Thanks for all those responses guys. She did have a 30 min consultation with few solicitors who they said they would only represent her for a fee of £1000,00 - the fee which person in financial difficulty would not have. This is the reason she did not have Lawyer in the first case.

Anyone knows if there could be any no win-no fee Lawyers for that kind of a case. Her 21 days for appeal have passed as she could not afford a Lawyer for an appeal and now TV License threatening her with another court action for continuing not to pay it. Is it not also illegal for a court reaching a verdict guilty without even allowing her to look on what documents are held there against her?

A TV Licensing case is not prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service nor has it anything at all to do with the police. No record is kept on the Police National Computer which is what a CRB looks at.

No they will not get it on no win no fee. She can do it herself, it is not as daunting as you would expect and a CC Judge would be more than accomodating

If she cannot afford a licence, then she must not watch TV. All the same programmes are available through iPlayer, etc., anyway.

According to the OP she doesn't even have a TV

A friend of mine had a visit by a TV license Inspector with whom she had an argument. He then has on purpose inputted that she has a TV whilst in reality she hasn't got one.

Maybe she has a computer?

I've read more than a few stories (and a court transcript) about TVL taking the opinion that if you own the equipment you MUST be watching/recording live broadcasts. And they'll all tell you never to sign anything as they're not above fabricating evidence.

Its just not worth the money. Especially not when you can get netflix or lovefilm at half the cost.

Did she sign something she did not read or is she claiming the evidence was tampered with after she signed it?
