Got a letter in the post today from TV licensing. They have been hassling me for yonks in regards buying a TV license threatening court blah blah which I have duly ignored.

However I have just bought a TV from a high street shop (using as a monitor, I don't want or ever watch TV).

However today they had a detailed letter saying the xxxxxx (the name of the shop) had informed them that I had purchased a TV. They included a load of details etc.


Bit cheeky isn't it, the shop telling TV licensing such information.


I take it I still can carry on ignoring them?

all shops do that to stop people (like you?) not paying for a TV licence. Sadly it doesn't matter if you don't watch TV. Has a TV? need a TV licence

hmm, well I'm not paying it. Paid my tax on the TV already, they are not stealing another £142 out of me.

Guess its refuse entry time if they do decide to come round xD.



Though how have the facts changed? I thought you only needed a license if you watched tv? I have the TV but don't watch broadcasts. Can I ask them to remove a tuner or something?

did you not think it was strange that the telly shop asked you to fill a form in with all your details on?

I bought it online, and at no point was a reference made to taking my details to hand to a third party.

Because its 2x the size of most monitors and I got a bargain on it. Stuff looks great on it.
