can you imagine how pissed off McDonalds would be, if everyone went inside to tell them "I dont require a BigMac today" or you rang the DVLA to tell them you dont require a driving license? How would anyone get anything done if we went round telling all companies we dont want anything from, that we dont want anything from them? Capita are clownshoes
Are you still accepting letters to send to you? As I have one what seems to be a new one, but it is 4 attachments, so you will have to email me so I can forward them on to you.
Or let me know that your contact form accepts 4 attachments.
Actually I tell you what I will do I will forward them to you like - 1 to 4 etc 👍
@@oddity4650 yeah send it over me@chillijoncarne.com
The BBC are little better than gangsters operating a protection racket.
A woke gang of multiculturalism!
My thoughts exactly. I don't understand why people have to pay the BBC for watching channels not associated with the BBC's budget.
Isn’t extortion against the law.
They get this from their beloved EU ? protectionism
I love TV licensing and their pantomime style of authority. They're like a bunch of children playing dress up, it's a genuine pleasure to watch them unlike the BBC.
No one called "Occupier" lives here
Or The Legal Owner.
🇮🇪👍👍👍💕
I filled in one of their threat-o-grams and put the name *Theo C Cupier* . lol
And there are no knights or madams in my humble abode 🤔
Just thought. Instead of binning them, why have I not been sending them back marked "Not known at this address. Return to sender"?
They should be paying part of my council tax as they are helping to fill my bin.
That's a good one 😂😂
@La Hire Probably not a good idea, and too much work. Ignoring them is best. Sending them back will push some buttons. Don’t draw attention to yourself.
@La Hire Yeah, I do wonder how much money they spend on the posting of the threatening letters?
@La Hire Another waste of our money. Only if they had never sent out threatening letters I might have got another TV license. Anyway its so much water under the bridge now. There are so many ways of entertaining yourself these days. BBC baiting is near the top of my list.
@La Hire Beer good.
I worked for the BBC for a few years, and not once did anyone say anything about how our jobs were paid for by the public. At no point did anyone say anything like 'we should create programmes for the people paying the license.'
Never thought about who was picking up the tab, while they travel round the world in business or first class or put it on the tab while wineing and dining stories out of people or hiding all the beasts either.
@@PastPresented I used to just have the tv on in the background, not actually watching it. Did it so that the house wasn't so quiet. I wonder how many people do that.
@@PastPresented 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@sallyk9 I did that but it just got irrating so now I have audio books and music on.
@@PastPresented That's great! Those people can pay for it with a subscription service. The people like me who don't want the BBC, or pay for it, can spend the money somewhere else. That's surely far more sensible than using Gestapo like tactics. I don't want or pay for Sky Sports, but they don't threaten me with letters and court.
A fun way I left one of them was when they said they were with TV licensing, I said give me a minute and closed the door. They just stood there waiting for 5 minutes before they left
I used to say ' I've a pan on the stove, bear with me and do the same.
Ditto with phone cold callers: same comment, ask them to hold, put the phone down, and go back to doing something else.
Any junk mail with pre pay envelopes: fill it up with other junk mail, and send back. ( soon get taken off their list)
@Nehemiah Scudder Im just having fun. You've obviously sat down and thought about it! :0)
@@steamboatwillie8517: For years I did exactly the same, it was great fun; all unsolicited post/junk mail was stuffed back in their own SAE (or someone else's) unstamped envelopes and bunged back in the postbox.
Nowadays bills still come with return envelopes but as most times these days I pay online, I've simply gotten out of the habit, all extraneous paperwork goes to fill up my recycling bin.
Imagine if there was a knock on the door and a bloke starts asking you who you are and whether you live there. It turns out that they are from Environment Agency stating that it is illegal to go fishing without a licence and there is no licence registered at the address. You reply that you don’t go fishing so you don’t need a licence. The uninvited caller then asks to come into your property to have a look around to see if there is any equipment capable of catching fish to “take you off the system.” This sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? So what the difference with the BBC?
Ten days passed, then another ten...
500 years later *we’re still gonna come, so you better pay for one*
They know people are having a hard time, so if you can’t afford it on the 7th, why would you be able to afford it on the 17th? Especially important if you get paid monthly...
Cause they live in a privileged bubble and look down on the working class while pretending to be nice to them. Oh and psychological tactics to make people panic. Outrageous.
They know people are having a difficult time paying their bills so lets put the license fee up, sorted!
So the TV licence Authorities seem to have assumed that you are guilty of committing an offense, without any evidence. That is not how things should work.
Yeah, they send them to people in society who are extremely sensitive and vulnerable, who then believe they are breaking the law. It's shameful and definitely not how it should be. The authorities don't give a damn and glad to see people take a stance on this tyranny. Personally, I'm bewildered by the threats to people.
If you're legally licence-free, nothing is easier than doing nothing!
@@Cornz38 Because that's what Capita does to try and earn their £££.
Even if people call the helpline to cancel their licence, or notify them that they don't need one via the website, the letters will still keep coming and visits may still happen.
Even the confirmation of cancellation letter states that 'You may still get a visit from an enforcement officer'!
You're not legally obliged to do anything about the TV Licence if you're legally licence-free, so just ignore/burn/shred the letters and don't even open your door to any unexpected visitors.
The only reason to contact them (and supply personal information to an awful company) is if you already have a licence and want to get some money back after cancelling it.
I've been doing nothing for years, got rid of my tv and told them so. The letters go into the bin unopened.
@@lorrainemarshall9476 So you're still getting the letters, and there was no point in you filling-out 'No Licence Needed' form.
I once got one of those and it had a date saying “February 31st” yet there isn’t 31 days in February lmao
Small claims court perhaps, for compensation, after waiting in all day on the 17th.
lol
Good idea. Loss of earnings, if you still have a job.
We all know they won't turn up on the date shown, so why specify one?
thank you so much for doing these videos I used to worry because I was watching youtube I had to have a licence,thanks to ou explaining it,I no longer worry
I got the impression call centre staff are happy the BBC are losing customers.
I'm a bit worried. Should i write to DVLC and tell them i can't drive?
better write to the CAA and tell them you don't have a plane as well.... just to be on the safe side.....
I think in that situation you're required to tell them since something such as sight loss would make you unfit to drive, although thankfully the act of not driving doesn't require their notification.
Yes you should. Also, I'm getting letters with threats to prosecute and fine me from Ford because I drive a Mazda and haven't paid my Ford license.
Yes, but they'll still have to check.
@@comradesvelte2672 lmao.
Awesome as ever. Can't wait to be investigated hope they are brave. Seriously I have made my declaration goodbye door shut
Class :)
10 days to live otherwise they will send in the heavies - slowly people are losing their fear of these bullies
I haven't had a licence for 3 years or had the need for one either. Surprisingly, I've never had a letter since I told them I don't use BBC.
i've not had a TV for well over 30 years and never feel the need of one.. but i still get harassed by the beeb cos i don't have a licence..
How do you get by without all that w0ke in your life, must be a challenge?
During the current lock down rules, I expect the "Enforcement Officers" aren't allowed work...
They state they are not conducting visits at this time.
“Will a visiting officer visit my home during the national lockdown?
In line with the latest government guidance on the pandemic, we have suspended all visiting activity. We will continue to review and adapt our approach according to updated government guidance. It remains a legal requirement to be covered by a TV Licence if you need one.”

Offer them the jab.

😂🤣😂🤣💯💯❤
I got one of those letters last September having went through a lengthy cancellation process the previous March (2020). I sent them an angry email copying all my correspondence from March 2020. I gave reference numbers the lot. I also said l didn't appreciate the tone of their letter, implying l was a criminal when l had already stated l no longer needed a licence. Of course this was before l started watching all your helpful videos and l used to take their threats seriously. So back then l wasn't taking any of their shit, lol. Especially all the bad things l started hearing about the BBC. My approach must have worked as l got a very apologetic email, which was fair enough. I enjoy watching your videos after l cancelled though because they put my mind at ease and give great insight into this deplorable corporation.
Correctly licenced now. I don't have one! Tick.
I told them online last year but started to get letters after the direct debit ran out.
"how many days shall we put on the letter?"
"uh, who gives a shit? 10?"
"Sure"
Basically how they made that letter
Twenty years would be better!
My TV works just fine without a licence 👍
I chose to tell them, via the online form, and within 6 months I started getting the "dear sir/madam" "no record of a license" letters. so if they don't want to listen to me I'm not listening to any letters they send
I've had loads of those! My filing cabinet is nearly full of them.
prepping for a harassment suit are we?
I just got an email reminder.
Store them for emergency bog roll
@@anthonywilliams379 that's a good idea 😊
@@Simon.0000 the BBC is getting no where near that area 😣
Everyone should get together who got one of those letters with 17th on and take class action against the BBC for attempted extortion and harassment.
I stood there in silence with a camera.
I've cancelled my tv licence yesterday. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your channel is very empowering.
It demonstrates that there is no level of dishonesty to which they will not sink.
Many thanks, good advice.
Saw a reply from Gary Lineker to someone on Twitter saying how good value it is, and the increase is 3p extra a week
To some they like the BBC. Which is there choice. I don't think its good value, so don't pay and don't watch live TV. My biggest issue is that I can't watch FREE channels (itv, 4 etc) because of them. Surely Freeview should be able to do something here as we should be able to watch those channels live because they are FREE.
@obi wan Yes I watch them on Catch-up (which I do), that is legal. But we should be able to watch them live. Its like Netlix asking for money if you watch NowTV.
@Stephen Joines
You can watch itv, c4, c5 on catch-up. Others too if they have a catch-up service available (Talking Pictures, which is one of the best free to air channels IMHO, doesn't sadly). Just avoid watching live.
@@ShanghaiRooster I do watch them on catch-up. But the point is we should be able to watch NON BBC stuff live. Why should a free service be penalised because of the BBC? its wrong. Like i said, its like Netflix charging you because you watch NowTV.
@@StephenJoines I'm with you 100%. The licence fee is completely unacceptable in the modern age, for that very reason alone.
When I phoned to cancel my license, the guy in the call centre sounded genuinely depressed. He'd probably cancelled so many he knew his job was on the line.
Might as well put Feb 30th for all that worries me.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As always, sound advice and articulate to boot
Thanks for letting people know their rights, there are so many people that are scared not to pay, keep up your good work.👍
Send a letter back in 11 days saying the cheque is in the post
I went licence free around 2 years ago, cancelled it online. I feel I must be one of the lucky ones as have never had a peep from them. After binge watching your video's I am flabbergasted at the stuff the BBC gets away with how do we allow them to get away with this stuff? Only ourselves to blame I guess.
Turns out I've had 40yrs NOT to buy mine. I appreciated the warning
How could they go around door to door during a lockdown? The goons aren't an essential service!!
Thats what I was thinking too? Traffic wardens and litter wardens too
TV Licencing was privatised years ago... So the detector vans vanished as did most of the door knockers... Sending threatening letters is a lot cheaper than actually paying somebody out to knock on your door...
@Bob Mule Detector vans did exist, and did work... but... They were based on the fact that cathode ray tube analog tv's of the 50's and 60's gife off RF ghosting, the maximum range you could really pick this up at was about 30 feet, so the vans worked, more or less in the "everyone lives on coronation street" days, 60';s and 70's towerblocks killed that idea, flats more than 30 feet from the road...
And the things dont work at all on digital flatscreens...
The main use for the tech was for industrial espionage against pc monitors, which is why if you open the plastic casing on an old analog monitor, you will find there is a "Faraday Cage" inside...
@Bob Mule Hahaha, you kind of missed the point... back when the damn things worked at all, they basically only worked on Coronation Street, early 1900's terraced working class hovels in narrow streets, using one needed great skill and luck, and you were using it on people who, if they had a tv at all, tended to auto-obey laws passed by their "betters", while the people most likely to avoid the law were smug middle class suburban types with front gardens large enough that their tv was over 30 ft from the road anyway...
And yes fear-mongering, just like the bs letters in too much red ink today, but expensive unreliable and temperamental fear-mongering.
Also, the convictions didnt arise from the use of the vans, the van just told you a tv was tuned tv type device was displaying a picture that seemed to be a broadcast channel, the actual conviction would have been from the "knock on the door" that followed, and the fact that the pre-privatisation inspectors had "a statutory right of entry" so you couldn't legaly slam the door in their face, they would come in, see the tv, ask to see your licence and... Then you got the conviction based on THAT, never on the van its self.
But tv tech improvmentsd and changing accomodation styles made the van obsolete and cost prohibitive so bye bye, and random inspections only.
That in turn was dropped for "send the plebs threatening letters from a private contractor with no legal powers, with lots of red ink to scare them into paying even if they don't need to.
I don't watch tv, and don't need a licence, and I've been ignoring their damn letters for more than 20 years with not one single visit, or any legal action. And no, I didnt tell them "dont need one" that just makes them arrange a visit to see if you are lying...
@@aestheticdemon3802 We notified them online over 3 years ago (so we weren't bothered by them) never had a visit although they did say that we had to 'renew' our claim of not needing one every 2 years bloody cheek. That bit did piss me off to be fair, I mean I don't have to notify the telegram that I no longer want their newspaper or British gas that I don't want their product.
Thanks for your videos, after watching them I cancelled mine today 😊 I'm free, wish I had done it sooner, netflix and TH-cam are better than the greedy BBC.
@Neil Foster thanks for the welcome, proud to be a new member 😁 👍
@Neil Foster yes 😊👍
Just got the official investigation letter haha
My family and I DO use BBC services, watch live TV, and support other BBC services such as Bitesize etc, so we do have a TV liscence, however i still support what you're doing, because, there is no reason you should be bullied and tricked into paying for something that you don't need. Plus you're videos are easy watching to be fair and it's interesting to see their tactics to get people to cough
Oh Jon, you're so wonderful, once again you're putting our minds at ease. Thank you so much and as usual, may god protects you.
Mine went straight in the bin.
Don't bin the letters, send them to your MP...
BBC seem to have changed the letters they send me after 3 years the latest one was oddly none threatening compared to the others.
If the UK is in lockdown at the moment, TV licensing goons shouldn’t be visiting anyone!
You will no who they are .if they come knocking .mask is a big give away .now part of there BBC cult uniform .
It’s about time these threats are challenged in court
Hey Jon, just wanted to drop you a comment to say thanks for all the content and help that you provide, for free, to people who are genuinely looking for info on this subject but maybe concerned by the threatening tone of these letters that the beeb throw around like confetti. Your channel gave me all the info I needed to know back when I was considering cancelling, and also helped me deal with their mafia style correspondence. They are toothless dogs, all bark and no bite, and nobody at all should feel threatened or intimidated by their actions. So thank you, and more power to you. Keep doing what you do, you are genuinely making a difference to people's lives in a positive way. 😃👍🏻
I have been getting the letters for 32 years.....feel quite left out that I have never had a visit !
Bin the letters.
A point worth noting is they almost always start with the phrase when you open the door "ARE YOU THE HOUSEHOLDER" when they say that you ask "WHO ARE YOU" .
Imagine having to tell every company every 2 years that you don't want their products..... the BBC are a joke 🤣🤣
Years ago when I moved into my house I had a letter within weeks threatening to take me to court, well I say me, because it was addressed to the occupier! I realised then that they were taking the piss however if I had had a letter asking nicely I may well have paid, to threaten someone with court in the first letter but not to name them is shameful behaviour and I’ll never buy another tv license.
Apparently I have been under "Special Investigation" for at least 30 years! When an "Enforcement Officer" eventually found me in and answering the door I told him to go away. End of.
I don’t know what to do! G4S have just visited my house and asked if I could let them in so they could check if I had a pilot’s licence! I didn’t know I had to write to the FAA every two years to tell them I wasn’t flying a fucking plane!
I'd encourage them to start an investigation on my lack of license because investigations by the BBC have a reputation for being thorough and accurate.
I have a list of priorities as long as my arm. On it,clearing the leaves from the kitchen drain is still higher than paying my tv licence! 🤦♀️
I am correctly licensed. I don't have one as I don't need one. I have a Roku which gives me all I need and none of it is live TV or the BBC i-player nonsense.
I don’t even pay the tv licensing for my house as i live with my parents, but your videos are so entertaining and not sure why but i watch every single one of them.
new fav channel. helped me loads mate
The last time I got a letter from them about 4 years ago now I invited them to my 'Address' giving a date and time I would be there to 'receive them'
I actually live on a boat and have a postal address at a yard I rent a few miles away.
They arrived, yes on time, two of them, took one look at the yard through the gates, turned to each other and said something.
Next thing I know they are walking away, I ask them if all is OK and the answer I got was, cheers for the trip out you won't see us again.
Not sure why, maybe a yard full of old trucks and buses, no mains electric but a Telephone poll and line was a bit too much for them, that or the many weird sculptures (made from old chainsaws and motorbikes and stuff) my son has made and are all around the place.
oh and the old hair styling heads for a hair cutting collage on the top of the gates may have been a warning sign.
Not had anything since.
License? Do they mean licence.
Not really a grammar police issue is it? They have it wrong... it’s that simple, and the thing is they are operating this agency in the UK, not the USA, if they can’t get the correct spelling, what else are they tripping up on.personally I would love to see the try this crap on in some parts of America, see how long their arrogance would last then.
Once youve given notice to terminate your licence, if you keep getting letters, do you know what the frequency of letters are for you to apply for some sort of restraining order on the bbc, i ask so that when the Wife retires, we will stop listening to the morning news, thats us done with tv then, cant remember last ive watched bbc, itv or ch4 for that matter.
How very kind of them to provide a little calendar. Just need to make sure you're out on the day stated. Convenient!
I wonder how many license holders got one. They've proven they don't know what they're doing.
Thank you once again for a great video and how to deal with these horrible
people. Had a letter this morning. Went straight in the bin😊
I just got one for today for the 28th of October. Otherwise, almost identical to the one in this video. But it's nice to know they're so willing to investigate me, given I've just moved into the address only a few weeks ago. I feel loved(!)
I am really grateful for their letters as it gives me scrap paper to doodle on !
Chilli, I am ready and waiting after to put a red letter through my door two weeks ago, but they are ALL TALE AND NO BLOODY TROUSERS. he sneakily walked up tp the side of the house and put his trash through letter box. same ten day crap, and we will try to film it , if we are home. we have rehearsed your procedure , and ready to go. Bastards, I agree with every pice of advice you have given the public it is spot on.
Laugh? You are a great man, and I thank you for getting me to take the step of cancelling my licence. As always, your advice is perfect. Do nothing. This letter is nauseating piffle. I used to be a journal and book editor and I will just point out one thing. TV licensing are being very subtle here, because the verb 'should' does not actually imply a legal or moral duty (it just sounds like it does). It simply records a guideline or recommendation (in this case from TV licensing) 'whenever noncompliance with the specification is permissible'. It has a similar sense to 'ought to' or 'we would like you to' - as in 'you should/ought to/we would like you to wash your hands before dinner' or 'there should be/ought to be/we would like less repeats on television'. So it is basically an opinion or request. It means in lay terms: 'we would like you to, but you don't have to' - so don't - unless you want to! Finally, the bit about difficulty paying bills is certainly condescending, but also a con designed to make one think they are being helpful, since BBC have the power to ease any difficulty paying bills once and for all (by ceasing to charge a licence fee), and since most people's financial circumstances are unlikely to change in 10 days (unless they cancel their licence and stop watching live TV and BBC iplayer). I note TV licensing do not suggest this as a tactic to ease financial difficulties. To be even-handed (as BBC are required to be) they should have TV licensing include: 'If you have difficulties paying bills you can stop watching live TV and BBC iplayer, cancel your licence NOW and we will refund the remainder of this year's licence fee. Hmm.
Your ongoing saga with the BBC is more addictive than Coronation Street.
Which I don't watch.
'Cos I don't have a licence... 🤭
Cancelled my direct debit in December. Second letter arrived today . Straight in the bin .
Wouldn’t mind a visit so I can tell the goon where to go .
Send the BBC a letter telling them time is running out you have only a few years left....
What a brilliant channel, thanks
Received one of these this week, threatening investigation after already saying 3 or 4 letters before they was investigating the property 😂
Thank you for this video, I just got my letter today, it was addressed to me.. your video put me right at ease, have now put it in the bin 👍👍👍
Last inspector I dealt with a few years ago tried stopping me from closing the door as he stuck his foot in doorway , biggest mistake he made that day as he limped off with probably a broken ankle with force I slammed on it . Does make me wonder how many bully boys are intimidating vulnerable people or anyone that just doesn’t like confrontation , great advise given as to just close door . if you do happen to have tv on they can’t prove anything without entering your property so don’t panic
I bet the over 75s on minimal pensions are thrilled to bits by this!
My father passed away on 3rd July 2020 and I notified TV licensing that his property was now empty and therefore I cancelled the licence. However, the property continued to receive letters warning that an investigation was underway. Absolutely disgusting.
They will never get a penny of me, i stopped paying it around 10 years ago
My argument
A) if I lived in the UK, and
B) if I received one of these letters
would be:
"You have said I have until the 17 February to pay my licence, but since you haven't stipulated a year then I have not breached this letter", and if they should knock on my door, or start an investigation then I would make them aware that they have breeched thier own letter as there isn't a year specified, and that they should cease and desist immediately or I would begin legal action against them
Yet another cracking video mate. For us sending letters over can also help others that are slightly more fearful of the bbc and their “ clever language “.
Also I’m pretty sure in thinking that if for some reason they manage to get a warrant and turn up with the police that the police are only there to make sure there is no breach of the peace and NOT to enforce the warrant. I know it’s slightly outside of what you do but if my facts are correct that could be a useful video for some people that possibly get stitched up by them.
I'm playing devil's advocate here, but surely, if they do happen to have a legally signed warrant, wouldn't an accompanying police officer be there to ensure the warrant is executed, as TVL inspectors have no authority to execute a warrant?
you deserve a medal mate
Surely this must break some harassment or intimidation standards. Absolutely disgusting and should be illegal for them to act this way.
An old couple we know have never had a tv and have no intention of having one. They got so many visits from the stazi until eventually they got one just to get them off their backs - which was a free one anyway and even suggested by the 'inspector' to prevent further hassle!! Thing was, they are into their 80's and hence didn't need one anyway. I'm not sure what they're doing now.
When you bother to inform them you don't have a TV, the literature states that this is only valid for up to 2 years, then they will again send out threatening letters .
ive got a "URGENT YOU COULD BE BREAKING THE LAW! AMOUNT DUE £1.10!" yes one pound 10 pence you read correctly! we must pay the balence before 31 of october otherwise licence will be cancelled
I've got a fishing rod gathering dust and haven't been fishing in years. I dont have a rod licence but don't get letters from my local authority accusing me of breaking the law. I hate how the BBC sends these letters assuming guilt before anything else.
They remind me of my Dr Surgery, I keep getting letter telling me despite previous reminders I still haven’t had a smear test and need to make an appointment ASAP, I used to call and remind them I had a total hysterectomy 30+ years ago now I just put the letters in the REALLY???? bin along with the TV licence ‘reminder’. My sympathies are with the poor postman who, atm, is braving awful weather to bring me post that goes straight in the bin.
Thanks for the advise. After watching your videos today I've just done the deed and given TV Licensing the "declaration I don't need on" and cancelled my existing license. I look forward to receiving some environmentally unfriendly paper warnings about my misdeeds from "the goons".
I got door stepped by one of them. I told him I had no need for whatever he was selling and not to return. I will never give the BBC a penny of my money knowingly. Give them nothing, tell them nothing, keep your curtains closed.
I like to close my eyes and shake my head as I say "no thank you" with a smug grin on my face lol
Since I wrote to them cancelling my licence I haven't had any threatening letters from them. I did get one saying they were giving me a refund I hadn't asked for. I'd nearly put it in the bin thinking it was a threat.
Thank you very much Joe!! You are a great help!!! I actually received this "full investigation" letter today lolzz. I guess I should dump em to the trash instead openin of them hahaha. Once again, thank you very much and have a nice day Joe!!
