How is it that they can harass you people dozens of times a year yet if you send a letter to an individual at the bbc asking them to stop harassing you with letters there are good odds the old bill will turn up. Obviously two tier policing. BBC = BUGGERING BRITISH CHILDREN .
I'd like to propose a future video. It would be interesting for you to interview a local Trading Standards officer about what BBC Licensing are and are not allowed to do, and what complaints ratepayers can make.
A relatively big youtuber by the name Charles Veitch recently spoke about receiving one of these letters on a livestream, might be worth getting in touch, if you can help HIM learn you also help another HUGE audience!
Another thing to point out - goons received commission for sales generated via their "We Said We'd Call" cards - that's why they include their VPN on the front on the card. It is in their interests to drop as many of these cards as they can.

'You can be fined up to £1,000 for watching live TV without a licence!'... So what, you can also be fined up to £2,500 for fishing without a licence... but you don't get the Environment Agency sending letters or banging on people's doors to check for fishing rods do you?
A complete stranger at the door of a vulnerable person, could actually be a criminal intent on entering your house to steal & harm you. Do not under any circumstances open your door if you’re alone in the house.
Exactly. My grandmother let a ‘electric person ‘ enter her house and was robbed. Mum told you many times don’t open the door to strangers. All of you follow that advice to all door knockers. All. They will go away ‘ empty handed. The Police don’t publish how many of YOU who get robbed by imposters. Too many. . Thieves are loving this fake badge , goodbye your treasured possessions. Where are the facts of this. Makes my blood boil.
@@honestchris7472 The post was about vulnerable people,. If you think tv license goons should be scaring old people or anyone for that matter, then you’re a sad individual indeed.
@@honestchris7472 These videos explain that many people actually don’t need a tv license. They are goons. I’ve seen and stopped 2 harassing 1st an old neighbour who had just lost her husband 63 years old. He heard more foul language off me than the goon had heard in his life. 2nd harassing a 12 year old kid whose parents were out. Close the door I said , then again told the goon what he was doing wrong. Bunch of cunts all of them. The letters people get sent are unbelievable, threatening and atrocious. The BBC should introduce ‘boxes’ the same as other companies. It’s 2021 not 1971.
People just remember, you do not have to hide from them. You are doing nothing wrong so when you ignore them or close the door in their face. They are the ones in the wrong, not you.
Thank you Jon for your inspirational advice. Thanks to your Tuitional Videos, I got my £80.00 Refund. Together with the non-payments since I cancelled my Direct Debit: That leaves me with well over £120.00 extra in my Bank Account. And with Christmas around the corner... Fantastic! Keep up the Great Work Jon.
I've had Letters Before My Licence Ran Out. BBC and Capita Haven't A Clue What Each One of Them Us Doing. They can both take A Long Walk Off A Short Pier!!!
keep putting these videos out jon lots of people i know do talk about a block on youtube called chillijoncarne when talking about the tv licence so i believe you do help a lot mate any tv licence goon comes to my door i send the misses out state of her with no makeup on scare the goon into not paying his licence tax all the best jon
Hey Jon, as a thought don't ignore the letters send them back unopened and write on them "RETURN TO SENDER, REFUSED." Any junk mail returned in this way, the sender has to pay the return cost.
Your advice is the best on TH-cam and we can only thank you for all the work you do on this subject. I have been licence free for almost two years now and I have an no licence needed declaration that will expire in February next year. I don't intend to have any further contact with TV licencing as I feel there's really is no need. I am quite happy to close the door on any goon visit and be polite in doing so but on any subsequent visit I may not be as polite and just tell them to fcuk off as I am not a very tolerant person depending on how I'm feeling on the day due to my health.
I cancelled My Milkman a couple of years ago because I no longer drink Milk, He doesn't keep leaving Bottles on My Doorstep and keep Hassling Me for Payment! That is what it is, Bullying and Harassment and how the Law allows this is staggering, I know it's easier to just shut the door, but I will give them something to think about if They have the nerve to try an Harass Me.
My new notice on my property reads.. Cold callers, You are being recorded, you will be charged £50.00 to ring/knock on my door. Every minute you are on my property, illegally, you will be charged a subsequent £12.00 per minute. Worked so far. 👍
Just had a wall put up and gates Made and this will go on my wall too No cold Callers and the Charges, As I have had Cameras put up Thanks badninja1971
I told them that I didnt need a licence years ago, they still send letters. The idea that they can ignore your declaration after two years and start trying to bully you again just shows what a protection racket the whole thing really is. I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a fishing licence, I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a scrap metal licence, I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a skip licence, why the hell should I have to tell them I dont need a TV licence?
Surly of all the licences that SHOULD have random spot checks is the firearms licence LMAO I dont have a firearms licence but in the BBCs mind i absolutely have a weapons cache ready to use
The worst part of the scandal of how the BBC is funded is that people have to pay them if they wish to watch or record live anything from any other broadcaster. How this can possibly be justified and why hardly any politician comments upon it is beyond me. I'd write to my MP about this but he is useless and would probably ignore me anyway, probably thinking that the BBC may stop inviting him to spout his crap to the nation if he made any representations to them on my behalf.
@@honestchris7472 If the BBC offer a good service, they should be confident that they could sell subscriptions and/or attract advertising. Unfortunately, apart from the occasional natural history documentary, they don't. Most of their output is repeats of low quality "entertainment" and politically biased current affairs programming. The BBC exists primarily for the benefit of the BBC and the main concerns of its bosses are their phoney-baloney jobs and nice, fat index linked pensions.
@@antygod None, but of course, it is a question of degree and how much one finds acceptable, including the use of pejorative terms in descriptions of events. The BBC presenter, yesterday, for example, on its radio version of "Question Time" (I forget the name of the show. I'm not a regular listener), described Johnson's letter to Macron as having being "splattered all over" Twitter instead of "put" on Twitter. The BBC do such things all the time. The use of such language reveals a high degree of bias and is just one of the many ways, some subtle, some not so, in which the BBC tries to promote its own political agenda. The lack of diversity of background at the BBC, of course, means that it may have an agenda more strictly adhered to by all its people than would be the case with other media outlets. It is time the BBC was abolished.
Just ignore it's that simple Only you can get yourself prosecuted by admitting to watching live TV It's impossible to prove in court so never speak to them , never sign anything Just ignore them and that way they'll have nothing to go on Remember they have to prove not you disprove.
I didn't tell them that I don't need a licence because their "Don't need a licence" questionnaire is obviously designed to catch people out with ambiguous and technical questions. I get numerous threatening letters, I ignore them and if they want to call I won't open the door. I actually get a kick out of wasting their time, petrol, postage and shoe leather.
Blackbelt Barrister did a video on this recently. It's worded in such a way that it is impossible to answer the questions truthfully without it saying you need a licence.
Thanks mate,i have just had a visit from a all smiles goon,he gave my door a knock and i answered via a window at the side of my door,,he told me who he was and i said sorry you wasted your time i dont need a licence but thanks anyway and closed the window,,after which he put this letter in the box with his name in the officer box and number,,,,cheeky bastard
I used to work for Equita, part of Crapita. They are the ones that come out to the door. I worked in IT there and can tell you that these guys will do whatever they can to get money out of you. They all have a laugh in the offices for upsetting people, I kid you not. I had to leave the job for the immoral way they treat people. The only time in my career I have left a job because I just couldn't work for them. Absolute goons!! I will say, out of all the channels on youtube, what this guy says is absolutely true. Don't answer any questions at all, confirm nothing at all. Just say no thank you and close the door.
I disagree with informing them that you don’t need a licence. They have no business knocking on doors in the first place. I’ve had loads of letters (addressed to the previous owner of the house) and they get ignored. At my last house I had the same, and I wrote back telling them they were not allowed on my property. I have yet to have a visit, but if I do they will get told in very rich colourful language to go away and not come back - there won’t be any politeness involved, and if they don’t like it they can get a worthwhile job instead of being a leaching scumbag.
TV licence goons have been to my home 4 times in the last 5 Years ... They ALL get the same reply 1) Goon knocks at the door 2) Brian looks through the spyhole in the door 3) Brian asks... Who is it 4) Goon says ... TV licencing 5) Silence ...
The problem with your idea of putting the infermation in regards to iplayer in the red box is being nice dosnt sell tv livcence. i do agree they need to start with that. i think we should all start sending them threterning letters demanding money from them see how they like it.
I reiterate : Bill of Rights 1689 “ Promises of fines and forfeitures before conviction are illegal and void “ The Bill of Rights are still in force today 2021.
Have cancelled my TV licence now I know the true facts about what you can and can't do, I never watch live TV or BBC Iplayer but kept the license to stop any hassle, now I'll be treating myself to a extra takeaway once a month and pretend it's a present from the BBC
thats why I've got a "No Cold Calling" sign next to my door bell. Open door and point and close door. Its also next to the CCTV sign- gives them the shits.
they say they will visit after informing them you don't need a licence, to be sure your not watching tv that your not permitted to. If you play a straight game you have nothing to worry about
I liked being one of the numbers that let them know, I always thought that is where the power is, but I'm coming round to just thinking unlicensed with no contact could be where the power in the movement is
I HAVE HAD LETTERS WHILE STILL HAVING AND WAS PAYING FOR THE BBC TAX. THAT WAS LATE LAST YEAR ABD EARLIER THUS YEAR. I'D SWEAR THAT NEITHER BBC OR CAPITA GOONS ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. !!!
I made a declaration that I do not need a TV licence to the goons and so far I have had 6 letters saying I need a licence. So, even if they are told they still send you crap.
TOP TIP:- I think you'll like this Jon. Every time you receive a letter, write on the top 'RETURN TO SENDER'. TV licensing then have to pay the return postage! Imagine if we all did it!!!!😁👍
Why are some people still frightened of TV licence goons it beats me, I have NEVER had a licence and I am 77, also I don't have a fire arms licence,,a fishing license,,pilots licence,, Reason I don't have a gun,,A fishing rod,,or an aeroplane,,And no one bothers me on these But if they bring cat licences in I won't be happy I have six of them,,
A couple of/a few years ago at my old property someone visited while I was out but I didn't get a letter, I got a small red card I think it was square in size and not much bigger than credit card width. It wasn't clear who it was from by looking at the front but it was asking me to call a number, I studied it for a bit and then it dawned on me it was just another tactic of TV licensing to trick people. There are some of the cards on google images, I think mine was like those (google red tv license card, or something like that) and it goes to show what they will try to think up to try and make you think you've done something wrong when you haven't.
I use Google when I've had a random phone number on my mobile, and it lead me to a website where people have had that same number and left feedback explaining it was either a scam call or sales person.
If you don't have a driving licence you don't get the DVLA knocking on your door asking why just in case you decide to drive a car. What makes the tv license so special?
considering all the repeats on their services, I would state them them it isn't a license when are selling a FTA tv service and the fact is the bbc makes more money off dvd/bd sales and international sales of their content...
I have a double garage at my house but I don't get threatening letters from the DVLA saying I should be taxing two cars, and they don't send goons around to search either.
In todays world, why would you be stupid enough to open the door when someone knocks on it, unless you have ordered pizza. Even if its the neighbours after a cup of sugar, they'll text you first. 9 times out of 10, answering the door or bell is just bad news.
Got my first letter yesterday addressed to my (deceased better half) saying our licence runs out soon... what licence? Don't have or need 1 lol..plus previous licence ran out (stopped paying) over a year ago
Jon sounds like you are starting to rethink signing the 2 year waver. Good. As you indicate here they can potentially come round anyway regardless. Really it's just an underhand way of collecting data. Never surrender your data to any organisation voluntarily for simply convenience, it's more valuable to them than you think and more often than not a trick.
I have not had a TV set for 15 years. I told them I do not own a TV. I get a letter every two years. I say my circumstances have not changed. I have not had a visit in 10 years. When I had a licence They spelled my name incorrectly. I put not known at this address. I then had a letter addressed to "the legal occupier" I put my name as Theo C Cupier (the occupier).
A couple of days ago I had one of these - my wife gets very panicky mentioning fines, prison etc she won't be calmed. However, and this might just be coincidence, a number of local residents have reported seeing a person wearing a balaclava skulking in their back gardens in the evenings - the police as usual say they might call round in a few days! - could this be one of these goons trying to get evidence of TV use by peering in through back windows although I'm sure that any "evidence" gained this way wouldn't be admissible.
if I catch somebody in my back garden at night wearing a balaclava it won't be the Police that need calling- it'll be Paramedics on blues and twos.....guaranteed.
@@mikespeers8281 afraid not noye stabbed the officer to death in the aftermath of brinks mat. When he was under surveillance for being a fence to shift all the gold. He was finally arrested for stabbing stephen Cameron to death in a road rage incident on a slip road, for that he got life imprisonment.
@@kevinfroude8679 I doubt the goons are commission only as nobody would work for tv licensing given the pay insecurity and the way things are going mass redundancies will be inevitable, I'd just like to help nail the coffin shut and bury them
"or is currently unoccupied." Why would you tell anyone the address is unoccupied? That's inviting burglary. I don't even tell my neighbours, when I go on holiday.
One in Eight Got a No Licence Needed Confirmation Letter today informing me that they have registered my address as No Licence Needed and that it was valid until November 2023 ( No Red Ink , Just Green). Went onto explain that they may still visit to confirm and won't be writing to me again before my declaration expires. However they did add the caveat " if circumstances changed, we may need to get back in touch earlier". A green highlighted section then explained that their enforcement teams found 1 in 8 people, they visited, who claim NLN are breaking the law. The letter was signed by Jackie Garswood, Customer Service Manager.
Yeah i did this and actually got a letter 9 months later saying they believe circumstance have changed and i was no longer covered by the NLN letter and had to re new it pretty sure someone worked out TH Occupier wasn't a real name 😆
I did this a few years back checked id it said crapita TV licensing I just closed the door never heard from since yes I've had there letters but it gets burnt
I’m 39 and iv never had a tv license and iv never had no one knock at my door “had quite a few letters” but iv not had a letter for a few years lol if they did knock at my door they would only be told to jog on then shut the door,got no time for shit like that
I officially cancelled my licence some 4 months ago and had my first letter the other day. Addressed to the occupier haha. Suffice to say, it went in the bin. So even when you've not long told them you don't need one, they still write to you
Can you imagine having to have a Panasonic license to own a microwave and keep paying Panasonic every time you cook things in other peoples microwaves !
Never gonna pay these guys. I never have and I never will. This is just a racket. No different to the mafia in Sicily. Only the mafia have a code of respect. Which puts them above the BBC and capita as far as I'm concerned.
Blank them, it's just a way better laugh than informing them. The only thing funnier than pulling the strings of TV Licencing is not paying for a licence for 20 years and telling everybody you know their legal rights.
Remember collect ten letters from tvl and send to your MP with complaint of harassment and stress re the threats. Your MP will be the debater and part of the decision to end the license if you don't tell em how do they know?
Would like you to make a video on our many repeats the bbc show in one week. Why pay them when you seen the same program more then two or three times. Especially with Christmas coming up. They will dig out. Only fools/ Eric & Ernie etc..Same old
TBH some of the old stuff is great- I've today dug out all of my bought DVD's to watch over Christmas and the New Year. All the old Christmas Specials.
HI JON THE DVLA use the same tactis instead of just reminding you that you need to renew your tax on your vechicle they send a letter saying tax it or lose it
My mum has recieved 4 letters so far to renew her tv licence .am i under any obligation to inform them she passed away in march.(good look with any prosecution BBC)
Top job, Jon, I wasn't gonna watch any more clips, because it makes my blood boil, but they're are so addictive, watching the BBC slowly go down the toilet
Just had a goon visit, watched him through the kitchen window. A teenager in an 08 Fiesta. He didn't even attempt to knock or ring, just posted the pamphlet above and scurried off again. I haven't had a TV for some 15 years and utterly detest the BBC (the exception is perhaps 6 Music and the World Service on occasion). I used to do the "licence not required" declaration but I refuse to participate in a system I hate so much now. I am one of those weirdos who never answers the door anyway, except when I am expecting parcels.
Don't tell them anything unless they pay you a £50 admin fee first. I used this approach but the tight gits would not pay, they just pissed off. I'm not reducing the fee even if they want to haggle in this way
I'm sure they sent me a couple of letters years ago by recorded delivery, as I was waiting for important mail i had to collect the damn things.If they ever send a postage paid envelope just stick it on an old phone book,box with a brick etc.😉
I don't think that they do that any more. It was just a underhand way of getting some information. I think it ceased when they moved from Bristol to Darlington
Aussies were smart enough to get rid of these bullies in the 70s. They'd drive a 'detector van' up & down your street, claiming they could locate illegal TVs. Then knock on your door & ask about your license. We still had the convict spirit back then, hatred of authority. I remember seeing a government TV license lackey being hounded out of the take-away. I was about 10. Two blokes stood over his table, abusing him until he left. Everyone in that country town knew him & his job & he'd get harassed. Another time my dad saw a different license checker abused at his RSL (serviceman's club). Two blokes roughed him up & threw him out. The government couldn't find takers for the job and eventually cancelled the license system. It's a shame the Brits didn't do something about this fascism decades ago. You're pretty good at standing on your dig.
I got one of these through my letterbox. Funny thing is, no one knocked. I saw the fella walk up to my door, didn't knock, just put it through my letterbox n walked away.
I use freeview. Im not registered with any catch up TV, Netflix or any other. Freeview only. No Licence required other wise it's not freeview is it if I need a licence to watch it. Should I sue the TV industry for mis-selling a product that is blatantly advertised as freeview?

I had one of those letters last month. It gave me a laugh. Was a shame that I was out at the time. Missed shutting the door in their face.
Got my latest 'reminder' this morning... more bin food.
I've had Letters Before My Licence Ran Out.
BBC and Capita Haven't A Clue What Each One of Them Us Doing.
They can both take A Long Walk Off A Short Pier!!!
Yes i agree with you, but are you so polite :-)
If bbc wants my hard earned money, they can bloody well make something worth watching.
well done john! i turned 30 the other day and ive never paid a tv licence and never intend to
keep putting these videos out jon
lots of people i know do talk about a block on
youtube called chillijoncarne when talking about the tv licence
so i believe you do help a lot mate
any tv licence goon comes to my door i send the misses out
state of her with no makeup on scare the goon into not paying his licence tax
all the best jon
Hey Jon, as a thought don't ignore the letters send them back unopened and write on them "RETURN TO SENDER, REFUSED." Any junk mail returned in this way, the sender has to pay the return cost.
I have sent a few back to them but addressed to BBC in London.
@@scudosmyth784 I think they are at Media City now in Manchesterford.
When they are addressed to The Occupier forward them to the Israeli Embassy.
@@mikehudson8884 Capita’s TVL call centre is based at the India Mill, Bolton Road, Darwen, Lancashire.
@@deanwal1962 🤣🤣🤣
Send the letters to Nadine Dorries, and ask her what she will do about it.
She is massively pro BBC & tv license no matter what she says.
Your advice is the best on TH-cam and we can only thank you for all the work you do on this subject. I have been licence free for almost two years now and I have an no licence needed declaration that will expire in February next year. I don't intend to have any further contact with TV licencing as I feel there's really is no need. I am quite happy to close the door on any goon visit and be polite in doing so but on any subsequent visit I may not be as polite and just tell them to fcuk off as I am not a very tolerant person depending on how I'm feeling on the day due to my health.
I cancelled My Milkman a couple of years ago because I no longer drink Milk, He doesn't keep leaving Bottles on My Doorstep and keep Hassling Me for Payment! That is what it is, Bullying and Harassment and how the Law allows this is staggering, I know it's easier to just shut the door, but I will give them something to think about if They have the nerve to try an Harass Me.
My new notice on my property reads..
Cold callers,
You are being recorded, you will be charged £50.00 to ring/knock on my door.
Every minute you are on my property, illegally, you will be charged a subsequent £12.00 per minute.
Worked so far. 👍
Just had a wall put up and gates Made and this will go on my wall too No cold Callers and the Charges, As I have had Cameras put up Thanks badninja1971
The SCAREMONGERING letters are just so full of BS just to get money.
They call it a No Licence Needed Claim.
It's not a claim, it's a *declaration* .
I did it. Simple, online. They said OK. Left alone for a year so far.
I told them that I didnt need a licence years ago, they still send letters. The idea that they can ignore your declaration after two years and start trying to bully you again just shows what a protection racket the whole thing really is. I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a fishing licence, I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a scrap metal licence, I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a skip licence, why the hell should I have to tell them I dont need a TV licence?
Surly of all the licences that SHOULD have random spot checks is the firearms licence LMAO
I dont have a firearms licence but in the BBCs mind i absolutely have a weapons cache ready to use
Great work Jon 👍
The worst part of the scandal of how the BBC is funded is that people have to pay them if they wish to watch or record live anything from any other broadcaster. How this can possibly be justified and why hardly any politician comments upon it is beyond me. I'd write to my MP about this but he is useless and would probably ignore me anyway, probably thinking that the BBC may stop inviting him to spout his crap to the nation if he made any representations to them on my behalf.
@@honestchris7472 If the BBC offer a good service, they should be confident that they could sell subscriptions and/or attract advertising. Unfortunately, apart from the occasional natural history documentary, they don't. Most of their output is repeats of low quality "entertainment" and politically biased current affairs programming.
The BBC exists primarily for the benefit of the BBC and the main concerns of its bosses are their phoney-baloney jobs and nice, fat index linked pensions.
@@honestchris7472 Radios have not been 'covered' by TV licences officially since 1971. Do some reading and less commenting.
@@anonnemo2504 You forgot to mention performance bonuses.
@@anonnemo2504 lets us know which politically unbiased current affairs programs you watch.
@@antygod None, but of course, it is a question of degree and how much one finds acceptable, including the use of pejorative terms in descriptions of events. The BBC presenter, yesterday, for example, on its radio version of "Question Time" (I forget the name of the show. I'm not a regular listener), described Johnson's letter to Macron as having being "splattered all over" Twitter instead of "put" on Twitter. The BBC do such things all the time.
The use of such language reveals a high degree of bias and is just one of the many ways, some subtle, some not so, in which the BBC tries to promote its own political agenda. The lack of diversity of background at the BBC, of course, means that it may have an agenda more strictly adhered to by all its people than would be the case with other media outlets.
It is time the BBC was abolished.
Just ignore it's that simple
Only you can get yourself prosecuted by admitting to watching live TV
It's impossible to prove in court so never speak to them , never sign anything
Just ignore them and that way they'll have nothing to go on
Remember they have to prove not you disprove.
I didn't tell them that I don't need a licence because their "Don't need a licence" questionnaire is obviously designed to catch people out with ambiguous and technical questions. I get numerous threatening letters, I ignore them and if they want to call I won't open the door. I actually get a kick out of wasting their time, petrol, postage and shoe leather.
Blackbelt Barrister did a video on this recently. It's worded in such a way that it is impossible to answer the questions truthfully without it saying you need a licence.
Thanks mate,i have just had a visit from a all smiles goon,he gave my door a knock and i answered via a window at the side of my door,,he told me who he was and i said sorry you wasted your time i dont need a licence but thanks anyway and closed the window,,after which he put this letter in the box with his name in the officer box and number,,,,cheeky bastard
I used to work for Equita, part of Crapita. They are the ones that come out to the door. I worked in IT there and can tell you that these guys will do whatever they can to get money out of you. They all have a laugh in the offices for upsetting people, I kid you not. I had to leave the job for the immoral way they treat people. The only time in my career I have left a job because I just couldn't work for them. Absolute goons!!
I will say, out of all the channels on youtube, what this guy says is absolutely true. Don't answer any questions at all, confirm nothing at all. Just say no thank you and close the door.
Thank you for having a good moral compass
I disagree with informing them that you don’t need a licence. They have no business knocking on doors in the first place. I’ve had loads of letters (addressed to the previous owner of the house) and they get ignored. At my last house I had the same, and I wrote back telling them they were not allowed on my property. I have yet to have a visit, but if I do they will get told in very rich colourful language to go away and not come back - there won’t be any politeness involved, and if they don’t like it they can get a worthwhile job instead of being a leaching scumbag.
TV licence goons have been to my home 4 times in the last 5 Years ... They ALL get the same reply
1) Goon knocks at the door
2) Brian looks through the spyhole in the door
3) Brian asks... Who is it
4) Goon says ... TV licencing
5) Silence ...
I don't even open their stupid letters lol they don't scare me one bit
The problem with your idea of putting the infermation in regards to iplayer in the red box is being nice dosnt sell tv livcence. i do agree they need to start with that. i think we should all start sending them threterning letters demanding money from them see how they like it.
I reiterate : Bill of Rights 1689 “ Promises of fines and forfeitures before conviction are illegal and void “ The Bill of Rights are still in force today 2021.
Have cancelled my TV licence now I know the true facts about what you can and can't do, I never watch live TV or BBC Iplayer but kept the license to stop any hassle, now I'll be treating myself to a extra takeaway once a month and pretend it's a present from the BBC
just make sure its not stale and out of date like their programmes......
Cold calling by any salesman is surely against the law.
thats why I've got a "No Cold Calling" sign next to my door bell. Open door and point and close door. Its also next to the CCTV sign- gives them the shits.
TOP MAN.!!! If anybody deserves an OBE it’s you. Keep up the good fight.
they say they will visit after informing them you don't need a licence, to be sure your not watching tv that your not permitted to. If you play a straight game you have nothing to worry about
Has anyone ever taken them to court for harrasssment?
Hope your feeling better mate
I think i may do the same Jon when my NLN expires in feb i dont think ill bother renewing it
I liked being one of the numbers that let them know, I always thought that is where the power is, but I'm coming round to just thinking unlicensed with no contact could be where the power in the movement is
I HAVE HAD LETTERS WHILE STILL HAVING AND WAS PAYING FOR THE BBC TAX.
THAT WAS LATE LAST YEAR ABD EARLIER THUS YEAR.
I'D SWEAR THAT NEITHER BBC OR CAPITA GOONS ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. !!!
I made a declaration that I do not need a TV licence to the goons and so far I have had 6 letters saying I need a licence. So, even if they are told they still send you crap.
"lLive TV" how is it LIVE when they openly admit that "LIVE TV " has a SEVON SECOND delay.... hardly fuckin live is it
TOP TIP:- I think you'll like this Jon. Every time you receive a letter, write on the top 'RETURN TO SENDER'. TV licensing then have to pay the return postage!
Imagine if we all did it!!!!😁👍
Why are some people still frightened of TV licence goons it beats me, I have NEVER had a licence and I am 77, also I don't have a fire arms licence,,a fishing license,,pilots licence,, Reason I don't have a gun,,A fishing rod,,or an
aeroplane,,And no one bothers me on these
But if they bring cat licences in I won't be happy I have six of them,,
A couple of/a few years ago at my old property someone visited while I was out but I didn't get a letter, I got a small red card I think it was square in size and not much bigger than credit card width. It wasn't clear who it was from by looking at the front but it was asking me to call a number, I studied it for a bit and then it dawned on me it was just another tactic of TV licensing to trick people. There are some of the cards on google images, I think mine was like those (google red tv license card, or something like that) and it goes to show what they will try to think up to try and make you think you've done something wrong when you haven't.
I use Google when I've had a random phone number on my mobile, and it lead me to a website where people have had that same number and left feedback explaining it was either a scam call or sales person.
If you don't have a driving licence you don't get the DVLA knocking on your door asking why just in case you decide to drive a car. What makes the tv license so special?
considering all the repeats on their services, I would state them them it isn't a license when are selling a FTA tv service and the fact is the bbc makes more money off dvd/bd sales and international sales of their content...
I put their letters in the bin ! They have no more power than the pizza delivery boy !
If the property is currently unoccupied. Who are they expecting to call them the ghost of Christmas past perhaps .
I have a double garage at my house but I don't get threatening letters from the DVLA saying I should be taxing two cars, and they don't send goons around to search either.
In todays world, why would you be stupid enough to open the door when someone knocks on it, unless you have ordered pizza. Even if its the neighbours after a cup of sugar, they'll text you first. 9 times out of 10, answering the door or bell is just bad news.
Agree,answering the front door is never to your benefit,always a chugger or sales goon.
Share and spread the word
Got my first letter yesterday addressed to my (deceased better half) saying our licence runs out soon... what licence? Don't have or need 1 lol..plus previous licence ran out (stopped paying) over a year ago
I practice my thousand year stare into the bathroom mirror every morning, so I am ready for the knock.
"You looking at me ?"
Jon sounds like you are starting to rethink signing the 2 year waver. Good. As you indicate here they can potentially come round anyway regardless. Really it's just an underhand way of collecting data. Never surrender your data to any organisation voluntarily for simply convenience, it's more valuable to them than you think and more often than not a trick.
I have not had a TV set for 15 years. I told them I do not own a TV. I get a letter every two years. I say my circumstances have not changed. I have not had a visit in 10 years.
When I had a licence They spelled my name incorrectly. I put not known at this address. I then had a letter addressed to "the legal occupier" I put my name as Theo C Cupier (the occupier).
Never officially declare to them you don't need a licence. They'll want all your personal details before allowing it.
Hmm .. Just post it back, without a stamp. It's their property. I routinely post back all unwanted unsolicited mail.
File said letters in the bin 😁
They promise they'll visit imminently but so far, f all. Could someone from Romford branch pop in?
A couple of days ago I had one of these - my wife gets very panicky mentioning fines, prison etc she won't be calmed. However, and this might just be coincidence, a number of local residents have reported seeing a person wearing a balaclava skulking in their back gardens in the evenings - the police as usual say they might call round in a few days! - could this be one of these goons trying to get evidence of TV use by peering in through back windows although I'm sure that any "evidence" gained this way wouldn't be admissible.
if I catch somebody in my back garden at night wearing a balaclava it won't be the Police that need calling- it'll be Paramedics on blues and twos.....guaranteed.
An Englishman's home is his castle. A goon in the back garden would get filled in as they have no right to be there.
@@bristolmod kenneth noye set the precedent he stabbed a police officer to death in his garden, cop was all i black with a balaclava on.

@@angliscsaxon1288Thinking it through - you're probably correct.
I like these letters... They are going straight to the blue bin! ;-)
"or is currently unoccupied."
Why would you tell anyone the address is unoccupied?
That's inviting burglary.
I don't even tell my neighbours, when I go on holiday.
I'm guessing it's for landlords if they have no tenant in there
If an address is unoccupied who the hell is going to tell them??
@@Hieronymous69 The house could be unoccupied, because you're waiting to sell it, or it's being refurbished.
One in Eight
Got a No Licence Needed Confirmation Letter today informing me that they have registered my address as No Licence Needed and that it was valid until November 2023 ( No Red Ink , Just Green). Went onto explain that they may still visit to confirm and won't be writing to me again before my declaration expires. However they did add the caveat " if circumstances changed, we may need to get back in touch earlier".
A green highlighted section then explained that their enforcement teams found 1 in 8 people, they visited, who claim NLN are breaking the law.
The letter was signed by Jackie Garswood, Customer Service Manager.
Yeah i did this and actually got a letter 9 months later saying they believe circumstance have changed and i was no longer covered by the NLN letter and had to re new it pretty sure someone worked out TH Occupier wasn't a real name 😆
I tell them there welcome to check my property but there is a £150 charge payable in advance and one payment received they can check my tv
I wish we could find a way of legally not paying council tax. That's a con just like the licence fee is.
I did this a few years back checked id it said crapita TV licensing I just closed the door never heard from since yes I've had there letters but it gets burnt
I’m 39 and iv never had a tv license and iv never had no one knock at my door “had quite a few letters” but iv not had a letter for a few years lol if they did knock at my door they would only be told to jog on then shut the door,got no time for shit like that
I officially cancelled my licence some 4 months ago and had my first letter the other day. Addressed to the occupier haha. Suffice to say, it went in the bin. So even when you've not long told them you don't need one, they still write to you
Thanks mate .great advice . We appreciate your help.
Cheers..your doing a good job..
Can you imagine having to have a Panasonic license to own a microwave and keep paying Panasonic every time you cook things in other peoples microwaves !
All this alpha talk will not make it Beta. see what i did there.
Cancelled my licence 18 months ago, haven't had any communication yet! BTW they couldn't pay ME to watch their crap!
I had a letter the other day saying I had a ten day window to get properly licensed 😂😂
Never gonna pay these guys. I never have and I never will. This is just a racket. No different to the mafia in Sicily. Only the mafia have a code of respect. Which puts them above the BBC and capita as far as I'm concerned.
You should replace "investigation" with "harassment"
They ran out of red ink because they used it up on the red envelopes lol
I got one of those letters. promptly shredded it job done.
When does the amount of threatening mail you receive from them become harassment and intimidation? Surely that in its self would be a lawsuit?
Blank them, it's just a way better laugh than informing them. The only thing funnier than pulling the strings of TV Licencing is not paying for a licence for 20 years and telling everybody you know their legal rights.
Enforcement officers should be in a museum because they are so not relevant in 2023
I always find that "I don't need a TV license but i have a shotgun license" works
Remember collect ten letters from tvl and send to your MP with complaint of harassment and stress re the threats. Your MP will be the debater and part of the decision to end the license if you don't tell em how do they know?
Ten, I've got over five years worth and I'm thinking of putting them all back in the post return to sender.
Love your channel 👍😁
In this climate emergency should they be driving to peoples homes to harass them? I think they should be made to use public transport.
Would like you to make a video on our many repeats the bbc show in one week. Why pay them when you seen the same program more then two or three times. Especially with Christmas coming up. They will dig out. Only fools/ Eric & Ernie etc..Same old
i did do something similar a while back
They really are getting money for old rope by re-selling licence holders mostly the same programmes again and again.
TBH some of the old stuff is great- I've today dug out all of my bought DVD's to watch over Christmas and the New Year. All the old Christmas Specials.
HI JON THE DVLA use the same tactis instead of just reminding you that you need to renew your tax on your vechicle they send a letter saying tax it or lose it
Except that's a completely different thing and you will get it impounded if it's untaxed or not sorn.
Even the vans of old were not real scaring ppl who thought they could tell you were watching tv illegally 😍
My mum has recieved 4 letters so far to renew her tv licence .am i under any obligation to inform them she passed away in march.(good look with any prosecution BBC)
I say let them try to take your mum to court and u go in her replacement with death certificate so it costs them money
They'd probably then offer a license at half price, knowing them.
Thank you TH-cam algorithm. I'll put this in the: "things I'll never need to know" file.
Sincerely,
A California resident.
Top job, Jon, I wasn't gonna watch any more clips, because it makes my blood boil, but they're are so addictive, watching the BBC slowly go down the toilet
Just had a goon visit, watched him through the kitchen window. A teenager in an 08 Fiesta. He didn't even attempt to knock or ring, just posted the pamphlet above and scurried off again. I haven't had a TV for some 15 years and utterly detest the BBC (the exception is perhaps 6 Music and the World Service on occasion). I used to do the "licence not required" declaration but I refuse to participate in a system I hate so much now. I am one of those weirdos who never answers the door anyway, except when I am expecting parcels.
Don't tell them anything unless they pay you a £50 admin fee first. I used this approach but the tight gits would not pay, they just pissed off. I'm not reducing the fee even if they want to haggle in this way
I love this channel. I'm in the US, and the TV license model fascinates me. Love the "goon" videos.
I'm sure they sent me a couple of letters years ago by recorded delivery, as I was waiting for important mail i had to collect the damn things.If they ever send a postage paid envelope just stick it on an old phone book,box with a brick etc.😉
I don't think that they do that any more. It was just a underhand way of getting some information. I think it ceased when they moved from Bristol to Darlington
Aussies were smart enough to get rid of these bullies in the 70s. They'd drive a 'detector van' up & down your street, claiming they could locate illegal TVs. Then knock on your door & ask about your license.
We still had the convict spirit back then, hatred of authority. I remember seeing a government TV license lackey being hounded out of the take-away. I was about 10. Two blokes stood over his table, abusing him until he left. Everyone in that country town knew him & his job & he'd get harassed. Another time my dad saw a different license checker abused at his RSL (serviceman's club). Two blokes roughed him up & threw him out.
The government couldn't find takers for the job and eventually cancelled the license system.
It's a shame the Brits didn't do something about this fascism decades ago. You're pretty good at standing on your dig.
Never buy from door to door salesmen too risky!
I got one of these through my letterbox. Funny thing is, no one knocked. I saw the fella walk up to my door, didn't knock, just put it through my letterbox n walked away.
Are the people giving the thumbs down to this video working for the BBC and don’t want to miss the gravy train.
Threatening behaviour is illegal 🚫 😳 😤.
from them or us?
Good leaving notes so you know to ignore them next visit.
I use freeview. Im not registered with any catch up TV, Netflix or any other. Freeview only. No Licence required other wise it's not freeview is it if I need a licence to watch it. Should I sue the TV industry for mis-selling a product that is blatantly advertised as freeview?
You legally need a TV licence for Freeview.
