There is nobody investigating anything, only threat-o-grams and door maggots. One should never contact or have any dealings with a company that issues threats and repeatedly lies to you.
It beggars belief that these commission grifters would expect a lone female parent, possibly with small children at home or a little old lady, an elderly man with perhaps dementia or someone who requires a carer to let them into their home. Given the criminal/ fraudulent activities that go on now ...its madness. And those letters are blatantly threatening. The BBC should do us all a favour and Far Cough.
No don't send back the Threatograms,you are inadvertently giving Crapita 😊 you return their letters, they then know that your address is "live",IE there is someone living there.😊😊😊I stopped paying the telly tax over 7 years ago,and have received over 80 Threatograms!!!!
I just blackout the address and put return to sender. Just thought it might cost them more money. Sent all the nhs covid tests and cancer tests back as well.
Its not legal and neither is council tax energy water all corporations. And people don't own there cars you are only the keeper not the owner on V 5 you may not be the owner ? No one is its all corrupt they have been doing it for hundreds of years. Nothing is yours not even your children.
How are they getting away with calling it a licence??? Driving, yeah. Owning a gun, yup, fishing, yeah ... but watching the poxy telly?? ffs... what a joke
What they hate the most is .. that anyone can watch and they can’t prove it … thanks for all of your dedication and vital information… I still remember the day I found out that T.V Detector vans that most of the streets were worried about was a lie ❤
They're onto me now. I registered as not needing TV licence + that was supposed to stand for 2 years. That was about six months ago. Now I've had a letter saying I didn't respond. I'm following your advice.
After 2 years after canceling the TV license. Got a letter. Sent a email back to them telling them I don't need a licence I do not pay Goverment BBC funding war mongers, Lying media corporation phycopathic perverted discussing kiddy fiddlers. Don't ever call me, Email me or contact me or I will take them to Court.
I claim no licence needed with names of Jim saville Stewart hall Hugh Edwards doctor occupier and more with local takeaways pH number and made up emails and still haven't had a visit😂
Why? Has he won a tennis match or driven his car fast? Or invaded somewhere warm...? I'm certain he wouldn't want to be associated with such riff-raff.
it was the threatening letters that made my mind up to stop having a telly six or seven years later I don't miss it, all repeats anyway totally not worth it.. they can duck off and do one..🙄
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 got another one yesterday, written on it that it was put through my letterbox at 8.35am after I didn’t answer. I was at work but wouldn’t have opened the door anyway - I’d have said no thanks from an upstairs window. It says an ‘officer’ will be back because I’ve not answered their previous letters. 🤷♀️
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.
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
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. 😱
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'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.
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.
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.
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
Everyone should repost there letters back. Do not contact me again with dog shit in them. Millions of people see what they think about that. I bet the letters will stop. 😂😂
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
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
Oh no, they've begun an investigation, whatever will you do! Quick, close the curtains, and hide behind the sofa. Or, alternatively, do nothing and ignore these idiots.
I send the letters back with the address scrubbed out, as with every unsolicited piece of material. Had one from the N H S, the other day, posted it back to them.
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.
Even if I don't need license, why should I give my name, personal details to the Private Company? TV licensing is private company.. Not a government organization. If they are government organization they could've easily retrieve my name from government database.
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.
Mate, I haven't had a licence for 30 years. I get my monthly letter, addressed to the legal occupier, which goes into the recycling. I'm on the electoral register, it used to be around £3.00 to check, so the "investigation" is rubbish. I've never had a knock on the door.
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?
I got a letter today.. I put it straight on the bin.. Not had a licence for over 4 years now. Don't watch BBC ITV 4 OR 5 nothing on there of interest.. And iv never watched I Player.... I pay for Netflix Disney + prime and TH-cam I watch these...
I'm interested to know if anyone EVER in the history of TV licence fines has been fined £1000 + ? I sat as a magistrate for many years and NEVER heard about or saw it.
Going by the title it sounds like the TV licence people are trying to say you should answer the door to them even if you are sat on the pot (toilet) while taking a sh!t
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.
_"When you say jump, I have to shit on the shovel"_ --ChilliJoeCarne 2024 Amazing amalgamation of quotes, formed a new one to stay here. EDIT: I've only ever had one _"visit"_ and it was a single letter with pen through the door, they never even knocked on my door. Maybe as I have a drive with a garage and no car so they assumed I'm home? It's bizarre.
I sued Crapita for failing to refund two surrendered TV licences promptly. They failed to file a defence. They tried to wriggle out of it. I got a default judgment. I invited them to speak to the Court Bailiff. They paid up with the Court fee and interest. Always sue them.
I know it's not much, but every sheet of paper, every postage fee, and every visit (not that they happen) costs the BBC money. Death by millions of cuts
How much of the TV licence fee money is wasted sending out these letters? How much is wasted paying someone to keep compiling these piles of garbage? How much of the TV licence fee is wasted paying companies like Capita so that they can send round bully-boy enforcement agent/salesmen to harass innocent citizens? What percentage of the public just tell these salesmen to piss off? How much of the TV licence fee money do the BBC just waste?
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.
Instead of everyone moaning about it, we could quite easily crowd fund someone such as BBB to take this issue to Judicial review. My own irritant with these is that the envelope with its second window is clearly recognisable as TVL and it's meaning is obvious and therefore they are communicating matters private to myself, or you or whomever, to the outside World. That is against GDPR. It may not end TVL but it's a damned good start.
Jon, those of us that do not watch any TV as it is broadcast live nor access iPlayer, are correctly licenced anyway, so just shred the letters and use as mulch in your garden. In the 40 plus years of not needing to buy a licence, I must have received 500 plus letters that equals a full ream of paper for letters plus the equivalent in envelopes. The BBC obviously does not care about climate change, because of all the resources used to print these letters and manhandling for the letters to go from their distribution center to my letter box. If the BBC stopped sending these letters think how much better our planet would be, but I must admit the only thing that would grow in this case, would be the dole queue.
"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'.
62 years old and never had a licence, decided at 12 years old that I would never fund the BBC after Mr savile tried to r4pE my best friends sister.
Hyde park resident then? From a burley person near Savilles mother.
There is nobody investigating anything, only threat-o-grams and door maggots. One should never contact or have any dealings with a company that issues threats and repeatedly lies to you.
Day 3 of not paying my tv licence anymore thsnks to this channel thanks my friend, much-loved frome wales uk❤
Congratulations. God bless you
Almost one year for me. Made it last year’s resolution.
Approaching 20 years for me.
Well done 👍
I have had 8 years of these letters and no one has turned up! 😂
My theory is that the goons normally only trawl the poorer areas where there is a large density of likely victims.
15yrs for me 😁
Seriously? Hahahaha!
Don't tell them anything just stop paying and ignore them
Why should we pay for the bbc the bbc should pay us to watch their shitty channels
I still wouldn’t watch it
@shaunrye7740 if i was getting paid i might consider it 😆
They would have to pay me to watch EastEnders 😫 if it's still on ???

I sued Crapita for failing to refund two surrendered TV licences promptly. They failed to file a defence. They tried to wriggle out of it. I got a default judgment. I invited them to speak to the Court Bailiff. They paid up with the Court fee and interest. Always sue them.
Haven't got a licence and I'm not getting one. Don't need one. If I did I'd get one. Simple
Thanks Jon :o)
I've had multiple investigations started, I live in a village and it's probably not worth sending the goons from an hour away to knock on my door
Crock of shite mate and just like their email attack designed to provoke some response! Cheers John.
In Australia, TV viewing licensing was abolished in 1974.
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 😁🤪😂😂😂
I know it's not much, but every sheet of paper, every postage fee, and every visit (not that they happen) costs the BBC money. Death by millions of cuts
How much of the TV licence fee money is wasted sending out these letters? How much is wasted paying someone to keep compiling these piles of garbage?
How much of the TV licence fee is wasted paying companies like Capita so that they can send round bully-boy enforcement agent/salesmen to harass innocent citizens?
What percentage of the public just tell these salesmen to piss off?
How much of the TV licence fee money do the BBC just waste?
Their letters are on par with 'You spilt my pint?'
Awsome mate keep it going 😅
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.
Instead of everyone moaning about it, we could quite easily crowd fund someone such as BBB to take this issue to Judicial review. My own irritant with these is that the envelope with its second window is clearly recognisable as TVL and it's meaning is obvious and therefore they are communicating matters private to myself, or you or whomever, to the outside World. That is against GDPR. It may not end TVL but it's a damned good start.
Could you imagine if your name was Mr Present Occupier 🤔🤣🤣
Jon, those of us that do not watch any TV as it is broadcast live nor access iPlayer, are correctly licenced anyway, so just shred the letters and use as mulch in your garden.
In the 40 plus years of not needing to buy a licence, I must have received 500 plus letters that equals a full ream of paper for letters plus the equivalent in envelopes.
The BBC obviously does not care about climate change, because of all the resources used to print these letters and manhandling for the letters to go from their distribution center to my letter box.
If the BBC stopped sending these letters think how much better our planet would be, but I must admit the only thing that would grow in this case, would be the dole queue.
Just received my monthly delivery of toilet paper from Darlington! 👍👍
Hello Sainsbury's.... Hi I'm just calling to let you know I don't need milk next week. 🤔😂
