TVLA is a disgrace.
A private company would not be able to get away with the threats and harrassment this organisation carries out.
Its only a matter of time until someone takes them to court.
Oh! That reminds me, my TV licence is up soon! I'll have to remember to put in a nice big tip for the BBC and licence fee collectors as they've been superb this past year - it's a tough job and they should be rewarded for it.
Don't have any means to signal on the telly. Don't watch telly. Don't have a license. Filled in the little form online to say I won't be getting a license. Happy for someone to come round and check it out.
Receiving letters wouldn't really bother me. I used to get them all the time at my last place. My thoughts were that I would have loved to go to court about it, I had visions in my head of being asked why I did not have a license and coming up with a hilariously, sarcastic,devastatingly withering answer to the tune of 'I don't own a telly.'
They're a bit like baliffs - it's a nasty job, but when people refuse to pay for things they use it is understandable...
I never thought you'd be on the side of those workshy scroungers Baz? You sound like on of those soft pinko lefties which has entirely destroyed the fabric of society etc etc.
