just needed to speak with accommodation, to get a flat at campus. I got temperary accommodation, at campus, at University of Sunderland, the same day, (Wednesday), and am now corresponding with my old faculty, Faculty of Applied Sciences, which modules I’m going to study. But the dispute between me and my Landlord wasn’t really resolved. I think the Police should have respected the copies of the e-mails to the Parliamentary Ombudsman and the IPCC, which I gave them, and not broken down my front-door. I couldn’t really live there then, with a distroyed front-door, so it didn’t really mather much which arguments I used, when I spoke with the Police and the Bailiff, after that. So I want to complain about both the Court, the Landlord, the Bailiff and the Police, so I send copies to the Ombudsman and the Liverpool City Council, (who I’ve updated about this case earlier). Hope this is alright! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog PS. I also have an IPCC-case, from 2007, which is stalled at the IPCC, from when the Merseyside Police called me ‘Miss Erik Ribsskog’, in a letter, and other complaints. I’ve also sent a lot of e-mails to the Merseyside Police, in the last months, about that I’m being attacked on the internet, with identity-theft attacks etc., a lot. I also send a copy e-mail to the Norwegian embassy, in London, since I also contacted them, while the Police broke down my door, on Wednesday. ———- Forwarded message ———- Dear Mr Ribsskog Thank you for contacting the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
