Not had a licence for 13 years, why you may ask. 13 years ago I had a letter from them stating they are going to visit me, 8 months went by before they came, I was so annoyed, I had bought tea and cake. Appalling behaviour not turning up.
Had a visit the other day. Asked him who he was. He flashed a badge that I couldn't see. Just said bye and shut the door. He stuffed a sealed flyer through the door that said do not ignore. It has been filed like the others.
Only self admission will get you procecuted. Never sign anything ✍️ Ignore all letters. ✉️❌ Never engage with the goons on your doorstep just close the door. 😉
I no longer drive and my driving licence has expired and I don't get letters telling me me I need to renew my licence and someone might call to check I no longer drive.
BBC TV licence, it's easy to sum up why not to pay them in two words, Jimmy Savile, for years they turned a blind eye to him. If paying the TV licence you have to ask yourself one very deep question, What exactly is your money going on????????
My latest one is an IN038, They send you round in circles when you phone then, I phoned them once and was cut off when I told them I would be recording it.
Out of curiosity I Googled "Is TV Licensing part of the BBC? " It's a trademark used by companies contracted by the BBC. The majority of the administration is contracted to Capita Business Services Limited.
Yes, Capita are the company behind TVLicencing as well as many other Government organised bodies like the Disability Assessment Service. Capita are a subsidury of another company who are consistantly awarded government contracts despite repeated failures. That company is Group 4.
It will not happen, but these letters will stop if every letter was sent back to the sender. No stamp, just "Return to sender" written on the envelope. This will cost the sender but everyone has to do it. There is no point in keeping stacks of old threats just "Return to sender" - simple. Hurt them like they are trying to hurt you - retaliate!
I've not had a "licence" in 13 years. Only had one visit who dropped a letter through the door without knocking 🙄🤣 The guy came from Morrisons data .......🤔 Anyhow, not missed tv at all . I used to call them and wind them up but it was pointless. £1000 per letter? What a joke. Stop ringing the asshats. It achieves nothing.
Don’t know why you would take your frustration out on this call centre guy he wouldn’t have any control over those letters and there’s no need to make threats against him speak to the head boss not a guy just politely doing his job!!
Perhaps a class action against TV Licencing for harassment will stop all the stupid letters.

@trixiek942 of course not it’s British humour

Well said
A thousand lbs every time; just as enforceable as their licensing BS. Great show, mate. Give it to 'em!

When they send me a letter I wipe my arse with them and post them back to them with out preduice.

@ChilliJonCarne should watch this. 🤣
If any other company was to send those kind of threatening letters the law would be on them like a shot.
I have been consistently returning their letters unopened. I mark them "Return to sender unsolicited mail". They seem to have stopped sending them.
Geez, that's the same type of crap automated system my bank uses for phone calls ...

Who also are contracted to provide Council services etc, and are a private company with no authoritah (as Cartman would say).
They are so unreliable. I have waited in many times for their visit and they never turn up. what a bunch of ......
Capita, part of Serco also does the same for Council Tax.
Yes minister, all in the fullness of time.
Just prescribed. Thanks for your information
Brilliant, nicely done.
He works for Capita I expect. If someone does turn up, tell them they have the wrong address - I am not one of your customers - goodbye.

The company You spoke to is CAPITA
Yes, a collection agency.
Just post their junkmail back to them. Return to sender. Job done.
i get same letters all the time and no ones ever showed up i like the ones where they ask if you will be home on such and such a day lol
Intimidation
that is not a big pile of letters,you would not be able to lift mine using both hands, why contact them ??? let sleeping dogs lie.
I get them all the time.
Sweden did away with the licenses a while ago and instead created a dedicated tax for everyone to pay.

Sometimes I'd like to see someone with a really heavy accent and obnoxious wording making calls like this.
It is run by Capita.
Don’t know why you would take your frustration out on this call centre guy he wouldn’t have any control over those letters and there’s no need to make threats against him speak to the head boss not a guy just politely doing his job!!
I wasnt frustrated at all and was very polite. Made no threats at all. You need to chill, watch and listen better.
😂😂😂
not sure why you felt like harassing some call centre worker, just bin the letters and get on with your day.
it's called having a bit of fun
LMFAO that earned you a sub
Give up tv license, your over
