    The fine for no tv licence is huge £1000 I think. With everything computerised these days I wouldn’t chance it if I were you. Don’t rely on the vans coming or not coming round as they don’t and never did work just frightened people into getting their licence.
    Check out who is the biggest prosecutor of females in the UK. Most are self confessed by salesmen knocking at their doors during the daytime! In this day of multi, paying for this empire that has the GDP of about the 130th richest nation should not continue into the 21st century!
    As for the ban, they are a con, as they never show how they detected the TV in the first place, as this would be contested in any court.

    When i first started work, many many years ago now. I was in the accounts dept, and my boss always use to tell me never pay anyone until the red letter arrives, until someone sends a red warning, they don't really want the money.

    What a numpty - if everyone didn’t pay until the redremindernp - no wonder so many small businesses shut down.

    I must be missing something even if you did pay late it ( which would be daft with car tax as it's a automated process now so a fine letter would be sent out within days as you still have a reminder sent before it actually due) the amount would still be the same over the year as they would just back date from the date due.
