The goon fills in the TVL178 Record of Interview form. The top copy is left (or should be) with the occupier who was interviewed; the carbon counterfoil is retained by the goon. Completed 178 forms are the basis of EVERY TV Licensing prosecution. The date the set was installed IS relevant. Legally a set can only be installed if covered by a valid TV licence. The definition of installed is given in the legislation - the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004 if memory serves.

[@ChilliJonCarne]

Pinned. Thank you

[@668725]

What if your using your tv as a monitor like i do,it can't receive a signal its connected to my main frame computer no aerial but if i took it down stairs im sure the free view aerial still works but nothing is connected, so your saying i can't owen that tv/ monitor without a licence I'm not sure that's Wright, the act comes into force if you watch live tv not owning a tv.

[@Euphoftoday]

@@668725course it's not right. The regulation referred to is just an act. I'm afraid that this is not comprehended here.

[@668725]

@@Euphoftoday Andy we concur, a bad act should be ignored, lord i think sumption is right.

[@gsum1000]

Hi TVlicencing blog - I've checked the regulations. The definition of the words “television receiver” imply that the set is only installed if it has been tuned in to channels received via satellite or aerial, or to access iplayer. This would not cover usage of the TV as a monitor or for internet use excluding iplayer. See part 3 section 9. If you're using the set legally, the answer to the question on the form is n/a - set not installed.

[@nockianlifter661]

Proud of my wife. Today we had our first goon visit. Dressed in a stab vest and posing as some kind of official. Asked for me. Wife asked him who he was. Asked if she was my wife. Asked him again what his name was. Eventually he admitted he was a goon. Wife “no thank you” and shuts the door. Your lesson well taken, thank you.

Any person or company can read you your rights and give you a caution...You can do it....I can do it (though why we would is questionable) In the case of Capita they do it and operate under the rules of PACE to give them credibility......as I said...read up on it and start doing it to your friends if you are crazy enough......have a PACE party where you all caution each other.

I have mentioned before about a partially sighted neighbour being visited by an "inspector" from Capita. The conversation was short he said who he was asked to come in. She told him no he'd have to come back when her daughter was there. He said "No problem call the number on this form to arrange that. Could you please give me a signature so my boss will know I have visited you" She took the door chain off he has to put the pen in her hand into the signature box before she signed. He gave her a carbon copy where he had circled YES to the question "Do you watch live TV" She did not have a TV. Back then it was a smaller form. This tells you the type of person you are dealing with AND the lengths some of them will go to in order to get you to pay for a licence! They are paid a basic salary and get a % of the fee for each licence they "sell" as a bonus so they are incentivised to sell more licences! The form and questions are there to intimidate and trick you into answering questions. They are not police, emergency services, HM Customs and.... They have no right to enter your home unless you give them permission. OR If they have a warrant! Do not give them permission. Do not answer any questions they ask. Do not sign anything. Ask them politely to leave and not come back. You can do this through a closed front door or with the door on a security chain!

[@Pinzpilot101]

They do not have the right to enter even if they have a warrant...this particular Capita warrant only gives them the right to ASK you to allow them to enter.

[@stevew3196]

@@Pinzpilot101 The warrants come on application from the Magistrates Court they don't issue Capita Warrants. Capita have a policy NOT to force entry but they usually turn up with a warrant and police. If you don't answer the door they won't force entry. If you do they will show you the warrant and explain they have the right to enter. I recently watched a You Tube video where they turned up at a house with a warrant and police. Police explained "allow them in or be arrested for obstruction and the house would be searched anyway" They asked him to turn on the TV he refused. The goons got the remote turned on the set tried to get a signal. Tried to fire up a streaming stick and couldn't. Started asking the householder questions from the interview form. He didn't answer. They threatend him with arrest for "obstruction". They read him the PACE caution. He said "You are not police. You have no powers of arrest. If these officers want to arrest me I'll go with them be interviewed under caution with my Solicitor present. He asked the officers who were observing everything "Are you going to arrest me?" One replied "No" the other tried hard not to piss himself laughing at the two "plastic policemen" from Capita. Search over they left telling him "we will report you for obstruction. He refused to sign their form! I think there's more than one video of visits with a warrant. Check them out.

[@Pinzpilot101]

@@stevew3196 We have all seen this video....He knew what he was doing...he was not 'done' for obstruction because he did not obstruct, he just gave them rope to hang themselves with. The reason I call them Crapita Warrants is that they are ONLY used by Crapita...they are never ever used by any other organisation...They are Proformas, signed maybe months in advance by a JP and photocopied off with details written in. A REAL warrant will be newly typed and signed by a judge the ink will literally still be wet....these are distinctly different and used by the Police. ANYONE even you can read the PACE caution to anyone TESCO could do it if they so wished......Crapita only do it to give their salesmen some credibility, which being mere salesmen, they do not have in any measure.

The guy stood their and asked if he could come in and I said no, it isn't my property and told him she was not in. He then started asking me questions, to which I said either no or don't know to, he then handed me this document, and asked me to sign it, but I saw he had ticked yes to a bunch of the questions, so I said no, I ain't signing that and he went off. A month later I had a court sommuns for TV licensing, and I had to go there, and I was drilled by some prosicuter for 10 minutes, when I showed them evidence that I do not live there, she asked, 'But Martyn, why did you sighn the paper?' I asked to see the signature, and when they tried to show me, they found It was not signed after all, and that was the end of that. Admittedly, I should have just shut the door on him, but I was younger then, and I thought it would be better to get rid of him by telling him she didn't have a TV. Didn't know he would ever try to trick me, or that I would end up in court.

Can you please warn us if your going to fucking sweer My kid's occasional watch you ( they thing you're a funny man )

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

I have had no television for 9 years but was told they might still check to see whether I need a licence. Haven't had a visit yet but I can't wait to get one so that I can tell them where to go!

[@malc2121]

Why is this allowed, it is shocking the questions on the form, its geared to stitch you up.

[@MrFuzzwuzzle]

ah I see how they get you "when did you first use the set at this address without an appropriate licence" obviously you'll just answer the day you moved in or the day you bought it when you should say "well I haven't, I have only used it within the perimeters of not having a licence so not watching anything live" Very cheeky

[@pammiedoyle30]

You should never answer anything!

[@themole1944]

Thanks Chilli great and interesting video as per normal

[@4clive]

Do you remember when plasma TVs were new and you needed a second mortgage to buy one? I was purchasing one in Currys, and right when I had paid my near three grand the pimple-faced lad said he needed my details for TV licencing purposes, I told him to fuck right off and carry my TV to the car, he just said 'yes sir' and that was that. I don't think he wanted to lose his commission on that one.

[@richarddiddler3380]

Camera doorbells are amazing👍😁

[@matthewtalbot-paine7977]

Never tell people details they claim to be able to get. This applies to tvl with their detector vans and people who phone you to tell you about an accident you've had. Ask them when you had the accident and ask them what channels you've been watching.

[@politirel2]

'I don't have a television set', that's all you have to say, oh and 'goodbye,' say nothing else.

[@colinp2238]

I have cancelled my DD payments for a licence and they sent me a letter to tell me I had that ny DD has been cancelled, I'm thinking, yes I know I cancelled it. Sit back and wait for the circus to begin.

[@THE-END-OF-TIMES]

It amazes me in today's big brother world we live in... how TV Licensing aka the "BBC" cannot tell if you watch TV or not. Where's this detector van they always spoke of in yester-year? I have never seen one. And I have not owned a TV since 2013. Yet they still write to me wanting to enter my home to "SEE" if I have a TV or not. So I ask them - "Send one of your detector vans down my road" - lonnnnngggggg silence.

[@handyandy6050]

I suggest, having the powers of just about any person, these goons have no appropriate authority to properly issue this legal caution. So many jumped up people seem to be doing this nowadays, I suggest that only if it is used by an appropriate person, eg Proper Police Officer, Customs Officer etc, it actually legally means anything. Also, I suggest, regardless of the person, appropriate authority or not, NEVER EVER say that you "understand". People think this is a comprehension issue, but I suggest in legal matters, saying that you "understand" means that you accept authority from the other person and agree to abide by it. I suggest to this day, this is why police will always say "Do You understand" ie "Submit to my authority". As many people have suggested, the BBC seem to be using "jumped up" companies with "jumped up" people using "jumped up" tactics that would probably put most other companies in jail.

[@Euphoftoday]

Indeed, they switch to a language called legalese.

[@colinp2238]

Jon are you considering doing something similar for the "court officers/ warrant officers*/bailiffs"? *When I was in the army warrant officer was a rank so I would ask about their service to baffle them. They are not court officials nor bailiffs but a private debt collection firm. They have the same MO as these goons.

I believe they are breaching G.D.P.R. guidelines too. They should only request information they need for the task at hand and, then, remove it thereafter

[@paulosullivan3472]

That is actually a very good point, since GDPR came in they may well be in violation with these forms! Underrated comment right here!

This form may well pre date the introduction of gdpr to be fair. I haven’t managed to date it yet

Trying to cancel our TV licence, but my wife is terrified. I'll direct her to your channel, hopefully that'll set her mind at rest, but they are incredibly intimidating.

[@davidlacey-goodman4711]

Do what I did. Had enough of these bastards. Told my wife (politely ) that if she wanted to watch the bbc, then she could pay for it - I wasn't going to. Within 6 months she cancelled it!

[@freetobeme6013]

This guy had the form on his little machine.

[@bongsound]

I did the online form 10 years ago to tell them I don't need a TV licence. When I've moved house, or every 2 years, I do the form again. Never once had a visit or a threatening letter.

[@Drew-Dastardly]

Yes, me too. Though I take the precaution of filling out the name as 'A N OCCUPIER' as the website forces a single character firstname, middle, and only the surname text box allows multiple characters. I have to say I do not watch broadcast TV in my home at all and haven't in a decade, but I have no reason to give any personal information to these parasites. Their demand letter is addressed to "The Occupier" and my response is from "An Occupier" to the best of my ability on their webform.

[@andrewwhite986]

One of your best videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@volt8684]

My 94 yr old mother who is blind incidentally. Sent a letter saying she had to apply not to have a licence as an exemption. I am surprised these goons don’t get injured

[@icdgyixify]

If they offer you a document to sign, just rip it up and throw it back in their face.

[@maxp6066]

GDPR.. comes to mind since when are we required to give NI number to some goon off the street. That level of personal information they want to gather is a direct misconduct and total disregard of GDPR.

[@wesleypresley1000]

Cancelled through the correct channel via phone call 2 months ago. Today I've had a letter saying I've got ten days to relicence or they are a comin. Come then and have the door slammed in your face. I laughed me bollocks off.

[@sheep83]

Beginning a sentence with 'but', a conjunction, as they do in their laughable caution, makes me feel all icky.

[@robertsmith9967]

Lol. It is perfectly acceptable. The word “but” at the start of a sentence immediately grabs attention, alerts, creates unease. That is what is is all about. So, I’m sorry (see what I did there, short sharp sentence starting with a conjunctions grab attention and get a quick apology across). Starting a sentence with a conjunction has its uses.🤣 Doesn’t escape the fact that I totally disagree with the license fee.

[@sheep83]

@@robertsmith9967 Thanks for that, it was a cool story. I'm aware it's acceptable usage, it just doesn't look right to me and I was taught to avoid doing it.

[@__eganista6372]

Isn't it only the police that can caution you? Plus......no warrant, no entry!

[@ollieb9875]

To "understand", is legalise for meaning stand under or in other words uphold and support what is going on. Never understand anything. 👍🍺

[@antigaslighting7798]

Totally correct and never answer no, which creates controversy which courts can adjudicate on. Asking a question avoids controversy (therefore nothing for a court to adjudicate on) and asking them: "Am I obliged to understand?" throws them and the police BTW, for a complete loop.

If these people are classed as salespeople, how can they keep getting away with the way they approach households? You wouldn't expect it from someone selling dishcloths so why are these people getting away with trying to intimate folks on their doorsteps.

I wouldn't talk to them but if I did, the moment they got to the caution I'd just laugh in their face and shut the door.

[@dannyboymac1553]

Chillijoncarne, I am 83yr and have just received a letter from TV licensing with the headline ..... ; Please Act Now, Before Your Licence is cancelled. It goes on about covering my licence till August 31, at no time does this letter threatened me with any enforcement Goons visits, fines or prosecutions etc. The only threat is them to cancel my licence, well not having a contract with them I have nothing to cancel. My licence was FREE and I have no intention of entering into another contract with them so they can go whistle. I neither want or need a TV licence therefore I don't require a contract with BBC.

[@johnanthony6092]

In my drawer I have a tv licence which is dated 2001. I will hand that to the goon when he turns up, and when he says to me, "This is twenty years out of date", I will reply, "So are the damned programmes!" It's true, I really do have my old licence from 2001. 😂

[@Galerak1]
