Forward all these letters to your local MP and ask them why the law allows harassment from TV Licencing? Any other business and it would be illegal.

I'm old enough to previously qualify for a free TV licence. Normally due around January, I hadn't needed to pay for 3 years. When they reneged last July, it wasn't just the demand for payment that got up my nose - it was their expectation that a retired person living off a pension and some benefits could simply come up with 160 quid at a stroke. I certainly wasn't going to sign any open-ended direct debit that didn't display an amount - not on my limited income. I've ignored their letters since. Worse to come. Just before Xmas I heard from a neighbouring retired couple who had taken fright at the letters and paid the licence, even though their financial circumstances are worse than mine. How had they paid? By handing over best part of the Winter Heating Allowance they had just received!!! These BBC licence thugs must have no morals at all. If we had a government worth spit, they'd be made to crawl back under the rocks they came from.

Cancelled my BBC licence eleven years ago as I no longer owned a tv set as it went bang so there is nothing that the Ministry Of Truth licence goons can do to make me buy one as no tv set equals no requirement for me to have a tv licence. I informed the Ministry Of Truth that I no longer needed a licence as I no longer had a tv set {Even when I had a tv set I rarely watched as it was all woke or just unwatchable crap or repeats} If by informing the Ministry Of Truth that you are legally licence free will stop the goons and threatograms it doesnt. It was less than six months before i started getting the goons and threatograms. The threatograms went in the recycle bin unopened and unread and the goons once identified were ignored and the door closed in their face. And dont say anything to a goon and deffo dont sign anything. If a goon asks you to sign anything it will almost certainly be a TVL 178 form which goons have been known to falsify to get a search warrent to meet their target, £20 commision for each licence sold on the doorstep or conviction for tv licence evasion. Dont WOIRA the BBC/TVL goons WOIRAs used to work Now goons either ignore the WOIRA or use the WOIRA as proof that they are dealing with a live address and so they can up their enforcement efforts. Another tacic that I have found effective when dealing with BBC/TVL goons is if you move is to "forget" to inform the Ministry Of Truth licencing of your new address which there is no legal requirement to do so. So to deal with a Ministry Of Truth licence goon just; #1 Identfy #2 Ignore once identified as a BBC/TVL licence goon #3 Say nowt #4 Sign nowt #5 Shut the door #4 Sign nowt is the most important as that TVL 178 form is what BBC/TVL will use in court to get a search warrnet.

That means that if they then come back again they are committing the crime of aggravated trespass. I backed up this with a three line letter confirming that. I never heard a dickie bird there after.

Yes. Just close the door, no communication with them. I also have a shredder

That’s what you should do with most letters. Don’t just bin it make sure it’s shredded as it likely still contains your address on it.

My favourite part of these letters, is when they GIVE THEMSELF AUTHORISATION to come to your house 😂😂😂😂 It's so freaking childish, it shocks me that an adult wrote that.

Not paid this tax in over 20 odd years, the last eight years I've had letters, and I just bin them. Had a few with a date on and the red letter saying an investigation has been started.

We should be billing capita for the time. Seeing as though they didn’t turn up for the appointments they made. Some people will have been terrified by this letter and stayed home all day waiting for them. Maybe it’s time to push back a little bit

They get round it by stating in the small print 'or another day'. Like they're really gonna let you know when they're gonna visit and take away their main tool, the element of surprise!

I've been getting these letters every month for the past 6 years, and no one has ever turned up.

I have a "friend" AKA The Occupier who got his first TV around 1975 he gave his parents address at purchase as they always had a TV licence. Apart from a short period when he was living in a married quarter in the RAF he's never had a TV licence or a visit he tells me. What he does have is a shredder by the front door in which all junk mail goes into. He tells me it's quite satisfying listening to the shredder grind up all the junk mail.

The burden of proof is upon Crapita. No consent, no contract, no assured liability. !!!!DENIED!!!!. Basically they are communicating threats by way of extortion which "IS" a crime in this country. Thanks for sharing.

Remember the saying " no contact no contract "

I had same letter same date still waiting for the visit 😂😂

Had plenty of these they just go in the pile to BURN.

Spot on video Jon. Had one of these dated threatograms. An inspector did turn up - but not on the date of the letter. It is essentially a hard sell - not much more than that.

We moved into a new house last month, the house had been empty for a few years and there where a PILE of these silly letters. Funny to think they where spending time and money threatening to visit an empty house to see if they had a tv liscence 🤣👍🏻

Because I ignored the letter (since I DO have a licence because I watch iplayer from time to time) they sent a threatening one to my elderly landlady! These people have no shame. Scared the hell out of her and I had to send her the proof I had a licence so she could forward it to them. I could handle them, but she was scared out of her mind. This is WRONG!

LOL. just received one of these, i'm kind of hoping they turn up, my two bull dogs just love strangers entering my garden uninvited.

Legally, your garden isn't quite as private as you would like. You would need to take specific steps to stop people entering, and even then, your rights to remove them are quite limited. Unless committing a crime, any 'stranger' who is attacked by, or believes you are threatening them by saying that the dogs will attack, is quite within their rights to report it to the police. It's no different to any other kind of assault. I guess you wouldn't want your dogs destroyed?

Thank you very much Chilli♥️. I cancelled my TV licence last year because there isn't anything worth watching these days. It's all complete trash and a complete waste of money. I haven't had any problems from TV Licencing yet (touch wood) but it's handy to know how to deal with them should the occasion arise.

We got one of these letters. I replied and said "What time? I'll put the kettle on". Surprise surprise, no visit. Who remembers the old detector van BS?

@silentflier5144

3 жыл бұрын

The old detector vans could actually pick up radiated signals from the old 485/525 line TVs so they could really tell what you were watching, and that was considered sufficient proof. These days, with modern electronics and digital signals they can't detect anything. If they say they can tell what you are watching - they are lying. Just shut the door on them.

Yes, I got one with a specific date, I just put it with the rest of my junk mail. Unfortunately I won't be at home on the specified date, I have to go and feed the pigeons on the park, ah well.

Nice that you are helping those who are intimidated, and thank you for doing so. Can I add my ten penneth too. You are not obliged to buy anything at the door, be it a vacuum cleaner or a TV licence, just say no thanks and dismiss them, dont engage in any conversation at all. I get their letters all the time, I usually look at them have a chuckle and throw them away.

We have had at least three threat'o'grams from tv licensing over the past 6 weeks, each with a date of when they say a "enforcement officer" will be visiting my property to "inspect" whether or not we need to pay for a tv licence. The thing is we have phoned them and informed them that we don't need a tv licence and only watch Netflix and KZread, but we still get these threats.

I have never had a tv licence but a few years ago I bought a new tv and since then have had a ridiculous amount of these dated letters, yet not had a single visit, I made sure I was home on these dates because I am looking forward to telling them exactly what I think about their tactics and scaremongering, whoever knocks is going to wish he stayed in bed as I am sick to death of these threats, just who do they think they are... I am sure they must be breaking a law sending out threatening letters to people who have never asked for their service in the first place, it has got beyond a joke

they were meant to come to my house on the 10th of this month luckily for them they didn't turn up

Thanks mate I'm joining your gang. You're doing a great job.

They put a date on the letter to prompt you to get a silly license.

Imagine a gas and electric company sending threating letters and goons to your door because you use a different source, No judge would give these idiots powers

"going to visit the family" as a suggestion to avoid the visit - IF ONLY. I think the penalty of Covid breach is more hassle than a tv capita staff member knocking on your door. Anyway, after waiting 6 months for the contract to expire - Sky is cancelled and no more live TV nor desperation to use iplayer - WIFE FINALLY CANCELLED THE LICENSE DIRECT DEBIT VIA BANKING APP TODAY :-) She wouldn't cancel before Sky was gone because she was frightened.

Thanks for taking the trouble to post this good advice.

Has anyone ever filed for harassment if they do not legally have a TV License, as surely if you have filled in all the forms this could be construed as unwarranted harassment.

Thanks Jon as always keep up the good work

4 soon to be unemployed inspectors gave this the thumbs down I see !

I am not in the least bit worried if and when the capita goons came calling to my door as I wouldn't open the door to them in any case and would ignore all there threatening letters but I am very worried about all those people who wouldn't know to do that and that is why your videos are very helpful not for my own sake but for all those who are not clued up on what to do so keep your videos coming

Ignore TV Licencing entirely. If they ever show up. Just stare them out and continue to ignore them. The stream of letters are a useful source of firelighters.
