    Had a visit today, more on that shortly... I’m legally license-free, and despite cancelling it properly, giving them all the info they requested, we immediately started to receive their threatening letters. But interestingly they were addressed to ‘ the occupier’ rather than to my name. Very sloppy of them. Anyway, because I despise the bbc and all it stands for, I simply bin the letters. Have done for three years now. We think we had one visit by a so-called enforcement officer, about 18 months ago. We didn’t as the door. His car was parked blocking the gateway to our track, and remained there for half an hour. Cheeky sod, I found that threatening.
    Today. Vehicle drove up our track. He knocked on our door. Then proceeded to sit in his vehicle for about half an hour, although he did disappear for more than a few minutes... he emerged from the undergrowth, I suspect he’d left a crap.. I did a check on the vehicle reg, and it turns out it’s registered in Chelmsford, the home of Capita tv licensing enforcement...
    so here we are, in lockdown, but these toe rags are still making visits. I’ve nothing to hide, but I refuse to cooperate with them. Roll on the demise of the bbc.

I worked all my life from the age of 16 and served for 8 years in the Royal Navy, ( which I don't get a pension for ), but I bought a private pension during my working life, that pension takes me just a very few pounds a week, over what the government reckon I need, without pension credit to live on...there must be millions like me in this trap.
      If/when they stop the over 75's free TV license I shall not pay the BBC a penny; maybe I should give them the extra 25p a week I now get on my state pension, on reaching 80 lol, hang on though, it will only be 20p I could give them as I still pay income tax, so the government take 20% of the 25p back.

    The only way it got solved was for her to lie to them, saying she DID have a TV, then claim the over 75 age exemption !
    The whole licence thing is well past its sell-by date. No decent comedies or dramas are made anymore - they're just paying themselves massive salaries, and doing nothing to show for it.

Nobody needs to tune into the bbc to see bbc bias! Fair use laws permit channels to use programs for entertainment and educational purposes. Get it?

    The most important thing is NOT to give them your name or sign anything on the doorstep. If your address has not got a TV license they WILL visit you to try and get your name and signature so they can process you through the Magistrates court and get you fined. They use tricks to try and get you to admit you have a TV like pretending they're from somewhere else. The court will fine you more every time you are caught with no license and when the fines are not payed you go to prison. I worked for the Magistrates court for a very long time as a warrant officer and heard story after story what these tossers do to trick people.

      Keith Denny hi mate the only people that can smash your door is the police if they know you are in there. I never had a license but never opened the door to anyone I didn't know (I had a camera) but it can be a pain in the arse doing that. If they catch you at the door and ask for you by name or the home owner just say sorry he's out at the moment I'm doing some work for him and can't help you sorry, then close the door. They're very crafty and sometimes call in the evening when it's easier to see if a tv is on. Best is not to engage them or answer or sign anything. The letters are designed to scare you. One thing I'm surprised more people don't do when caught on the doorstep is give a false name and dob. That way the information sent to the Magistrates court is under the wrong details and when the fine is produced and the fines warrant eventually gets issued it can't be served as it's in a made up name. I only had that a couple of times and as a warrants officer could only return the warrant to be written off. At the end of the day they can only fine you and the Magistrates court will bend over backwards to help you clear the fine rather than put you in prison.

      If they come to the house, they will be told to fuck off and I will NEVER let them in, purely on the principle of it.
      I have told everyone in the family, that if they do let any fucker in, then THEY will be paying the TV Licence and not me.

      No, I was only having a giggle at your post, little bit of humour as I 100% agree with you and yes, I fully understand.
      I find that I seem to enjoy a little bit of conflict, but as I leaned to in my post, I have had many many balifs and many more letters and threats about the person who lived in this house some time before my family moved in, and that has simply got on my nerves, because I have spend hundreds and hhundreds of pounds proving I am NOT the person, and then one day I just flipped and now I write very strongly worded letters, or rather I have written one and I just print out loads of copies telling these companies to F Off and worse, because Im done with them.
      I did have one time, when I moved in and we were with scottich power at out old house and changed to it here, but British Gas was supplying it when we moved in, or, as we were moving and as such, I had 3 days supplied by British Gas and they had got balif onto us to pay, and what had happened is that once they got my name, it was a threat to me and another to the occupier and I sorted it out with british gas straight away - I only owed £2.68 - as I said, it was 3 days worth, and that was only putting the kettle on a few times as we were moving and still lived in our old house, but they had the balifs involved and we had sorted it out for the occupier but not with my name, and these balifs got really heavy, and I was just pushing it.. I realised the error but they did not. The bills and the charged went up to £880 - all from originally owing £2.68 and so we went all teh way to court and when I went, I took my paperwork that showed that I owed this £2.68 and that I had paid it.
      For a bit more clarity, it was originally that the house was empty and at first, I had to prove that I only moved in, on Feb17 but there was money owing from the previous year and so, I was not going to pay for their bill, and when british gas had the proof, they were happy that I only owed the 3 days worth and they had it at £2.68 instead of something like £170 ( And that was from an empty house? )
      Anyway, it was hilarious in court because the judge went absolutely balistic on the balifs for wasting time on not just a £2.68 bill, but also for not getting the fact that I had already paid the bill anyway.
      As I said, they have me as the occupier and as my real name, so they thought it was 2 accounts.
      They obviously though that I would have to pay the bill, plus any court costs etc.
      --
      I do have a parking ticket as well that I am being a fanny with. It was outside the cinema and I have a blue badge, but what I must have done, is set the timer, and when I threw it onto my dash, it must have folded over and not show the time or the badge, however, they know that I am disabled as I am there at least 2 times a week... I have had 3 letters from 3 different balifs, each getting more threatening but Im just ignoring them all... I am not going to pay a penny.
      I have not heard from them in about 3 months now and I think its over, but Im keeping the letters and the thing is, that even though the original fine was £100, its now up to £320 and I might get fed up and tell them to either take me to court, and if not, then I will take them for harrassment.
      I am disabled and even if it does go to court, ( it wont ) but if it does, then I will only have to pay the original fine of £100 and I will, because I am disabled and not working, ask to pay a fiver a month as I cannot afford to pay more.

    I've lived at the same address for 27 years and have never paid for a TV license.
    The way to do it is simple.
    1. Only pay cash for equipment.
    2. Always use a false name, I use 'I Mc Hunt'.
    3. Use either an address that doesn't actually exist like 23 & 24 Leinster Gardens, London, SW15 3AN or one like 71, Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0XA, which is Capita Plc's address. If you don't like that one try 30, Berners Street, London, W1T 3LR which is their head office.
    I just love the thought of them getting a threatening letter on their own doorstep addressed to Mr. I. Mc Hunt.
    If you get a visit make sure all receiving equipment is off and not visible from the door or windows. And remember They DO NOT Have Any Right Of Access. Best method is to answer the door with a camera in your hand, it doesn't even have to be switched on, and see them run away while hiding their face.
    Hope that's been of help.

      @@alijay68 They will pay it but the BBC like the CF industry day how much money they're losing due to copying. As the CD copiers would never pay for 99% of the crap they copy, that's a false statement as is the amount of money the BBC claim to be losing. It's based on 100% of the over 75's rushing out to get licensed up. Whereas many will do it out of honesty, you haven't considered the people not claiming special pension allowance, for the same reason who won't be able to afford the extra cost.

    I’ve had all this crap from the BBC over the last 3yrs. I moved to sheltered accommodation and left my previous home empty. I own my home outright but choose to leave it empty in the present hosing market. I have a friend check the house every month or so and there’s a stack of demands from TV licensing. These as you’ve described are threatening and anyone else sending these would likely be prosecuted for harassment. I’ve called them and explained it’s an empty house and they took note but said the letters would start again after 6 months. These bastards are round the bend. I pay my license for my new home and really don’t mind £3 per week and actually think it’s pretty good value but their strong arm tactics are not on as is the cancellation of the over 75’s free licenses. I’m already being hit by a council tax premium which doubles the tax on my empty home and still charged the full water and sewage rates for an empty home for 3 years. They’re all at it trying to screw the public for every penny they can get. Greed isn’t in their vocabulary the thieving bastards👎😡😡😡

    All that makes perfect sense. However there's two things I think should be addressed.
    1) The warrants the bailiffs say they have but refuse to produce, aren't warrants in the true sense. They're printed en masses at a bulking centre in Nottingham. No magistrate or any official have any sight of them let alone sign them. How can these possibly be legal?
    2) Why do the Police attend? (I know in case there's a breach of the peace blah blah blah) but why do they assist the bailiffs who are the ones breaching the peace by knocking at your door and demanding money with menaces. It's a civil matter and they should only get involved if a breach of the peace occurs.
    So really the issue is not just with the BBC, but also the legal system that supports them. The whole thing is rotten to the core.

      The police who attend when a (so called] ‘warrant’ is attempting to be used, are being paid by the corporation to attend to assist these arseholes in their activities. Therefore they are no longer operating under their oath of public service and as a result they are no longer operating as a police constable. Therefore technically they no longer have any official authority. Only perceived authority who most people defer to out of ignorance.
      The moment they are asked by you to behave impartially and act under their oath they then are then forced by law to become impartial and can no longer work for the people trying gain entry.
      ..........
      If they refuse to act under their oath you can then call the police that are on normal public service duty to attend [who are not being paid by then] who will genuinely be there to keep the peace.
      But this is all subject to the police having personal integrity. (Good luck with that)
      ........
      If it gets to the fake warrant stage it already too late.
      Best way is to Never allow them to know your name, this way they are impotent and powerless.
      They cannot get warrant on an address, they can only get one on a person at an address.

      True 👍
      When any government controlled company [BBC / Parking Ticket / council Tax etc] get you into court it will be a ‘Magistrates Court’ and not a ‘Criminal Court’
      A criminal court is presided over by a Judge who sits impartially to control the proceedings to establish your guilt or innocence.
      A Magistrates Court is a governmental controlled private organisation where everyone there [the court clerk, the prosecuting lawyer, the Magistrate ‘and including your defence lawyer’] are all working for the same organisation.
      You have already been deemed guilty and the entire process is designed to give legal authority over you to extract costs from you.
      .......
      A genuine ‘Warrant’ needs to be signed by a Judge and NOT a Magistrate. Also these bits of worthless paper that they use to coerce entry are not even signed by the Magistrate, they are usually signed by the court clerks which makes them even more farcical.
      ......
      Any policeman that actively assist these arseholes is at best ignorant and blindly following established practices. At worst they are dishonest and corrupt and need to be thrown out of the police service.

      2, The police will help them to make their job easier. If you put up a sign it will stop the goons from knocking, it is legal and the police have to take note of the sign and stop the goon from breaking the law. even if they have a fake warrant(not sign by a judge) you don't have to let them in your home. They can't get any type of warrant if they don't have the name of the person who lives at the home.

      Aye! And today the BBC are training reporters, paying them, and sending them out to newspapers throughout the United Kingdom and you pay for them if you buy a licence or not. The Licence, (read it if you do not believe me), is the licence holder paying the government, not the BBC, for permission to watch live TV from anyone, anywhere. The money goes to HM treasure and the government gives the NNC an annual grant of taxpayer's money. So in fact if you pay tax, (and everyone pays such as VAT), then you pay for the BBC.

    I used to send them junk mail by putting other firms junk mail I steamed open the envelope put in junk mail and put RETURN TO SENDER on the front they never knew who it came from. I have only had one court visit when I put a 22" monitor on the desk and in no uncertain terms asked them to find the fucking aerial connector, case dropped. the other Goon visit was in March 2017 when he tried to get in and I threw him into a concrete stairwell. The police left after 20 minutes saying he can sort it out with their bosses or words to that effect. I wouldn't open the door to them.

    TV is so bad in the UK today , I actually unplugged permanently as far back as 2003. I get letters from them all the time, I just throw them out, , unopened, into the recycling. Even if you bother to contact them to tell them you do not own set [[like in my case] you will still get more threatening letters from them regardless. Just ignore them, if you are not watching telly you have nothing to worry about.
