Visiting officers What happens when a visiting officer visits a home?
How do I know if a visiting officer is genuinely employed by TV Licensing? The ID card will also show the expiry date along with their unique six-digit card number. If you request it, the officer will provide you with our telephone number: The Customer Service advisor will guide you through the rest of the verification process.
In what circumstances can TV Licensing access my property without my permission? What rules govern records of interview made by visiting officers? What are your rules of conduct for visiting officers? When our officers visit a property they will: Prove their identity by showing an identity card.
Explain why they are visiting and be polite, courteous and fair. Follow applicable laws, regulations, policies and codes of practice. Avoid threatening or intimidating behaviour. Enter the property only when given permission. When necessary, conduct a record of interview and ask for a signature to confirm that the notes taken are an accurate account of that interview. Make sure the person being interviewed knows what consequences may arise as a result of watching or recording live TV programmes on any channel or device, or downloading or watching BBC programmes on BBC iPlayer, without being covered by a TV licence.
Stop the visit if asked to leave. When necessary, use detection equipment or apply to Court for a search warrant if they have reason to believe that someone at the address is committing an offence by using a television receiver without a licence. How do I complain about a visiting officer? Find out more about making a complaint Why were some visiting officers wearing body worn video equipment?
Find out more about the trial Customer Care Visits Customer care visits have been carefully designed to provide further support to the small group of overs customers who previously held a free licence but have yet to get set up on a new licence. More help and information about Customer Care visits. Vulnerable customers A vulnerable customer is someone whose personal circumstances have a significant impact on their ability to buy or manage a TV Licence.
We needed to use detection equipment or get a search warrant to gather evidence in your case. You made a false declaration of not needing a TV licence. You said that you did not, or do not, intend to pay your licence fee even though you needed one. You were offered an alternative to prosecution, but still failed to pay for a licence in full or make the payments you needed to for one. They'd still want to come and verify the honesty of your claim.
OK If you read this because you want to evade paying the licence fee this is not for you, I have not had a TV for 5 years and never watch live stream on any device I own but still the powers that be continue to harass by mail and notes through my door demanding access.
Never ever give your details, never let them in even if they have a warrant refuse to consent to it its only an act not law, they will turn up with the police but they are there to stop a breach of the peace nothing more. Thanks for taking the time to comment Anon, but we must disagree with your stance. In the extremely unlikely event that TVL do appear with a warrant, then they should be allowed access.
To deny them access runs the serious risk of obstruction charges, which result in a more severe penalty than LF evasion alone. Whether you like it or not, the courts do not subscribe to your legal logic. Nor do we. When I receive mine it will go in the bin. The BBC are degenerate scum. It's about time these lying fraudsters were put out of business. Let them self fund through adverts. People should not be paying to receive propaganda, common purpose clap trap from paedophile protecting low-lives who support the genocide of Palestinians.
We were not born to be manipulated and scammed by a minority group of fraudsters who should all be held to account. They should all be thrown in Jail for extorting money through deception. I live on my own and don't like knocks at my front door. I am a private person, I am in my own home and not breaking any laws. I feel I am being assaulted in my own home. If they do come knocking, but there's no reply, then they should push a "We Said We'd Call" card through the door.
Again, this is another tactic to unnerve the occupier and you should not be unduly concerned by it. Simply ignore TV Licensing completely. Be sure not to engage in casual chit-chat with strangers that visit, bin their letters unopened. Very importantly, make sure you're well versed in TV Licensing's sinister and dishonest tactics. Some TV Licensing goons have no compunction at all when it comes to setting up innocent people. Our free ebook would be a good place to start.
I will down load your booklet and ensure my local library are aware of it so that they may help others. I have quite a few friends who don't watch telly at all. I wrote to my mp about it a year or so ago.
Reply to Admin RE: "Mr. Colin Bright". Unless this authoritative figure has moved residency in the last two years, Colin Bright also is purported to be the Enforcement Manager of Leeds too. Quite the workaholic Has anyone tracked down this Colin blight oops I mean Bright? He is also the enforcement manager for Middlesbrough, I think we need to track him down and forward all letters to hos address Just a thought.
However I have a feeling he does not exist Colin Bright must be shattered! Clearly he is not very bright is he? I would put money on the fact that he does not exist!
Causing, Harassment, Alarm and Distress is a criminal offence!!!!! Gone through all that The implied right of access is there so that people with legitimate reasons to enter your property, such as delivery men or milk men can do so without fear of prosecution.
