It staggers me that they get away with using such threatening language. Whilst most of us find it amusing, there are some vulnerable people out there who will be frightened by letters like this. This is not on, and it needs to be stopped.
@@RedBull.RedBull Post office/Royal mail are instructed NOT to send letters without a stamp to TVL/Capita.(I have a friend who works for Royal Mail) so that's a waste of time.
You seem to be having a lot of fun with this letter more than usual greatt video as always . Have been 4yrs licence free never had a visit and still legal occupier so there so good at their job!!!😂😂😂😂😊😊
I was getting these - I don't need a licence, so i ignored them for a while but then realised each time i got one I was getting a bit 'triggered'. So I went online and did the whole declaration thing thinking that that would be the end of it, and the BBC and I would effectively part ways...forever... Nope - right at the end of the process you get a popup to say that they will check again in a year's time to make sure I haven't changed my mind.. I won't be bothering with the declaration ever again, and now they have my name they may well send someone around...I don't give a toss, because I do not and will not ever need one, but I'm buggered if I'll be bothering to tell them that every year
The thing that makes me laugh the most is that whatever method you use to watch a TV programme is going to be the same whether you watch it live or you watch it on catch-up. Absolutely no need for a licence at all. Most people don't watch TV live any more anyway. The only difference being watching it live or watching it by catch-up except you'd be getting the content in the exact same way. The TV Licence is not worth the paper it's printed on any more. Even more so because such a large amount of the licence fee goes to paying for all the idiotic, intimidating letters they send out to everyone. This needs to stop now.
Chilli, you've just given me a brain wave about what to do with the empty wall space where my TV use to hang. I'm going to make a crime scene investigation wall flow chart with all those letters they have sent out over the past 3 years. 😎 At the centre on the chart will be the main suspect in this crime, a picture of the ''BBC Director General'' Then flowing out from the centre in all directions linking one to another will be the various harassment letters, along with house visits and fine rates. top left will be red letters radiating around with bits of string to brown, white and off-colour envelopes. Also highlighted in bright colour bubble format will be dates sent, date of visit and how many threatening words use in each letter. Finally at the bottom of the crime flow wall chart resting on the shelf for the discarded TV remote will be my wine cooler which once sat on top of all these letters, so now the bottle of wine is even closer to my pouring arm.🍷 Oh no, I just had a thought, those goons who turned up in my dream 6 days ago which I locked down in my bunker are still down there, Hope they haven't drunk all my wine. 😱
@Jcmprofessional you still pay for it. Australia's national broadcaster is government funded, so your taxes are paying for it. Not sure why youtube deleted my original comment.....it did not violate their ToS, their censorship is getting way out of hand
I actually had a visit....well I say a visit .The goon just put a card through the door while we were home but never knocked or rang the bell ...very strange
I have a telly and pay my license fee but at one time I didn't have a telly and got pursued relentlessly with letters of this type. There was no internet or social media in those days so it was virtually impossible to gen up on the subject. Good on you ChilliJon for making these videos. People have a right to know the facts.
On November 1st 3years licence free all down to watching your videos best thing I've done loads of letters absolutely no visits.....thanks Chilli Jon 😀
Today is the18th of November. I started watching this video when the postman came. He delivered a TV licence letter to the Legal Occupier! 😂😂 I laughed as I was watching this vid and a letter came from them! I haven't had a licence for the last 10 years and never will again. Chilli, don't bother with the No licence thing as I did the same and had 3 visits in 2 years! Sent them packing every time. Great channel mate. Keep up the good work!
Well done, "Present Occupier" 😂. Yes, they're kind enough to send me these harassing letters too. If they get opened (which only happens by accident) they go straight in the trash. Keep it up, Mr Occupier 👍
I believe TV licensing probably do know your name. I think the reason they don't put your name on the letter is so they can't be taken to court for harassment. Maybe if they name you personally they can be done for harassment.
They do send the letters out with the last known name at the address that had a licence, eventually they use 'the occupier' if after a few months they get no reply, or if the letters go back with 'gone away' on it, nothing to do with legal reasons.
I'am over 2 years licence free now, had a letter from them each of the past 2 months, expecting a 3rd this month. I imagine the level of threats to go up as well as the quantity of red ink ! Thanks for all your advice Chilli John.
Recently received an email, so I guess it's been two years since I told them I don't need a license, (or want one). To be fair, although the questions are repetitive, they are pretty straightforward and it takes about two minutes to read though and tick the right boxes. Job done. Keep up the good work. This license is so unfair. MPs who voted for it are pathetic.
you are doing Great work , highlighting the absurd waste of our money on intimidation by them to us , on a system of obvious propaganda and extremely cheap filler .
My recent letter has my name. It states that they previously contacted me and they've had no response. That's a blatant lie. It's the first letter I've had since I spoke to them on the phone 2 years ago telling them i didn't have a TV and would let them know if I decided to use one to watch their crap.
@@ruthguthrie1099 Did you give your name when you spoke to them 2 yrs ago? If so, they'll stop using it once you've received a certain number (a full cycle, I think) of their letters. When they start anew, you will have miraculously become ' The Legal Occupier. Just don't respond to them in any way, unless you _want_ to be on their books.
After my wife died I returned all TV licence letters as, addressed is now deceased they then stated sending letters addressed to Mrs Deceased as she was the only one who watched the crap I cancelled the direct debit which she had set up to pay for it and filled in the declaration at TV licensing after which they informed me that it appears you do not require a licence and issued a partial REFUND . I thought it was great, but then 1 week later I had the one saying I'm down for a visit 2 weeks later i found a calling card from tv licencing goon they had called but i wasn't in but it included a direct debit instruction . It was consigned to the bin as will any more that come from the government propaganda politt bureau
I have had alot of letter from tv licence but they never show up. I live in a rough area and was wondering if there are certain areas they dont come to?
It's all automated, these companies can't be arsed to send the letters themselves. They don't even know who the letters have been sent to and it's pot luck that someone will be stupid enough to pay them
They will always address you as the Legal Occupier even though they know who occupies the property, I think that is to avoid being accused of harassment.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😎😎
They are pathetic. I used to get letters every month. I used to put on them return to sender , unwanted junk mail and pop it back in the post box . I havent had a letter now for 8 months. Theres no contact at the door, so life is a breeze. Great video
I've had roughly 14 letters over the last 10 years telling me they are opening an investigation, and then numerous letters telling me there investigation is almost over before they start an investigation again, and still no one has come to my door. They are full of crap, but I'm very glad they keep sending me and everybody else letters because it costs them money.
Just another one of their lies. In smaller print somewhere they''ll state 'or another day' so you can't make a civil claim if you took the day off work that day to accomodate their goon.
Ring them , say your the occupier, dont give your name, tell them their " right of access is revoked " tell them your recording the phonecall and actually record it. After that they cant even walk through your front gate. Ever. I did this 15 years ago and since , weve never had a letter from them or a knock at the door.
I got a letter yesterday actually addressed to me, yes they used my name. I shredded it for the compost bin. Waiting for them to come like they said they will. Can't wait.
I've declared twice through an email and never got any visit, oh I was really looking forward to one too I'm soooo lonely, I normally ask if they're interested in Jesus saving them and do they want to talk about it... That normally scares people off.
No, there are plenty of countries that do this. Aussie have it worse, their national broadcaster is government funded, so basically Aussies have to pay it as part of taxes.
lived in same council flat 15 years never had 1 goon come to door just those annoying threatening letters which to me seems like demanding money with menaces how do they get away with it the mind boggles lol
No license here for 25+ years, last year i ditched the TV completely. I'm not responding to them, they still regularly send me love letters though, which is sweet. I know i could simply let them know but why should I..? Its good entertainment recieving this rubbish, and i would be ecstatic if they paid a visit.
I had a knock on the door today. TV licence "wanted to check" my declaration of not needing a TV licence! That's a new one. Obviously I said I don't need one as I've already declared I don't and that she didn't need to check! She was not happy!
I used the declare no tv on line, even getting a refund and for 2 years nothing, no visit and no letters. Almost to the day 2 years later I received my first letter. Now on my second, I’m looking forward to the “never coming” visit. Please keep this up, but it certainly would appear you’re not reaching those vulnerable women that keep getting fined and criminal convictions. 😢
I’ve had over 60 of these letters. I really don’t think I’ll get scared into purchasing a license I don’t need next time! Why they continue to bother amazes me.
I got the same cycle of letters for 20 years straight in my first house. Moved house 6 months ago and the cycle has started again. Never had an enforcement visit in all that time. Never had a television either.
Never had a TV?!?! So wtf are you watching stuff on? Are you genuinely watching your favourite shows/films on a laptop or tablet? Foooooooook that. Get a TV, man. Just don’t watch anything live on it. Ain’t hard.
I had one a while back threatening me with a visit on a date two weeks prior to the delivery of the notice. My father worked for the Beeb in the '60s and '70s and I can hear him spinning in his grave from 250 miles away.
I have not had a TV licence since 2007, as I do not watch or record any live broadcasts on any device, nor watch BBC iPlayer. In fact I do not have a digital TV set, but every month I received a threatening letter from them to purchase a licence! In the earlier years and every two years, I had informed TV Licensing that I did not need a TV licence, but a few years ago when they started sending the sales people to check, I stopped informing them. I never let the sales people in nor talk with them, as I spot them on my home security camera and I can immediately tell who they are by looking at their stupid faces holding their device. Thus they wasted a total of nine visits since installing my security camera a few years ago.
Just approaching four years free of the Jimmy Sovile Tax . Definitely had a visit a week or so ago . Not a problem . Haven't answered the front door to casual callers in fifty years . Watched the creature slither off down the road . It didn't knock on anyone else's door .
31 years for me. Saved me over £3k to date (in today’s licence costs) Without exaggeration, they must spend about £20 a year sending me letters. As you said they get more and more threatening, then they reset to ‘please pay’ … and it all starts over again. 3 visits ever, one door answering as I thought it was the post. Just said No ta and that was it.
Been in my current property 8 1/2 years had letters fro the first month I moved in. All to the current occupier, various investigations, various letters threatening visits, all of which have gone in the bin. Still waiting for the knock on the door. Simply ignore the bastards
Around 7 years now for me and I've seen the cycle of letters reset so many times I can now recognise when it goes back to a stage 1 letter. It's so hilarious how clear it is that these are all automatically computer generated and posted out. They still think my legal name is "legal occupier". Is it weird I get a little tingle of excitement when one comes through my letterbox just to see what stage of threat it is?😂
Did my renewal of no licence needed declaration yesterday. Never had a visit as yet, but I did notice that the subject on the initial email was "Your No Licence Needed claim expires soon, please contact us." I am not claiming I do not need a TV licence, I am stating I do not need a licence...no claims are being made. Once I went through the process, I received another email stating and I quote "We'll notify you within 5 working days, to confirm details of your No Licence Needed declaration." Why not do it then and there. Once I move to a house, I won't be informing them I don't need a licence again, I am only doing it whilst I am in my current place because I have done it for years.
I had a running battle with the TV licensing body that lasted years. I pay by direct debit and in the past they used to send a paper license through the post each year, which I kept under the TV (obviously). One year I received a similar threatening letter. I replied stating that I had a license and giving details. THEY replied, instructing me to send them the license (not a copy) so that they could verify. Big red flag! Obviously I refused and told them if they wanted, they were welcome to come and look at it but no way was I going to post it to them. They went quiet. Until next year...
"Ignoring this letter could cost you more than the license fee". I didn't know ignoring their letters has been made illegal.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
That's definitely a threat. They should just add to the end if thay "we know where you and your family live".
Demanding monies with menaces, threats, is a criminal offense
It 'could' cost you more than the license fee but it 'won't'. Just like you 'could' win the lottery but you 'won't'.

It staggers me that they get away with using such threatening language. Whilst most of us find it amusing, there are some vulnerable people out there who will be frightened by letters like this. This is not on, and it needs to be stopped.
Just ignore the letters I do 20 letters in my drawer now and I still ignore them
Send it back to them it will cost them still more.. I did it..
How many trees have to die in order to send out these letters?
@@RedBull.RedBull Post office/Royal mail are instructed NOT to send letters without a stamp to TVL/Capita.(I have a friend who works for Royal Mail) so that's a waste of time.
@@RedBull.RedBull Don't do that because then they will know that someone is living there
Why are you keeping 20+ letters?😂👍🇮🇪🇷🇺
national bullying and harassment
You seem to be having a lot of fun with this letter more than usual greatt video as always .
Have been 4yrs licence free never had a visit and still legal occupier so there so good at their job!!!😂😂😂😂😊😊
I received this letter last week. Not intimidated by empty threats, so I threw it in the bin 😂
Demanding money with menaces. Sounds like the mafia!
I was getting these - I don't need a licence, so i ignored them for a while but then realised each time i got one I was getting a bit 'triggered'. So I went online and did the whole declaration thing thinking that that would be the end of it, and the BBC and I would effectively part ways...forever...
Nope - right at the end of the process you get a popup to say that they will check again in a year's time to make sure I haven't changed my mind..
I won't be bothering with the declaration ever again, and now they have my name they may well send someone around...I don't give a toss, because I do not and will not ever need one, but I'm buggered if I'll be bothering to tell them that every year
The thing that makes me laugh the most is that whatever method you use to watch a TV programme is going to be the same whether you watch it live or you watch it on catch-up. Absolutely no need for a licence at all. Most people don't watch TV live any more anyway. The only difference being watching it live or watching it by catch-up except you'd be getting the content in the exact same way.
The TV Licence is not worth the paper it's printed on any more. Even more so because such a large amount of the licence fee goes to paying for all the idiotic, intimidating letters they send out to everyone. This needs to stop now.
Chilli,
you've just given me a brain wave about what to do with the empty wall space where my TV use to hang.
I'm going to make a crime scene investigation wall flow chart with all those letters they have sent out over the past 3 years. 😎
At the centre on the chart will be the main suspect in this crime, a picture of the ''BBC Director General'' Then flowing out from the centre in all directions linking one to another will be the various harassment letters, along with house visits and fine rates. top left will be red letters radiating around with bits of string to brown, white and off-colour envelopes.
Also highlighted in bright colour bubble format will be dates sent, date of visit and how many threatening words use in each letter.
Finally at the bottom of the crime flow wall chart resting on the shelf for the discarded TV remote will be my wine cooler which once sat on top of all these letters, so now the bottle of wine is even closer to my pouring arm.🍷
Oh no, I just had a thought, those goons who turned up in my dream 6 days ago which I locked down in my bunker are still down there, Hope they haven't drunk all my wine. 😱
In Australia, TV viewing licensing was abolished in 1974.
Indeed, but you still pay it. ABC is government funded....i.e. you pay for it.
But what happened after it was abolished though?
@Jcmprofessional you still pay for it. Australia's national broadcaster is government funded, so your taxes are paying for it.
Not sure why youtube deleted my original comment.....it did not violate their ToS, their censorship is getting way out of hand
Australia is a great country to be proud off. unfortunately for us english uk 🇬🇧 is now a shit hole. plus a shit hole treasonous government.
I actually had a visit....well I say a visit .The goon just put a card through the door while we were home but never knocked or rang the bell ...very strange
I had exactly the sane a month ago.
If you didn't see it was a goon, it wouldnt have been.
they leaflet people, no knocks, just the 'we knocked and you didnt answer' little red card
@ChilliJonCarne yeah little red card ....but what's the point of that ?..by the way, I freed myself from the bbc because of your advice. Thanks 😊
@@barukkazhad8998 Just another way to try to intimidate people. Their scummery knows no bounds.
@stevegee8010 Well...its a crap plan ,as my 10 year old son and I just laughed
I've been waiting over 7years and iv still not got the opportunity to say "no thank you" 😂
You'll wait another 7 years
I have a telly and pay my license fee but at one time I didn't have a telly and got pursued relentlessly with letters of this type. There was no internet or social media in those days so it was virtually impossible to gen up on the subject. Good on you ChilliJon for making these videos. People have a right to know the facts.
Something wrong with you
Ooohh.. can't wait to receive one of these new type threatograms...to add to my pile of 26 unopened old style threatograms... Bring it on 😁🤪😂😂😂
On November 1st 3years licence free all down to watching your videos best thing I've done loads of letters absolutely no visits.....thanks Chilli Jon 😀
Today is the18th of November. I started watching this video when the postman came.
He delivered a TV licence letter to the Legal Occupier! 😂😂
I laughed as I was watching this vid and a letter came from them!
I haven't had a licence for the last 10 years and never will again.
Chilli, don't bother with the No licence thing as I did the same and had 3 visits in 2 years! Sent them packing every time.
Great channel mate. Keep up the good work!
I hope I get a red one for Christmas!
If I were a multi millionaire I'd sue them for demanding money with menaces. I'm doing the lottery tomorrow!
Well done, "Present Occupier" 😂. Yes, they're kind enough to send me these harassing letters too. If they get opened (which only happens by accident) they go straight in the trash. Keep it up, Mr Occupier 👍
Its like having to buy a driving licence if you don't own a car.
You can own a car without a licence too. I owned a car at 15
I have a driving licence, but no car. If I want to drive one, I need that licence. I also don't watch live TV or have a TV licence.
I believe TV licensing probably do know your name. I think the reason they don't put your name on the letter is so they can't be taken to court for harassment. Maybe if they name you personally they can be done for harassment.
I think you may have hit the nail on the head with this. Maybe BlackBelt Barrister can confirm this.
They do send the letters out with the last known name at the address that had a licence, eventually they use 'the occupier' if after a few months they get no reply, or if the letters go back with 'gone away' on it, nothing to do with legal reasons.
They'll know our names for sure. Electrol register!
@@jaybe2908 You may be right but I've never seen a tv licence letter with a person's full name on it.
@@necropink9200 I'm a postman so I see quite a lot of them, with names known and unknown.
This is very informative and reassuring. I cancelled recently at the grand age of 65, I haven’t swallowed the state propaganda since childhood.
I'am over 2 years licence free now, had a letter from them each of the past 2 months, expecting a 3rd this month. I imagine the level of threats to go up as well as the quantity of red ink ! Thanks for all your advice Chilli John.
I quite often watch something I shouldn't. Those adult educational videos are..... quite interesting.
i watch tv everyday licence free 👍
@@warrior2871 Amazingly the telly works as good even if you don't have a TV license, or so I am told 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Falling more in love with you and your channel with each post. Best comedy on UA-cam! Thank you and keep at it mate!
I must be due a letter like that as any letter you receive I get a few days later . I love them wasting their money . Big thank you .
not wasting their money, wasting the money of people who for some reason keep voluntarily paying the subscription...
@ well it’s their money if people are silly or to worried . Unless of course they watch live tv and iplayer .
Recently received an email, so I guess it's been two years since I told them I don't need a license, (or want one). To be fair, although the questions are repetitive, they are pretty straightforward and it takes about two minutes to read though and tick the right boxes. Job done.
Keep up the good work. This license is so unfair. MPs who voted for it are pathetic.
you are doing Great work , highlighting the absurd waste of our money on intimidation by them to us , on a system of obvious propaganda and extremely cheap filler .
My recent letter has my name. It states that they previously contacted me and they've had no response. That's a blatant lie. It's the first letter I've had since I spoke to them on the phone 2 years ago telling them i didn't have a TV and would let them know if I decided to use one to watch their crap.
@@ruthguthrie1099 Did you give your name when you spoke to them 2 yrs ago? If so, they'll stop using it once you've received a certain number (a full cycle, I think) of their letters.
When they start anew, you will have miraculously become ' The Legal Occupier.
Just don't respond to them in any way, unless you _want_ to be on their books.
I don't even open them anymore haven't done for decades. Never had a visit ever.
After my wife died I returned all TV licence letters as, addressed is now deceased they then stated sending letters addressed to Mrs Deceased as she was the only one who watched the crap I cancelled the direct debit which she had set up to pay for it and filled in the declaration at TV licensing after which they informed me that it appears you do not require a licence and issued a partial REFUND . I thought it was great, but then 1 week later I had the one saying I'm down for a visit 2 weeks later i found a calling card from tv licencing goon they had called but i wasn't in but it included a direct debit instruction . It was consigned to the bin as will any more that come from the government propaganda politt bureau
I show them my ' No Cold Callers' sign and tell them to clear off and don't ignore it again. That's it.
I have had alot of letter from tv licence but they never show up. I live in a rough area and was wondering if there are certain areas they dont come to?
There are certain areas of certain cultures that they won't go to. Hmm
I am a novice at having no TV Licence. At present I have received 1 email and 1 letter. I will obviously gain experience as time goes by.
It's very easy. Just ignore them.
I'm just over a year in now...Any letters from them go in the shredder...Goons get a "No Thank You" and the door shut in their face...
It's all automated, these companies can't be arsed to send the letters themselves. They don't even know who the letters have been sent to and it's pot luck that someone will be stupid enough to pay them
They will always address you as the Legal Occupier even though they know who occupies the property, I think that is to avoid being accused of harassment.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😎😎
They are pathetic. I used to get letters every month. I used to put on them return to sender , unwanted junk mail and pop it back in the post box . I havent had a letter now for 8 months. Theres no contact at the door, so life is a breeze. Great video
It's like someone wanting me to pay car insurance or road tax if I don't have a car
I've had roughly 14 letters over the last 10 years telling me they are opening an investigation, and then numerous letters telling me there investigation is almost over before they start an investigation again, and still no one has come to my door. They are full of crap, but I'm very glad they keep sending me and everybody else letters because it costs them money.
i get about 3 or so about a month
More money spent on this. The less for the likes of Gary Gary Lineker
I got one that said you've got a 10 day window whatever the feck that means😂😂
Just another one of their lies. In smaller print somewhere they''ll state 'or another day' so you can't make a civil claim if you took the day off work that day to accomodate their goon.
I got that one yesterday 😂
I got that one in October - ten days ending on the 30th October, then they're sending the boys in. I'm waiting.
Answer and say Ah yes, I need my velux window replacing. How much does it cost & when can U come? 😅
I did it online to say I didn't need a licence. I put my name as Mr L Occupier
It worked lol
I'd love to see some brave person take them to court over these threatening letters and win.
If the letter says to the occupier, I put it in the bin. I don't even open it.
Please send it back to them.. Let them pay to the Royal mail..
No don't send it back. It shows someone is at that address. Just ignore.
I always remove any details such as address or reference/account numbers before binning any letters
@@RedBull.RedBull Royal mail bins them😮😮
@@iamrocketray Royal Mail won't bin them, but they don't charge for returns though.
I am fully backing this true leader. He knows what has been going on.
Ring them , say your the occupier, dont give your name, tell them their " right of access is revoked " tell them your recording the phonecall and actually record it.
After that they cant even walk through your front gate. Ever.
I did this 15 years ago and since , weve never had a letter from them or a knock at the door.
I done this for a friend with mental health issues he didn't need one,there attitude was disgusting
Another great public interets clip, what a sham they are, why no one can take them to court for harassment ?
Not to sound like a tree hugger, but how many trees get chopped down just for the tv licence letters. They should be charged for the waste.
I got a letter yesterday actually addressed to me, yes they used my name. I shredded it for the compost bin. Waiting for them to come like they said they will. Can't wait.
Well I got a letter from my aunt
When I get a letter with that particular title....I think this... "getting this letter helps when I run out of toilet 🚽 paper"
@@Blatherskite824 but we have insist they send softer paper!
@@jfdomega7938 they may make an investigation for that though too 😅
Yeah had one last week.... Went in the bin
Can we organise a video interview with somebody at TV Licensing to explain themselves.
We have a wood burning stove. If they want to send me stuff to light it with, I'm very grateful.
😂😂😂😂😂😂. They're not getting a penny from me. I'm still waiting for a visit 🤔
I've declared twice through an email and never got any visit, oh I was really looking forward to one too I'm soooo lonely, I normally ask if they're interested in Jesus saving them and do they want to talk about it... That normally scares people off.
Could you imagine if your name was Mr Present Occupier 🤔🤣🤣
You must be only country in the world that puts up with this type of bollicks if enough people say NO then maybe they'll stop or get new government
Plenty of mugs buy one too. It's pathetic
No, there are plenty of countries that do this. Aussie have it worse, their national broadcaster is government funded, so basically Aussies have to pay it as part of taxes.
THANK YOU GOOD SIR. I TIP MY HAT TO YOU.
Weve had 3 letters from them, but we just ignore them, i dont even watch telly
Please send it back to them.. Let them pay to the Royal mail..
lived in same council flat 15 years never had 1 goon come to door just those annoying threatening letters which to me seems like demanding money with menaces how do they get away with it the mind boggles lol
No license here for 25+ years, last year i ditched the TV completely. I'm not responding to them, they still regularly send me love letters though, which is sweet. I know i could simply let them know but why should I..? Its good entertainment recieving this rubbish, and i would be ecstatic if they paid a visit.
I had a knock on the door today. TV licence "wanted to check" my declaration of not needing a TV licence! That's a new one. Obviously I said I don't need one as I've already declared I don't and that she didn't need to check! She was not happy!
I thought that "Demanding money with menaces" was against the law!! However, I have been wrong before!
I've been receiving these letters for 7 years
I used the declare no tv on line, even getting a refund and for 2 years nothing, no visit and no letters. Almost to the day 2 years later I received my first letter. Now on my second, I’m looking forward to the “never coming” visit. Please keep this up, but it certainly would appear you’re not reaching those vulnerable women that keep getting fined and criminal convictions. 😢
What a bargain though eh? If you buy a TV licence they will "call off" their investigation!! F**k me, where's my debit card?🤣
😂
I’ve had over 60 of these letters. I really don’t think I’ll get scared into purchasing a license I don’t need next time! Why they continue to bother amazes me.
I got the same cycle of letters for 20 years straight in my first house. Moved house 6 months ago and the cycle has started again. Never had an enforcement visit in all that time. Never had a television either.
Never had a TV?!?!
So wtf are you watching stuff on? Are you genuinely watching your favourite shows/films on a laptop or tablet? Foooooooook that. Get a TV, man. Just don’t watch anything live on it. Ain’t hard.
I had one a while back threatening me with a visit on a date two weeks prior to the delivery of the notice. My father worked for the Beeb in the '60s and '70s and I can hear him spinning in his grave from 250 miles away.
I have not had a TV licence since 2007, as I do not watch or record any live broadcasts on any device, nor watch BBC iPlayer. In fact I do not have a digital TV set, but every month I received a threatening letter from them to purchase a licence!
In the earlier years and every two years, I had informed TV Licensing that I did not need a TV licence, but a few years ago when they started sending the sales people to check, I stopped informing them. I never let the sales people in nor talk with them, as I spot them on my home security camera and I can immediately tell who they are by looking at their stupid faces holding their device. Thus they wasted a total of nine visits since installing my security camera a few years ago.
Just approaching four years free of the Jimmy Sovile Tax . Definitely had a visit a week or so ago . Not a problem . Haven't answered the front door to casual callers in fifty years . Watched the creature slither off down the road . It didn't knock on anyone else's door .
What details..... you don't no my name 😂😂😂😂😂
31 years for me. Saved me over £3k to date (in today’s licence costs)
Without exaggeration, they must spend about £20 a year sending me letters. As you said they get more and more threatening, then they reset to ‘please pay’ … and it all starts over again.
3 visits ever, one door answering as I thought it was the post. Just said No ta and that was it.
Been in my current property 8 1/2 years had letters fro the first month I moved in. All to the current occupier, various investigations, various letters threatening visits, all of which have gone in the bin. Still waiting for the knock on the door. Simply ignore the bastards
Around 7 years now for me and I've seen the cycle of letters reset so many times I can now recognise when it goes back to a stage 1 letter. It's so hilarious how clear it is that these are all automatically computer generated and posted out. They still think my legal name is "legal occupier". Is it weird I get a little tingle of excitement when one comes through my letterbox just to see what stage of threat it is?😂
Did my renewal of no licence needed declaration yesterday. Never had a visit as yet, but I did notice that the subject on the initial email was "Your No Licence Needed claim expires soon, please contact us." I am not claiming I do not need a TV licence, I am stating I do not need a licence...no claims are being made. Once I went through the process, I received another email stating and I quote "We'll notify you within 5 working days, to confirm details of your No Licence Needed declaration." Why not do it then and there.
Once I move to a house, I won't be informing them I don't need a licence again, I am only doing it whilst I am in my current place because I have done it for years.
I had a running battle with the TV licensing body that lasted years.
I pay by direct debit and in the past they used to send a paper license through the post each year, which I kept under the TV (obviously). One year I received a similar threatening letter. I replied stating that I had a license and giving details. THEY replied, instructing me to send them the license (not a copy) so that they could verify. Big red flag!
Obviously I refused and told them if they wanted, they were welcome to come and look at it but no way was I going to post it to them.
They went quiet.
Until next year...
