I read and re-read the questions several times before answering yes. On the next screen it confirmed I did not need a TV licence. The wording of the last couple of questions was clever, as was the 'trick' of switching the 'licence avoiding answers' from no to yes. I suspect this is all quite deliberate. My question is, how many people just rattle off no a couple more times, then get a shock when the next page says they need to buy a TV licence? I expect many will go back to the previous screen and suss out the correct answers. But I also suspect many will be tricked into paying for a new licence they simply don't need.

Cancelled mine , said I am no longer funding pdf files and scandals and misinformation . I haven’t watched MSM since 2014 . I don’t watch TV at all . I read , garden , walk my lovely dogs and talk to people , help my neighbours and friends . My life is full I do not need Tell a Lie Vision .

[@sdavis6991]

Good for you! x

I've not had one of those things for over 40 years. I don't have the time to waste to sit in front of a box for hours every day, not with all the constructive and productive things I fill my days with!

It’s funny when they don’t ask them to wait. Get your shoes and coat on. Shut the door and say ‘right, let’s go to your house..I’ll show you mine if you show me yours’.

[@rickystephenson518]

The enforcement officer came to my door on the 27th last month. I opened the bedroom window and simply said “ no thanks mate”

[@chrisbuxton1958]

Never disclose your name, absolutely do not let them in, and close the door.

[@englishciderlover7347]

I don't even answer the door if I'm not expecting visitors.

Cancelled mine 10 year ago. I still get the letters they go in the shredder unopened. Can't onagibe hiw much of their money has gone in the shredder over those years. But once they're are shredded the make excellent bedding for guinea pigs😊

[@swagmanandy]

I readdress their letters to the director general and repost them , I received a letter asking me not to send him unsolicited mail and I replied "I will if you do!" . I'm STILL sending them to him.

[@painfulltruth5551]

I have a friend who took a job with TV licence a while back. She's in trouble with the company because she has the lowest licence sales. She told me she checks and if they dont need a licence, she marks them down as licence not needed. What's she supposed to do, lie? How can she possibly be expected to sell licences if people don't require one. She also told me the people she visits tell her they have been visited 4/5 times, but previous licence goons dont take them off the list in the hopes of catching them out, so people are constantly harrassed. BTW, they dont get commission, but the job does have KPIs they have to meet. How can this job have KPIs? People either do or dont need them, you cant sell something if they dont use it.

Iv revived a TV Licence Today I’m 62 & I’ve had a Stoke about 4 months ago. I’ve never had a TV Licence. I do not need a TV Licence. I watch your Show & please must wake up that you do not need a TV Licence. Keep up the Great Work that you are doing to help everybody across the Country..

Return to sender. Pop it into postbox. Royal Mail will recover their costs.

[@marcothorsen950]

I thought they had a deal with Royal Mail. Not to send them back.. ? 👍

[@golden1789]

That is a splendid idea.

[@spiritusinfinitus]

@@marcothorsen950 Well, let Royal Mail deal with them then rather than fill up everyone's recycling bins! Imagine in thousands started doing this. It will have a financial impact on Royal Mail. I believe that the letters do have a return address on the.envelopes. Can anyone check?

[@robtheplod]

​@@marcothorsen950they do... waste of time... i scan mine and email my mp each month asking why they permit this....

These guys knock my door so hard I’m surprised the glass hasn’t broken. Also the authorities have been called to my address but have not yet turned up .

[@spellbinder101]

Just wondering how much it costs for them to send out a whole bunch of letters.

[@lorraineb52]

I've not paid for years now and they've never followed through with their threats. Still get a letter every month.

[@PhatSimey]

One year on since I cancelled mine, had about 7 of those stupid letters in various guises. Up yours, BBC, keep on cutting down trees to send out your pathetic threats, still don't want or need one.

[@carllockpick6179]

Thanks John.

[@ianleitch9960]

As I am not a TV Licensing customer, I feel no need to advise them that I don't watch TV, so don't require their product. If they are daft enough to keep sending letters each month, that is their affair; but at what point does their patent harassment become recognised as a crime? It is patently a form of cold calling, with threats and menaces.

[@tonybrett5209]

In the past I've agreed to set up DD or a payment card. Then cancel them! Got fined £100 over 25 years ago, never paid.

[@johnworkman2743]

She should have said she wasn't from here. She would have been excused.

[@Colin-ro6lh]

[@Kenfrommumbai73]

It amazes me that the letters are so aggressive…. I don’t tell the corner shop that I’m not going to buy anything from him that week… so why do they always assume you’re doing something wrong… as you say… if you don’t record or watch live tv or access the iPlayer… then nothing is wrong.!!

[@gordonlawrence1448]

I would be far too tempted to tell them to "go away in short jerky movements" and laugh if they came to my door. There was one who came onto my mini-estate that had the intention of intimidating me. It was hilarious. I was 4 inches taller than him and the same again width across the shoulders. I then followed him around the estate and he called the police. I explained that as my neighbors were highly vulnerable and they find my presence reassuring. After talking to a few people the police told him to leave as he was causing "unneccesary distress" The police officer asked me to contact them if he came back.

Only self admission will get you procecuted. Say nothing 🤫 Sign nothing ✍️ ❌ Job done 👍

[@kevinthurlow8055]

I got an email saying I needed to confirm that I didn't need a licence, so rather than tick the box, I replied, "It (i.e. the situation) has not changed - and I will tell you if anything does." Now I have a threatening letter saying I haven't answered the question! (The above looks like an answer). So it is my intention to register a complaint and demand compensation as I really hate it when people tell lies about me. Yes - I realise I'm engaging with them, but it will annoy them more than me.

[@martyndawson7484]

Use the opportunity to waste as much of their time as possible.

[@robtheplod]

You have just authorised them to keep your details.... just cancel your direct debit.. simple

[@Sine-gl9ly]

​@@robtheplodThe OP clearly doesn't have a current DD with them, so there is none to cancel. As they have sent the OP an email, they already have at least some part of their details; given that facg, s/he may as well annoy them as long as they stay asare that they are dealing with devious twisted minds here. I suspect the office-based goons at TVL will simply not understand a great deal of what the OP writes to them if it's i words of more than one syllable!

To be fair,I’ve been licence free for 6 yrs now,when I get a letter I open it and write on the letter that I don’t need one,I then reseal the letter and write return to sender no stamp,I have then got a letter back saying I’ve got another year

[@shanehumberstone5262]

I once was given a verbal warning by a license goon,he left with a broken nose

[@pjcnet]

I cancelled my TV licence 2 years ago, to get my credit for back I had to do a no licence needed declaration, but I wasn't happy because the questions were ambiguous and wrong, I sent them an email on my terms and still got a refund, I also cancelled my DD just in case. I've recently started receiving the BS letters which I'm going to ignore, I'm legally unlicenced, but will still say no thanks and shut the door if a goon visits because it's not unknown for them to stitch people up anyway, I've advised my friends who are unlicenced to do the same.

Thanks to your channel I’ve stopped paying the TV licence. I genuinely don’t need it I don’t watch BBC or record live. I did get a letter trying to scare me I just threw it away. God bless you keep sharing.

I've been licence free for a while now all I get is an e mail once a year asking me if I still need to be licence free , no letters, no goons 😊

[@KemPeck1701]

you are on the system.. that guarrentee's you'll get a visit at some point.. altho.. if you are out in the sticks.. makes it more unlikely.. phone them and demand (under GDPR law) that they remove your details from their system.. and become an information black hole.. if they visit and you say "no thx" and close the door.. the only thing you'll get is the threat-o-grams.. they wont knock again..

[@robtheplod]

Yes but you are authorising them to keep your details... at the next renew dont respond, you'll get the letters but these are just comical reading, but the main thing is you'll notice on the letters they wont know your name....
