    Keep records of what they are saying. They can not bring your grandson into this that is threats and harassment. If your laws are like here I would not pay them even a dime and let them take you to court. Then you can tell the Judge the things they are doing and saying and have a court order that you can follow rather than being bullied into things.

    I'm not sure what the laws are in the UK. But in the US no they can't bully you like that. To prevent the sale of the house they would have to take you to court first.

    I believe there are similar laws in the UK, but we do have some UK members who will probably help further.
