FB - Active Resistance to the TV license
Hi everyone!, hope your all having a great day, wherever you are in country/world.
Due to a huge, influx of new members. We are, at the moment, swamped with tons of messages. it is hard, for us, to answer, the most important inquiries.
PLEASE READ THE INFO BELOW BEFORE SENDING US A PM!!
TO CANCEL YOUR TV LICENCE
1. Contact Tvl, inform them, that you no longer require a licence. (they will push you for a reason but there is NO requirement to go further than this, Be persistent). You can also do this online see below for the link and phone numbers.
2. Wait for, the barrage of threat letters. Any letters you get sent from TV LICENSING, put these into the bin, as they are computer generated, you and millions of others receive these letters daily
IF THEY VISIT
1. Always ask any stranger at your door, who they are. If they do, or do not state, who they are, simply say, "NOT INTERESTED" and close your door. Do not sign any PAPERWORK. As this is your way forward to a court hearing and a fine if you do sign.There is NO legal or lawful obligation to speak to these people. Keep the interaction with any stranger as short as possible.
LETTERS WITH YOUR NAME ON IT
If you are, receiving threat letters, with your name on them, or the letters were addressed to to the legal occupier, but now have your name on them. Throw them in the bin. It does not matter if they have your name, as they can acquire your name through 3rd party services. What they solely rely on is a signature that they will try to get from you when they visit. That is why it is important that you do not sign any PAPERWORK!.
SEARCH WARRANTS
TVL, have been known, to apply for SEARCH WARRANTS. 90% of the time, they will get refused by a judge. To avoid being, on the butt end, of one, of these rare WARRANTS, it is important that you do not send, their letters back to them especially, with insulting messages written on them. Do not remove, their visit rights, just simply turn strangers away from your door. People, like to send TVL a removal of rights letter, Any letters you send to TVL, will be stored away for future evidence and this coupled with the visits will strengthen there case when they do apply for a warrant. This also includes insulting them if they visit, it is all recorded.
DO NOT WORRY about the POLICE. They do not enforce the licence fee. They only attend the execution of a VERY RARE search warrant to PREVENT A BREACH OF THE PEACE.
IF YOU HAVE SKY/VIRGIN ETC
Your contracts, are secure and TVL, cannot obtain info from them. This will breach your contract, with these providers. Not good on their behalf.
CAN THEY TAKE YOU TO COURT WITH YOUR NAME
No they cannot, what they need, is a signature, on a form to do this.
MYTH BUSTING
TV detector vans do not exist, these are a placebo, to keep you paying, for your license. BBC have no way of knowing what you watch on tv. If they knew then these goons would never need to visit your home. Food for thought!.
HANDHELD DEVICES!... These are not TV detecting equipment. They are PDA'S that tell the person who lives at the address and shows them, as having no license, that is it. Goons have been known to tell people that their PDA'S detect TV equipment, absolute lies.
Do they know, i am watching TV, when i switch it on. Simply NO!.
TVL detection equipment has NEVER EVER EVER been used as evidence in a court room. A common myth to intimidate people into paying.
TAKE NOTE********
Anyone on the payment scheme, MUST also cancel, this scheme. This is a contract,with tvl, Make sure you are in front with payments first, before you cancel, this also applies to DD. Never cancel your DD, as this does not cancel, your license and will only put you further into debt. It is important, that you cancel your, license first then the DD. If on the other hand you buy the license outright then let it run it's course and have no contact after.
Always remember we are hear to help you all and should you not want to speak up on the page message us anytime with any problems you have about capita or tvl we will get back to you usually within 24 hrs depending on current message times
IF YOU GET A SUMMONS CONTACT US STRAIGHT AWAY
Enjoy your day
