Its easier if you quote the post you are replying to
IF its mine then Im somewhat confused

It's not yours custardy at all, you've been helpful thank you. I'm sorry for the confusion, not a big forum user and first time on here (probably last too) so still getting used to the etiquette

ok, well first I'll apologise for my judgemental post.

When writing a letter to a CEO, you need to be brief. You need to state facts, not feelings or opinions. You need to state what aspects of the law were not held up and you need to mention if you felt the behaviour of their staff was not appropriate (or not legal)

Also, the CEO will likely never read these emails. They'll be handled by admin staff.

Finally - don't call your username the company you work for and post your full name and middle initial. I'd also look at clamping down the privacy settings on your facebook page. That silly moustache is.. silly.

PPS. I really, really wouldn't include your full name in a post on MSE. It was far to easy to find information about you online

JHFinfinity - I agree that Ringo was a bit harsh, but he was right to flag-up the bit about your name; I'd consider removing it from your post just in case - you never know who's reading things online...!

I am sorry that you have had a negative experience and I hope things start to improve soon; it sounds like the last few months have been pretty shabby for you.

This is in no way a judgement or a suggestion, just a comment - but, when I started to struggle financially, one of the first things I got rid of was the TV. I haven't had a telly (apart from a set unconnected to an aerial so I can watch DVDs and videos) since 2009. I get news online or on the radio and there's always the iPlayer or You-Tube. One of the best things I ever did was freeing myself from the slavery of TV-watching, I don't even miss it now!

Best wishes for happier times ahead. x

I'm sorry ok. You're 26 now, time to grow a thicker skin

May I suggest looking on freecycle for a TV for Christmas?

. My whole christmas is now facing ruin and it is all because I bought a tv in the Black Friday sale.

A faulty TV is hardly a Christmas facing ruin.
Lets put it into perspective. No TV vs a friend of mine who's little baby nephew is currently on heart bypass battling for his life with a good chance he might not even see Christmas.
THATS Christmas ruin, your situation is a mere inconvenience.

Oh how LITTLE you know.

You only need a TV Licence for watching live TV tranmissions. It's not just TV sets that can receive live TV transmissions ... a PC can do so too (Iplayer Live for example).

By your assertion, having a PC but not a TV means you don't need a TV Licence. Which would be Complete Rubbish!

Ruth is NOT breaking the law.

Wrong!
You need a license if you watch or record TV as it is being broadcast, either gthrough the aerial, sattalite or internet.

If you only watch catchup serveices, or Loveflicks etc, you need no license.

That's not what tv licensing say:
http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/

You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.
It costs £145.50 for colour and £49.00 for a black and white TV Licence.

Tbh this is well established - that you do not need a license merely for owning a tv. You must be at the wind up to suggest otherwise.

I can read - you are still WRONG!

It is for TVL inspectors to PROVE that you were watching LIVE transmissions. (Which is why you should NEVER sign anything a TVL inspector may show you, even if he says it's just to record his visit - that is bull, he plans to use it to show you admitting guilt).

Having equipment CAPABLE of doing so is NOT admission of guilt. And is also NOT AN OFFENCE!

In fact, don't believe me - TVL say that themselves!
