"Such outright dishonesty and psychological warfare tactics" It's good, though, that more and more people are becoming AWARE that a) mass psychological manipulation IS a reality, and not some silly 'theory' (at Sandhurst they used to call it 'Public Perception Management'), and that b) the MSM and the Entertainments sector are equally complicit (an Establishment 'message' being transmitted almost subliminally via a conversation in the _Queen Vic_ , for example). The most blatant treat-the-Public-like-children wiz, of course, was the risible 'Keep Granny Safe' _schtick_ during the orchestrated Covid 'crisis' - a crude attempt at achieving compliance-through-guilt, which tactfully avoided the fact that 'grannies' start at 30 these days! Despite this growing awareness, however, it's a sad fact that most people are STILL sheep, treating 'government' in all its forms as The Good Shepherd.
those vans are a myth. its them wandering round and snooping and looking through your windows. thats when, if they see a tv? they get in touch with whoever? and find out whether theres a tv or not? the more people they catch, then they get a commission fee
Calling the BBC, cancelling your TV TAX LICENCE, will NOT STOP THE HARASSMENT FROM CAPITA, in fact, you WILL GET A VISIT FROM A CAPITA SALESMAN 99.9 % CHANCE of this. I've not had a TV TAX LICENCE for over 25 years, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, you don't have to have a TV TAX LICENCE by owning a TV !
They don’t turn up that is fact they just like sending the letters & I like sending them back unopened free post & don’t care if they don’t make it to where they should go back to the predatory factory
Got an email last week saying my annual DD for TV licence will be requested from my bank in next few days as my licence expires 31/10/24. I cancelled my DD and rang Capita this morning. Was on phone for about 20 minutes asking me various questions. I was courteous and so was the Capita operator. All done and dusted. Told me they'll send me a letter in 12 months time see if my circumstances change. They won't! I have Amazon Prime, UA-cam and the countless catch up channels. I very much doubt anyone will be looking through my window. I live alone on the 18th floor of a 27 storey building in Newcastle upon Tyne. If they use the intercom system to visit me I can see who it is without having to speak. If it's someone I'm not expecting or recognise I won't answer! Saved myself £169.50. Thinking of paying for ad free UA-cam instead. 😂
Just left today. I don't watch live TV I've not watched BBC for a while as their output is junk. About 10 years ago after being homeless we moved into a property. We had no TV, no PC or lap top or smart phones. We informed the BBC and got a weekly threat letter. We did get a TV licence when we started watching TV again. Over the years I've watched less and less of the BBC. It's outrageous this is a anachronism the BBC should be forced into becoming a subscription service so that people who want to watch their garbage can pay for it.
Cancelled mine ages ago had a couple of silly pathetic letters which I binned tv was crap I watch UA-cam on my tv now that way I see and hear the truth I’ve told them once i don’t need a license and I don’t repeat myself
It was the best thing I did back in 2010 . In that time they have check up once or twice in the house then after that even two are more years I get a letter just asking if there is any change
@@tonyrobinson362 i cancelled mine after 2 years the same as you nothing then a few months later I got it all I don’t worry coz I haven’t broken any law.
If you're not watching BBC or live broadcasting at all, then you do not legally require a TV license. You're also not obliged to inform them, just ignore the letters. If a representative from TV licensing visits your home, say nothing to them except; "I revoke your, or any representative of TV licensing implied right of access to my property." Legally, they are breaking laws of trespassing and harrasment if they continue to visit. Better still if you can film them as you say it to them.
May be if they put your actual name on the letter it might be classed as harassment. Saying legal occupier could prevent them from being taken to court for harassment.
I stopped paying my tv licence 5 years ago and still live tv on the commercial channels even sky channels on the freeview because the is rubbish stating watching live tv on any device. Does that mean I'm breaking the law sitting in the park watching sky news on my mobile I need a tv licence what a load of rubbish Thank you.
There is no way on Gods Green Earth - that they can prosecute you. UNLESS YOU OPEN YOUR GOB AND TELL THEM. That's why they go for the young women, cos they are usually at home looking after the kids and get scared easily. - and trust me - they are very well skilled in throwing legal cobblers about, just to gain a sale.
You don't need a license if you don't watch or record live as broadcasted, plus 1hr , use an I Player. Tell them you don't need one & they will send you a letter thanking you for telling them, around ever 2 years they will ask you if your circumstances have changed , not such thing a a tv detector van, a tv is a receiver it does not transmitt any signals, they do not know if or what you could be watching unless you tell them, dont let them into your property they have no right of entry unless they have a warrant, they are salesmen just ask them to leave or no thankyou please shut the gate on the way out !
Analogue TV sets could be detected by the local oscillator in the tuner. They even knew what channel you were watching from the frequency of the oscillator.
Don't have a TV licence and have no intention of getting one either. Not breaking the law as I don't watch or record any broadcast TV, my aerial isn't even plugged in. I stream old movies and shows, watch UA-cam and DVDs + Blu-rays. Not answering the door to any goons.
If the BBC license goons can get the immigrants living at Harehills Leeds to buy a BBC license I'll buy one as well. I wonder how many doors they've knocked on that area , 😂 none !!
the way i look at it is, if i pay for subscription services, then why should i pay for a tv licence? the tv licence was brought in to fund the BBC, NOT anything else. if you go to the website, it tells you basicly have to pay for everything. and define live tv? to me its any thing shown live events, not something thats previously been recorded to watch? they are just grabbing for money because they think they are bigger than everyone else. why should i have to pay to watch youtube, netflix, ect if im not watching "live tv" on a tv? bang out of order. ive not had a tv licence now for 7 years, been visited once, and threatened on that occasion. well no more i say. its time we all stood up to these tyrants and bullies
Are you sitting comfortably?Then I shall begin ; I just went to my online banking and cancelled the direct debit - took about one minute,then disconnected and removed the white tv arial lead - job done. Have received countless laughable threatening letters which I ignore,and if the big bad wolf turns up at the door he can fook off. And we lived happily ever after. The end.
I cancelled on line I never watched the BBC and I don't agree with the BBC on them not calling HAMAS a terrorist organisation.That in itself is enough to cancel in my opinion.
I cancelled my direct debit for TV licence about two years ago now, just phoned TV licencing up and all sorted. I haven't had any letters from them At all, so I don't know why you are getting them.
follow these rules. 1. do not watch any live tv on any device. 2. do not speak to them. 3. do not let them into your home. 4. do not give them your name. 5. do not sign anything. now 11yrs licence free !
I Filled the Form in on TV License and got it Candled They Candled the Direct Debit i had it was due for renew this month Only ever watch UA-cam and Netflix and amazon movies
BBC should be self funded like the other channels do BBC only make shit programmes any way and if there was an award for recycling they would win hands down as most daytime programs are reruns anyway
I cancelled my tv licence over a year ago, as long as you are very carefu not to watch record live tv or Bbc Iplayer, remember smart tv's are recording all your data, I do not trust them to adhere to my denying the tv doing this. I have had no trouble.I am 66 and it is easy to do I got a refund

Just be careful about cancelling. They only refund in 3 month blocks but cancel straight away. That means that if you have less than 3 months remaining, you will get no refund, but will still be in breach of the licencing rules.
I was glad to get rid of it and I don't miss it one bit. .
One of the best things, I've ever done.

Just stop paying. You DO NOT have to even tell them that you have stopped paying the TV Tax.
