I think this is the link
Telling us you don't need a TV Licence - TV Licensing ™
Let us know if you don’t need a TV Licence. But, if you watch or record programmes as they're being shown on TV, then you do need to be covered by one.

Yeah that's where I got to, when you select yes and put in your number, it then says can't do it online.I think this is the link

Try this one: https://forms.tvlicensing.co.uk/Viewer?FormName=Refund and cancellation request (1.3).wdf
Tell them you're dead
Ending the DD probably does more financial damage to them though as it's going cause chaos if everyone starts doing it. It will make their forcasts very wrong and I think companies get charged for failed DD attempts, that will mount up.

That's deliberate to make you phone up. Then the people on the phone will grill you and tell you that you need a license even if you don't. Bs them just to get through the process, if you answer honestly they will refuse to process the no license needed.
I had to escalate to the manager, then to complaints, then to legal, and ofc the legal person agreed with me because I was right.

Or do what I did mid phone-call after being quizzed about what I was watching... put the phone down and cancel the direct debit.

I've seen others say this but isn't it fraud? I'm all for cancelling it as I genuinely hardly use it and so can easily simply stop using it completely and so don't need a licence. But all the stuff I'm reading about the visits, letters, possible warrants - to be honest I may just keep paying it to not have the hassle of all that and the risk.Tell them you're dead
You aren't gaining anything from it so I doubt it. We also don't have any legal obligation to the BBC, it's like telling Tesco clubcard you died. If they proove you aren't dead, so what? You still don't have to buy a license.
It's not like you're faking your own death and having your debts wiped.

Cave in to bullies and intimidation huh?
I don't watch broadcast TV and I don't have a license, I just get the letters which are thrown in the bin. Never had anyone knocking on the door and if they do I'll tell them to FO
If they do knock, or before they do, remove the implied right of access to them.
It doesn't make any difference as the harassment letters are addressed to "The Legal Occupier".Tell them you're dead
But you can cancel without phoning.
Invite them in.. Wearing nothing but a leather gimp mask.
Then tell them the tv
is in the dungeon?That aerial is down there somewhere. Just reach around a bit more...Then tell them the tv
I dont think you can anymore. Last I heard phoning is the only way to cancel now and they send you though a phone gauntlet to cancel. Unless sending an old fashioned letter still works? Though I wouldn't be surprised if they "lost" the letter and so didn't cancel.
