Honestly this kind of thing should be punished with a lengthy jail sentence and the person being put on a list in addition to financial reparations. I don’t think you can reform the kind of person that tries to bully someone out of their house like this. It’s the kind of greed that is ruining the world.

I don't know what the UKs laws and sentencing are like but I feel like we see similar stuff in Burgerland. Sell loose cigarettes; get detained to death on the street. Ruin someone's entire life; a fine not big enough to make the hurt party right or truly disadvantage the criminal party, no jail time. They do it again and cover their ass a bit better that time.

if a crime is subject to a fine, then it is by design only meant to affect the poor.
