Please ignore some of the tosh people have written as supposed advice here!! Threats to kill are only taken as that in the eye of the law if the person making the threat has the ability to carry that threat through at the time of making said threat. This is the word of the law. It is not the choice of the police. They do not make the laws and can be as frustrated as you, me or anyone else with such laws. \n\nFurthermore, harrassment is something far better dealt with via civil law through a solicitor and a county court. Please look into this. You will be far better served in this instance if you take this route. Criminal law is not really any good until serious offences have occured in this area. Also, there is no such thing as a verbal assault in the eyes of the law. Although you could argue that someone suffers physically because of the verbal onslaught they had received, but this would be an exceptional case. \n\nSee a sol re civil law. It really is your best bet.

I believe it is harassment when you feel as if you are singled out and made to feel uncomfortable or offended.

None.\n\nIf somebody says something insulting then it is a person's choice to let that upset them or not.\n\nIf somebody has a story they can PROVE then they should have the right to tell it.

I hope this helps: Just what is sexual harassment? The book Coping With Sexual Harassment and Gender Bias, by Dr. Victoria Shaw, defines it as “bothering someone in a sexual way . . . It can be physical (such as touching someone in a sexual way), verbal (such as making unwelcome comments about someone’s appearance), or nonverbal.” Sometimes the harassment involves crude propositions.\n\nThe Bible condemns “obscene jesting.” (Ephesians 5:3, 4) Therefore, you have a right to feel angry, upset, confused, and even demeaned when you are harassed!\n\nHow, then, should you react if someone bothers you in this way? Sometimes a weak or vague response only makes a harasser try harder. The Bible tells us that when Joseph was propositioned by his employer’s wife, he did not simply ignore her. Instead, he firmly rejected her immoral advances. (Genesis 39:8, 9, 12) Today, being firm and direct is still the best way to fend off harassment.\n\nSimply saying something like, ‘I don’t like that kind of talk’ or, may get your point across. However you word it, do not water down your message. Let your no mean no! If [He] does not catch on to your kind hints, you have to tell [him] straight out. It often comes to that.  A firm ‘CUT IT OUT!’ may do the job.\nIf the situation escalates, do not try to handle things alone. Try talking it over with your parents or other MATURE adults. They may have some practical suggestions for dealing with the situation. As a last resort, they may even feel it necessary to alert school officials. As uncomfortable as doing so might make you, it could protect you from further victimization.

Get a badge number, GO to the station,and file a report for harrassment.  IF they do not investigate it, THEN get a lawyer.  I have had a friend in this situation before and they got it solved by saying "Laywer"

why would think there would be harrasment?  You do your job professionally and don't try and milk the system, and you'll be awarded the respect you deserve.

I urge you to look up and browse The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  It contains the rules creditors must follow in collection efforts.  \n\nAs for coming to your door, the Act prohibits conduct designed primarily to harrass, etc. -- and at least here in NY, knocking on your door for any reason other than a process serving handing you a summons to court strikes me as exactly that.

Tell them "I'm offended by that." Could fall under the sexual harrassment category (but it doesn't have to be sexual). \nOnce they've been notified, you are free to escalate. Supervisor can't ignore it if you have told them. This can lead to civil rights and right-to-work issues. HTH!
