Voicemails and and texts messages daily to both my work and personal phone, when I have written them all down quite staggering the amount of contact made. Ah well, will wait to hear about suggestions in terms of responding with harassment letter.
Many thanks for everyone’s help.

Harassment by Telephone at Work

Hi Tech clerk thank you for your reply. Would you suggest that I send one for each account they have stated or will one do ? They hold more accounts but haven’t mentioned these in any message ?
Many thanks

[The Tech Clerk]

if the accounts are all with same company reference each one in heading references:_

Would you suggest that I send one for each account they have stated or will one do ? They hold more accounts but haven’t mentioned these in any message ?

I would only send the harassment letter in relation to accounts which have been specifically mentioned in any message or phone call.

You don't want to awaken an account which has become dormant in case it gives them the idea to pursue you again.

As an aside
When I sent a telephone harassment letter to a rather persistent PDL (from one of the Baltic states I think) I included both the phone numbers they had been calling. That way, I had evidence I had told them.

They did stop calling my mobile but not my landline but as I am out most of the time that didn't matter. They have long since gone quiet and let it go SB
