Licence-fee outsourcer Capita caught wringing BBC tax from vulnerable

Re: Let the advertisers pay?

If you hate adverts -record the program and watch it later and edit the adverts out.

thats what I do on my mothers TV -it means she can watch stuff in the day.

shes 86 now and falls asleep while watching programs at night

Either that or make them provide a black box for each TV like SKY AND VIRGIN

Re: Quite correct

I have no TV or any BBC recieving equipment at my house. yet since 1992 BBC TV licensing have been contacting me by letter about a TV license one letter every 2 years.

Fairly inoffensive letters asking if I had a TV, I told them I had no TV the letters stopped for 2 years

This went on until 2015

Capita took over

I recieved a letter a NASTY THREATENING LETTER every month,

I told them by phone I had no TV.

I told them by letter I had no TV.

The letters kept coming monthly for three years

I finally had enough and threatened them with court action

They even sent a threatening letter while the court case was being dealt with

The case came to court

The judge found them guilty of harassment and sending threatening letters.

But said he could not enforce this because Capita have a legal right to contact anyone they feel may be using a TV without a license.

So the justice system openly allows harassment and by their actions condones harassment by CAPITA TV licensing .

When the justice system allows a crime to go unpunished, it is time to take the law into your hands.

I tried it the legal way - now its my way
