DIDO.1 20,864 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just got a letter informing us we don't have one. My plan was to stop buying one in protest. Problem is I live in a bungalow and you can see the TV's through the windows and I can't move em... What are my rights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan85 722 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I know a lot of folk on here say they don't pay it so how come thousands are fined every year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Was the letter addressed to "the occupier" (means they wouldn't know who to fine) or to you by name? Thicker curtains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,190 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Because people admit they were watching it or get tricked into signing the forum on the doorstep by the gobshites that come round,couple year ago they reckoned they were going to visit us and the letter was addressed from Worcester way,would love for them to drive all that way to be told to feck off lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dazbrowne 13 333 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Read something about this on another site if you own your house you can f**k them off the fella who had done it threatened them with a bill if they came on his property as they don't have a legal right will try and find it for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 i'm sure some of the armchair lawyers on youtube get away with it, but it's an awful lot of f***ing about and wondering who's knocking at your door to save a few quid IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,725 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 As FOD said revoke their implied right to access, just address it as the present occupier, never use your name. If they come snooping after revoking their right to access them they're trespassing as soon as they come through your gate. They'll throw all the usual threats about but just ignore them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

simononeill93 69 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Google it, I think you don't need one if you don't watch ,record,etc BBC programs that are live.I think you can watch it on catch up but they are going to close that loop hole soon. Always check. Is £145 a year worth the chance of a fine.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
