I agree!!! I heck care already. First few days, i was so scared. Lock myself and kids in the room. Everytym sum1 knock on our door, i gt panic. I even run away from home with my kids. After much thinking and reading from this forum. I heck care. Y shld i be scared of em . I installed cctv already. Blocked all numbers and even get telco to change my house number. Eventhou my husband just manage to pay the defer money. I told him to stop paying the more you pay the more hungry they get.
I believe I felt and behave the same as you. Was very jumpy and stress out at every call or phone notification or when knock on door.
And yes, feeling of wanting to disappear into thin did occur.
Not paying, band together to endure the initial harassment is the right step forward and stop ALL contact is the only move.
My advice is for you to install a CCTV before their first visit, catch them in the act. Sis, you already made a police report? If not, please do so. Call 999 everytime your family is harassed. SPF will respond very quickly.
