'You can be fined up to £1,000 for watching live TV without a licence!'... So what, you can also be fined up to £2,500 for fishing without a licence... but you don't get the Environment Agency sending letters or banging on people's doors to check for fishing rods do you?

A complete stranger at the door of a vulnerable person, could actually be a criminal intent on entering your house to steal & harm you. Do not under any circumstances open your door if you’re alone in the house.

People just remember, you do not have to hide from them. You are doing nothing wrong so when you ignore them or close the door in their face. They are the ones in the wrong, not you.

Bless this chap! Saved me money over the past couple of years by giving me the confidence to cancel the unneeded licence. Top man!

Keep banging away Jon - you're doing a grand job to help bring down the 'Evil Empire' and its protection racket!

If bbc wants my hard earned money, they can bloody well make something worth watching.

I had one of those letters last month. It gave me a laugh. Was a shame that I was out at the time. Missed shutting the door in their face.

Thank you Jon for your inspirational advice. Thanks to your Tuitional Videos, I got my £80.00 Refund. Together with the non-payments since I cancelled my Direct Debit: That leaves me with well over £120.00 extra in my Bank Account. And with Christmas around the corner... Fantastic! Keep up the Great Work Jon.

They call it a No Licence Needed Claim. It's not a claim, it's a *declaration* .

I told them that I didnt need a licence years ago, they still send letters. The idea that they can ignore your declaration after two years and start trying to bully you again just shows what a protection racket the whole thing really is. I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a fishing licence, I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a scrap metal licence, I dont need to tell anyone I dont need a skip licence, why the hell should I have to tell them I dont need a TV licence?

I cancelled My Milkman a couple of years ago because I no longer drink Milk, He doesn't keep leaving Bottles on My Doorstep and keep Hassling Me for Payment! That is what it is, Bullying and Harassment and how the Law allows this is staggering, I know it's easier to just shut the door, but I will give them something to think about if They have the nerve to try an Harass Me.

The SCAREMONGERING letters are just so full of BS just to get money.

Good to see you are well Jon.👍 Keep the facts about these 'people' coming.

The worst part of the scandal of how the BBC is funded is that people have to pay them if they wish to watch or record live anything from any other broadcaster. How this can possibly be justified and why hardly any politician comments upon it is beyond me. I'd write to my MP about this but he is useless and would probably ignore me anyway, probably thinking that the BBC may stop inviting him to spout his crap to the nation if he made any representations to them on my behalf.

I made a declaration that I do not need a TV licence to the goons and so far I have had 6 letters saying I need a licence. So, even if they are told they still send you crap.

My new notice on my property reads.. Cold callers, You are being recorded, you will be charged £50.00 to ring/knock on my door. Every minute you are on my property, illegally, you will be charged a subsequent £12.00 per minute. Worked so far. 👍

Send the letters to Nadine Dorries, and ask her what she will do about it.

I didn't tell them that I don't need a licence because their "Don't need a licence" questionnaire is obviously designed to catch people out with ambiguous and technical questions. I get numerous threatening letters, I ignore them and if they want to call I won't open the door. I actually get a kick out of wasting their time, petrol, postage and shoe leather.

well done john! i turned 30 the other day and ive never paid a tv licence and never intend to

TV licence goons have been to my home 4 times in the last 5 Years ... They ALL get the same reply 1) Goon knocks at the door 2) Brian looks through the spyhole in the door 3) Brian asks... Who is it 4) Goon says ... TV licencing 5) Silence ...

Just ignore it's that simple Only you can get yourself prosecuted by admitting to watching live TV It's impossible to prove in court so never speak to them , never sign anything Just ignore them and that way they'll have nothing to go on Remember they have to prove not you disprove.

keep putting these videos out jon lots of people i know do talk about a block on youtube called chillijoncarne when talking about the tv licence so i believe you do help a lot mate any tv licence goon comes to my door i send the misses out state of her with no makeup on scare the goon into not paying his licence tax all the best jon

I don't even open their stupid letters lol they don't scare me one bit

Your advice is the best on KZfaq and we can only thank you for all the work you do on this subject. I have been licence free for almost two years now and I have an no licence needed declaration that will expire in February next year. I don't intend to have any further contact with TV licencing as I feel there's really is no need. I am quite happy to close the door on any goon visit and be polite in doing so but on any subsequent visit I may not be as polite and just tell them to fcuk off as I am not a very tolerant person depending on how I'm feeling on the day due to my health.

I used to work for Equita, part of Crapita. They are the ones that come out to the door. I worked in IT there and can tell you that these guys will do whatever they can to get money out of you. They all have a laugh in the offices for upsetting people, I kid you not. I had to leave the job for the immoral way they treat people. The only time in my career I have left a job because I just couldn't work for them. Absolute goons!! I will say, out of all the channels on youtube, what this guy says is absolutely true. Don't answer any questions at all, confirm nothing at all. Just say no thank you and close the door.

Cold calling by any salesman is surely against the law.

they say they will visit after informing them you don't need a licence, to be sure your not watching tv that your not permitted to. If you play a straight game you have nothing to worry about

If you don't have a driving licence you don't get the DVLA knocking on your door asking why just in case you decide to drive a car. What makes the tv license so special?

Great work Jon 👍

The problem with your idea of putting the infermation in regards to iplayer in the red box is being nice dosnt sell tv livcence. i do agree they need to start with that. i think we should all start sending them threterning letters demanding money from them see how they like it.

Hey Jon, as a thought don't ignore the letters send them back unopened and write on them "RETURN TO SENDER, REFUSED." Any junk mail returned in this way, the sender has to pay the return cost.

Has anyone ever taken them to court for harrasssment?

Have cancelled my TV licence now I know the true facts about what you can and can't do, I never watch live TV or BBC Iplayer but kept the license to stop any hassle, now I'll be treating myself to a extra takeaway once a month and pretend it's a present from the BBC

I disagree with informing them that you don’t need a licence. They have no business knocking on doors in the first place. I’ve had loads of letters (addressed to the previous owner of the house) and they get ignored. At my last house I had the same, and I wrote back telling them they were not allowed on my property. I have yet to have a visit, but if I do they will get told in very rich colourful language to go away and not come back - there won’t be any politeness involved, and if they don’t like it they can get a worthwhile job instead of being a leaching scumbag.

Thanks mate,i have just had a visit from a all smiles goon,he gave my door a knock and i answered via a window at the side of my door,,he told me who he was and i said sorry you wasted your time i dont need a licence but thanks anyway and closed the window,,after which he put this letter in the box with his name in the officer box and number,,,,cheeky bastard

"lLive TV" how is it LIVE when they openly admit that "LIVE TV " has a SEVON SECOND delay.... hardly fuckin live is it

I reiterate : Bill of Rights 1689 “ Promises of fines and forfeitures before conviction are illegal and void “ The Bill of Rights are still in force today 2021.

TOP MAN.!!! If anybody deserves an OBE it’s you. Keep up the good fight.

I think i may do the same Jon when my NLN expires in feb i dont think ill bother renewing it

TOP TIP:- I think you'll like this Jon. Every time you receive a letter, write on the top 'RETURN TO SENDER'. TV licensing then have to pay the return postage! Imagine if we all did it!!!!😁👍

Hope your feeling better mate

A couple of/a few years ago at my old property someone visited while I was out but I didn't get a letter, I got a small red card I think it was square in size and not much bigger than credit card width. It wasn't clear who it was from by looking at the front but it was asking me to call a number, I studied it for a bit and then it dawned on me it was just another tactic of TV licensing to trick people. There are some of the cards on google images, I think mine was like those (google red tv license card, or something like that) and it goes to show what they will try to think up to try and make you think you've done something wrong when you haven't.

Just had a goon visit, watched him through the kitchen window. A teenager in an 08 Fiesta. He didn't even attempt to knock or ring, just posted the pamphlet above and scurried off again. I haven't had a TV for some 15 years and utterly detest the BBC (the exception is perhaps 6 Music and the World Service on occasion). I used to do the "licence not required" declaration but I refuse to participate in a system I hate so much now. I am one of those weirdos who never answers the door anyway, except when I am expecting parcels.

Why are some people still frightened of TV licence goons it beats me, I have NEVER had a licence and I am 77, also I don't have a fire arms licence,,a fishing license,,pilots licence,, Reason I don't have a gun,,A fishing rod,,or an aeroplane,,And no one bothers me on these But if they bring cat licences in I won't be happy I have six of them,,

File said letters in the bin 😁

If the property is currently unoccupied. Who are they expecting to call them the ghost of Christmas past perhaps .

Hmm .. Just post it back, without a stamp. It's their property. I routinely post back all unwanted unsolicited mail.

I put their letters in the bin ! They have no more power than the pizza delivery boy !

I like these letters... They are going straight to the blue bin! ;-)

considering all the repeats on their services, I would state them them it isn't a license when are selling a FTA tv service and the fact is the bbc makes more money off dvd/bd sales and international sales of their content...

Blank them, it's just a way better laugh than informing them. The only thing funnier than pulling the strings of TV Licencing is not paying for a licence for 20 years and telling everybody you know their legal rights.

In todays world, why would you be stupid enough to open the door when someone knocks on it, unless you have ordered pizza. Even if its the neighbours after a cup of sugar, they'll text you first. 9 times out of 10, answering the door or bell is just bad news.

Cancelled my licence 18 months ago, haven't had any communication yet! BTW they couldn't pay ME to watch their crap!

I tell them there welcome to check my property but there is a £150 charge payable in advance and one payment received they can check my tv

Can you imagine having to have a Panasonic license to own a microwave and keep paying Panasonic every time you cook things in other peoples microwaves !

I’m 39 and iv never had a tv license and iv never had no one knock at my door “had quite a few letters” but iv not had a letter for a few years lol if they did knock at my door they would only be told to jog on then shut the door,got no time for shit like that

Jon sounds like you are starting to rethink signing the 2 year waver. Good. As you indicate here they can potentially come round anyway regardless. Really it's just an underhand way of collecting data. Never surrender your data to any organisation voluntarily for simply convenience, it's more valuable to them than you think and more often than not a trick.

One in Eight Got a No Licence Needed Confirmation Letter today informing me that they have registered my address as No Licence Needed and that it was valid until November 2023 ( No Red Ink , Just Green). Went onto explain that they may still visit to confirm and won't be writing to me again before my declaration expires. However they did add the caveat " if circumstances changed, we may need to get back in touch earlier". A green highlighted section then explained that their enforcement teams found 1 in 8 people, they visited, who claim NLN are breaking the law. The letter was signed by Jackie Garswood, Customer Service Manager.

Remember collect ten letters from tvl and send to your MP with complaint of harassment and stress re the threats. Your MP will be the debater and part of the decision to end the license if you don't tell em how do they know?

I have a double garage at my house but I don't get threatening letters from the DVLA saying I should be taxing two cars, and they don't send goons around to search either.

"or is currently unoccupied." Why would you tell anyone the address is unoccupied? That's inviting burglary. I don't even tell my neighbours, when I go on holiday.

Top job, Jon, I wasn't gonna watch any more clips, because it makes my blood boil, but they're are so addictive, watching the BBC slowly go down the toilet

I practice my thousand year stare into the bathroom mirror every morning, so I am ready for the knock. "You looking at me ?"

Thank you KZfaq algorithm. I'll put this in the: "things I'll never need to know" file. Sincerely, A California resident.

I wish we could find a way of legally not paying council tax. That's a con just like the licence fee is.

Even the vans of old were not real scaring ppl who thought they could tell you were watching tv illegally 😍

I officially cancelled my licence some 4 months ago and had my first letter the other day. Addressed to the occupier haha. Suffice to say, it went in the bin. So even when you've not long told them you don't need one, they still write to you

Share and spread the word

Good leaving notes so you know to ignore them next visit.

They promise they'll visit imminently but so far, f all. Could someone from Romford branch pop in?

I wonder how effective a billboard campaign would be in educating people of their rights? I'd happily chip in!

I can imagine how intensive and in-depth the investigation will be.... "Our investigation has determined that you, Resident, do not currently have a TV license You, Resident, may be in violation of ... blah blah blah". If your name is not resident, you should have nothing to worry about.

In this climate emergency should they be driving to peoples homes to harass them? I think they should be made to use public transport.

You should replace "investigation" with "harassment"

I had a letter the other day saying I had a ten day window to get properly licensed 😂😂

Never gonna pay these guys. I never have and I never will. This is just a racket. No different to the mafia in Sicily. Only the mafia have a code of respect. Which puts them above the BBC and capita as far as I'm concerned.

I got one of these through my letterbox. Funny thing is, no one knocked. I saw the fella walk up to my door, didn't knock, just put it through my letterbox n walked away.

A couple of days ago I had one of these - my wife gets very panicky mentioning fines, prison etc she won't be calmed. However, and this might just be coincidence, a number of local residents have reported seeing a person wearing a balaclava skulking in their back gardens in the evenings - the police as usual say they might call round in a few days! - could this be one of these goons trying to get evidence of TV use by peering in through back windows although I'm sure that any "evidence" gained this way wouldn't be admissible.

When I SORN my car, I don't expect a visit from a DVLA inspector asking why I'm no longer driving my car, so why on earth should we have to endure visits from the TV Licensing goons? This needs to stop.

When does the amount of threatening mail you receive from them become harassment and intimidation? Surely that in its self would be a lawsuit?

The BBC could single-handedly stop global warming if they stopped sending us these ridiculous letters! lol

I think it's against the law to broadcast television shows from your house without a license.

I did this a few years back checked id it said crapita TV licensing I just closed the door never heard from since yes I've had there letters but it gets burnt

I had a Goon try barge his way past me at the door lol, what a mistake that was..

My mum has recieved 4 letters so far to renew her tv licence .am i under any obligation to inform them she passed away in march.(good look with any prosecution BBC)

I live in a shared house , I think my landlord pays for the TV license ! Which is a shame in many ways , because I don't even own a tv , and certainly don't stream any thing from the British propaganda tv show or anything else they show , so I kinda miss having the opportunity to tell these goons where to stick their aerial !

Has anyone thought about charging them with littering on private property if they're not using the post to deliver these letters?... Just a thought.

Who is actually paying for this 'enforcement' and these people's salaries? I sincerely hope this is a private venture and not a government funded scheme...

I always find that "I don't need a TV license but i have a shotgun license" works

Thanks mate .great advice . We appreciate your help.

Saw a horror video one time where they used the police and smashed their way into someones home. They walked into a room and took once glance at a pile of VHS tapes and were like "oh hell yea, clearly you have been recording the bbc" lol

I'm sure they sent me a couple of letters years ago by recorded delivery, as I was waiting for important mail i had to collect the damn things.If they ever send a postage paid envelope just stick it on an old phone book,box with a brick etc.😉

Aussies were smart enough to get rid of these bullies in the 70s. They'd drive a 'detector van' up & down your street, claiming they could locate illegal TVs. Then knock on your door & ask about your license. We still had the convict spirit back then, hatred of authority. I remember seeing a government TV license lackey being hounded out of the take-away. I was about 10. Two blokes stood over his table, abusing him until he left. Everyone in that country town knew him & his job & he'd get harassed. Another time my dad saw a different license checker abused at his RSL (serviceman's club). Two blokes roughed him up & threw him out. The government couldn't find takers for the job and eventually cancelled the license system. It's a shame the Brits didn't do something about this fascism decades ago. You're pretty good at standing on your dig.

Are the people giving the thumbs down to this video working for the BBC and don’t want to miss the gravy train.

Would like you to make a video on our many repeats the bbc show in one week. Why pay them when you seen the same program more then two or three times. Especially with Christmas coming up. They will dig out. Only fools/ Eric & Ernie etc..Same old

If someone knocks on my front door and they're not friends family or neighbour's or delivering something they'd better have a BLOODY GOOD reason as to why they're there.

Love your channel 👍😁

Just a footnote. No one has Authority over you.
