The bullies might have gotten away with this criminal-wise but what about civil damages? It looks like they severely damaged your ability to sustain yourself financially.

I would echo this advice, In the UK you can press civil charges against the assailants within 2 years of the crime.

I hadn't considered that. Thank you for mentioning it. I'd like to avoid adding even more stress, but I'll see if I can talk to a lawyer about it.

Yeah I agree it might be tough psychologically. But from the deepest human point of view it is only fair. Why should you be the only person who bears the burden of the 100% result of someone else's actions?
