I am still angry with them. Why should I have to write to them to tell them I am not a thief? I ignored the letters because I really didn't like they way they were talking to me truth be told. You should see the harassing way they write the letters.
I have a feeling that even if I let them into my house they are going to try and charge me. I probably have an aerial but have no choice as it is rented. We have a blanking thinky-me-bob on out aerial box so there is no way of plugging a cable into it.
and no Mr.Everready I never watch tv as it is truely awful.

If they come around, open the door and ask for ID. Tell them that you’re just going to check it, shut the door and come back in 15 minutes informing them that you suspect that they are impostors and you will be sending their ‘fake’ id to the real tv licence people.

Never dealt with them , but they used to blitz the uni halls. That was a joke as they are not allowed to look in cupboards, so everyone put their tv’s in their cupboards.

Ignorance or arrogance (in your case) is not an excuse.

Got a TV?

Got a Video recorder ?

Got a Digibox ?

Got a SkyBox ?

Got a TV card on your PC ?

You pay for the TV licence. It's that simple.

There is no escape. They caught me 4 years ago and an inspector turned up on my doorstep. And, they're legally allowed to enter your premises

Just pay up.

If you can watch telly of ANY sort, you will NOT win.

I keep having letters off the TV licencing people saying that they think I have a TV therefore i need to get a licence. I do have a TV yeah but the annoying thing is that I HAVE a TV licence. I have told them this but they letters keep coming!
As some one once said to me... You don't get the police giving you final warnings because you might own a gun but you don't have a gun licence (they want some sort of evidence before they go searching), Whereas the TV people assume everyone must own a telly whether they have the licence or not. Providing you are certain you don't need one argue!

TV lisence is a form of tax now, it was in a newspaper, not sure wich one

Its a big rip off, at the end of the day, you should not be forced to pay for something that you do not wanty to watch, you are paying a lisence to view crap, even though you dont watch shityenders or crapynation street, or some dick head prancing around the jungle looking at ants and shit, and same goes for the reality tv shit

I cant not think of any other country that charges a one off lisence for watching TV, as far as I am aware they have PPV, are the BBC scared incase nobody pays to watch there shite, same goes for adverts, they scared incase no one advertises with them, I personally think the BBC is a load of bollicks, and the consumer should have the right to chosse what channels they want to watch, thats where PPV comes into its own, then I would just have to pay for shityenders for ower lass, coz the rest of it is absolute crap.

Problem is with the brits, we just sit back and moan about it, look how long it took for people to get off there arses about poll tax, and look at the council tax now, its higher fo christs sake

Its about time everyone on everyforum shuved an email to wherever it supposed to go, with there disconcerns, that would make news at ten

The only thing from bbc i watch is top gear.
I am not paying £120 a year just to watch top gear. Its good but not that good.

Only problem is my girlfriend insisted we get a license, now she is moving out, they will be onto me to get a license.

I knew I shdnt have let her get that license. As soon as you reply to them, they know the place is occupied. I think I'll just not answer the door and not reply to letters. I cant see them breaking the door down to search the house.

i've had several letters from them saying they are going to visit me and possilbly take me tv away......IF I HAD ONE!
im in a student house(locks on bedrooms) my housemate got license for his tv for his room-but then put it in the front room so we can all watch it
then the licensing punks say i watch tv illegally and now won't fail to come round my house until im there!
Idiots. let them come round. and they arent wasting public money by chasing up people with no tvs? pathetic if you ask me

This thread has made me realise I am not alone

I have had two bad experiences. But firstly I will say that I do get a licence and on balance don't mind too much...or I didn't until now. I pay for BBC digital channels I can't watch because in my area a free view box won't work without a new aerial.

First experience.
I was working abroad for nearly 5 months and my licence expired about a week after I left so as I wasn't going to be home to watch TV I didn't renew it. Obviously.
When I got home I renewed it like a good chap and on receipt of the licence I noticed it had been back dated to the original date. Sounds like they assumed I was guilty. I phoned up an had a HUGE rant....very unusual for me....and when I finally let the bloke get a word in, they immediately agreed to change it to the date of purchase. So therefore they were in my view acting outside the rules.

Second experience was this year. I was a few days late in renewing. It was over xmas and got overlooked. Anyway I used their crappy credit card renewal line and the next day they phoned me at work to tell me I hadn't paid. I said I had and told them to stop calling me at work. No idea when I gave my work number!!! Better than home though. Anyway they couldn't check my story so phoned me back a second time a few days later. This time when I said I had paid the reply was..."oh yes, so you have" EHHH!!!!!

Ones things is for sure I am going to resist going digital for as long as possible.

Blimey such a long post........ Gosh this is like counseling
