Advice needed

It is hard to give any advice since no details are provided in your post. Normally a legal representative should be sufficient and you do not have to travel to Bulgaria. In addition due to the Covid crisis you can ask for arranging a video conference call.

It looks like your neighbour has filed a complaint against you at the police. However police order to travel to Bulgaria seems highly unlikely. By the way what kind of damage does your neighbour claim ?

Thank you for your quick response.
I am unsure as to what damage has taken place and my solicitor does not know either. I have written to my solicitors advising that I am willing to be interviewed via the internet.
I have been harassed over the last five years with boundaries disputes and demands for money, various acts of vandalism by my neighbour on my property but this was, I thought resolved by the local municipality.
Will just have to wait to see what my neighbour comes up with now. Thanks again. Babs

boundaries disputes are normally solved by the municipality. They send a technician, who measures the boundaries of the properties and places marks to the exact ends. Then it is over.
Any other issues are dealt by the police. Your neighbour has no grounds to ask for money.
Last instance is normally the court, but this concerns more serious issues.

EVTRA,

I guess you 're speaking about Italy, probably somewhere around Naples, because the horror film that you describe has nothing to do with Bulgaria, the mindset of the people here, the police and the judicial system.

just forget about this bullshit!

Thank you for your advice. Believe it is a good idea to conduct the interview in writing. Many thanks.

This does sound a horrible situation, Barbara. Taking all the precautions you can over the interview and anything connected with the dispute is wise. Recording all verbal communications, getting what you can in writing, having translations double-checked. Dealing with this sort of dispute can be difficult enough in the UK, and in a different legal system in a language the defendant isn't fluent in - ugh!

Unfortunately there are dishonest people and even dishonest police in every country and your neighbour seems either seriously dishonest or seriously disturbed. Dishonest people may manage to find allies in other dishonest people, or disturbed people may manage to convince honest people what they say is true. Either way, the police may not be completely impartial in this case.

Hoping hard it all works out for you!

Once this particular dispute is resolved, with a neighbour from hell like this, selling up and finding a different villa might be the only way to truly get some peace from this person.
