Is TV Licensing Harassing you? How to STOP TV Licence Officers visiting your address.

Bullying people to pay for state sponsored media is disgusting.

I don't understand why as I don't have a fishing license, I don't get harassed by the Environment Agency for not having one. You shouldn't have to keep telling them that you don't want or need a license! So if you tell them and they keep writing, threatening and visiting surely this is harassment!

The BBC TV Licence is the most unfair and unjust Tax there is and must be ABOLISHED.

Tesco is getting a warrant for the cops to kick my door In because I shop at Aldi 😂 No difference from what the BBC are doing.

It is harassment, pure and simple. Bullying, scaring people into buying a license. Why should you tell them you don't need a license? End these scandalous tactics now!!!

My local chip shop knocked on my door and said I owed them money for chips. I never ordered any chips but they said they are following the BBC business plan, they assume if you don't tell them you don't want chips you must want chips.

I wrote them a letter saying words to the effect of "I revoke the right for you to cross my property and approach my door. If you feel the need to visit and conduct a search, I expect you will have a warrant. Without such an item, I expect you will never darken my presence again. I also revoke permission for any further communications, and any such unsolicited mail shall be enforced with a £25 Administration fee, payable within 30 days - cheques made payable to "CASH" at this address. Further communications from you are acceptance of these terms" They did write back, but it was not a aggressive template - instead it just said "We can't accept your admin fee terms, however we will note you on the system as you no longer need a licence and stop any further communications" I consider that a win.

Im a retired police officer and cancelled my tv licence 5 years ago. For 2 years i got a threatening and disgusting letter every month. The wording was qlarming. On 2 occassions i had these crooks at my door. I had made it quite clear several times to cease this harassment. The ignored my demand. As a police officer i have had to prosecute public for such behaviour. Why do bbc tv licence get immunity from criminal law?

Imagine if a salesman from Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon Prime was on your doorstep demanding money out of you for simply having their apps installed on your devices. They'd be up in court on extortion charges. Why should the BBC be allowed to get away with it?

The whole TV Licensing thingy sounds like an abuse of power.

Never pay the tv licence. It’s your moral obligation

I am amazed that the UK still has TV licencing! Here in Australia, TV licences were abolished over fifty years ago.

Wow, I never realised that harassment is okay as long as you give your victim a way to "opt out".

I removed my implied right of access 13 years ago, never had a problem and been licensed free for that time. On a professional basis as an expert witness for the courts, I categorically believe that NO detection equipment exists and it is being used as a ploy to increase pressure upon the household.

I'm 64, never had a tv license, never had an inspector at the door. Yes, I receive the letters, addressed to legal occupier. I bin them. TV license is optional. If you pay it, it's your choice. They need your help to obtain a warrant, don't give it. Never engage with them, do not communicate, not a word, ever.

Jimmy Savile did well from the TV licence fee !

Somebody needs to gather tv licencing victims and sue tv licencing in a massive lawsuit, the way they do in the usa

My late uncle (94 years of age) was resident in a care home and the home had a TV licence and each room where a TV was installed paid the required fee, however he still received letters from these disgraceful people demanding he pay a full TV licence. I had POE and was dealing with this on his behalf and getting nowhere with them. It only stopped when he sadly passed away and they were informed. The BBC and their enforcement outfit must spend millions on their actions and the sooner the TV licence is abolished the better. I won't hold my breath waiting for our MPs voting to abolish it though.

TV licensing tactics make me wish we'd have a class action against them in the UK. It seems bound to happen one day surely.

For vulnerable people this is a nightmare.
