TV licence letter

(1/3) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Anyone else had one of these chaser letters? We don't have any need for a licence at work and the TV licencing department send the most aggresive letter you have ever seen assuming that you are a crook and should have a licence  :evil: Every sentence in the letter seems to assume you should have a licence and that you will be investigated if you say you don't need one!

What ever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'? I'm of a mind to complain, but not sure who I should approach. I don't think trading standards are the appropriate authority. Any ideas?

That disappeared under Phoney Bliar among the biased Media from all sides that act as the judge now.  :roll:

Just ring them up and tell them you don't have a TV.

When I moved house I got a letter from them saying that even although I hold a licence they were sending an inspector to visit, so I put the kettle on and got the chocolate biscuits out - only to find out, when I phoned them, that it was a mistake...  :roll:

Since responsibility for the licences moved to a private company, who I assume have some sort of detection target rate, they have got a lot more aggressive.

Just write back saying you have no intention of buying a licence - don't tell them you don't have a TV, and let them do a lot of running around - then take pics of them trying to find your TV and post them on here so we can have a laugh as well.

I got one saying that they will be keeping an eye on the place and watching to see if I have a tv. I thought fantastic, no worries about being broken into then!

I rang them up and said I have no tv and the letters stopped. I dont know if they did ever sit outside and watch the house for me. I would recomend they watch a tv instead of my house. Much more goes on, on tv!!! :lol:
