TV licensing investigation..

[Consumer dude]

Be interesting to know what there summons looks like..

[Bazooka Boo]

This year they've changed their threat templates, got two missives so far which I've not seen before?!?!

[Consumer dude]

Latest letter is 'we're giving you 10 days to get correctly licensed'.

[Mr.P]

I'm slowly building up a pile of these letters, all addressed to "The Legal Occupier", all unopened. When I get a spare moment, they will all be returned with "Not known at this address" emblazoned across the front.

[obiter dictum]

Just curious with this

 

Where do you stand with streaming with firestick and TV Licence?

So long as you only use catch up but not I Player, and on demand, do not watch live broadcast streams as in a sheduled programme watched as it is broadcast, watch DVD Bluray, or VHS, TV detuned from Freeview, no aerial connected to tv no sky box, then no need for a License at all. the folks over at tvlicensing.blogspot.co.uk have all the info anyone needs to see if they need a TV license.

I have had so many investigations but none have every been concluded, surely this is harassment.

Of course it is, but try and get the government to admit they harass their own population!

 

Just ignore their silly letters, they hold no weight at all.

[Consumer dude]

This latest letter begins, You know. We know. What does that even mean ?.

[honeybee13]

What's the rest of the letter, CD?

The usual nonsense, but it begins with You know. We know, as kind of implying something Is known by me.

I recall it was the opening words of a song in the 1970's. It is now driving me mad to think who sang it. Mud I think. Wouldnt that be applicable. The chorus goes You know I know I'm never gonna let you go ( repeated) Always yours. Well they certainly dont wanna let you go do they?

Wrong decade i think. Do you mean Yazoo Don't go ?

Have you not completed their form, which tells them you don't watch TV. If you don't complete the form, they presume you watch or record live TV programmes.

They shouldn't presume anything, why should I confirm that I don't need a TV, as I don't believe I am obliged to.

[Mr.P]

They shouldn't presume anything, why should I confirm that I don't need a TV, as I don't believe I am obliged to.

 

There is no legal requirement to notify the TVL that a TV licence is not required. Anecdotal evidence on the web would suggest that filling in the form doesn't stop the endless barrage of threat-o-grams anyway.

 

My strategy is to pop the unopened letters back in the post with "RTS Not known at this address" across the front. When they stop addressing me as "The Legal Occupier", I'll reconsider my response.

I collect all mine, got 90 odd now!?!

 

If they're addressing them to the legal occupier, you've won, as you're never going to give them the information they demand, and most certainly not to one of their clueless doorstep goons!

[ericsbrother]

No, definitely not that. I shall have to make my wife suffer my singing and get her to name that tune.

[BazzaS]

No, definitely not that. I shall have to make my wife suffer my singing and get her to name that tune.

 

If your singing is that bad, shouldn't it be "maim that tune"?

[unclebulgaria67]

No, definitely not that. I shall have to make my wife suffer my singing and get her to name that tune.

Perhaps TV licencing can use you as an enforcement weapon. They threaten to send you around to houses without a licence to entertain with your singing. After a few renditions of the neighbours theme tune, people will be rushing online to buy a licence.

Or a shotgun.... Please folks, don't do this. Guns solve nothing, and bad singing only leads to more trouble.

Perhaps I should start my own investigation and inform them that this is the case, are they likely to respond ?.

Well yes investigate a capita goon by filming him if he visits, and tell him you are investigating Capita goons for deceit. Caution him for good measure.

[Consumer dude]

Another letter today, who is this J Hales who has signed to confirmed an enforcement visit has been approved ?.

[Bazooka Boo]

J Hales, is I think? Another figment of their imagination!!
