We regularly hear stories of how reluctant TV Licensing are to believe no-TV declarations and how little compassion they show when they have been notified of the death of a licence holder.<br /><br />As your story once again illustrates, it is pointless trying to help TV Licensing by explaining your circumstances to them. You are not legally obliged to tell them anything and if you do you're inevitably wasting your breath.<br /><br />TV Licensing really are cold hearted, money grabbing scum.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702203117069680585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-5764990434524908942012-03-04T15:58:53.689+00:002012-03-04T15:58:53.689+00:00My Father died 2 yrs ago and obviously we cancelle...My Father died 2 yrs ago and obviously we cancelled his TV License direct debit. From that moment until his house was sold 2 years later there were 9 bullying letters from the licensing people and apparently 2 people called to check out that fact that he really was dead and we weren't just lying about it!<br />By the time of the 2nd visit the house was empty and obviously so and yet they still left a note saying they had called to check his TV licence and were disappointed not to have got access.<br />After my 5th letter to them explaining the situation I GOT A VISIT FROM THEM!!!!! <br />A officious pillock with a bullying manner and a clip board turned up at my front door questioning whether or not I had a license in spite of the fact that I pay by DD. <br />He asked to see my license or proof of payment but I refused so he made a phone call to someone and then he asked if my Father (and mentioned him by name)lived with me because I had written to say my Father no longer needed a TV licence!<br />He actually had the stupidity to ask why Dad no longer needed one!!!<br />I said because they have a group license in the cemetary and shut the door.<br />I havent been troubled againSylvieDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281531561938993463noreply@blogger.com
