OAP Brits have been urged to cancel their TV licence fee direct debits as millions of over 75s are sent letters today demanding they pay the £157.50 bill.
The BBC has hired 800 licence fee 'agents' to ensure pensioners pay the annual levy as the war over it being scrapped for the elderly rages on.
Campaigners have told over 60s to cancel their payments in solidarity with over 75s instead of offering to set up monthly instalments.
Dennis Reed, from Silver Voices, one of the groups behind the protest, told The Times that they were planning a “long attritional campaign” to make the Beeb change their mind.
Mr Reed said many of his members were refusing to cough up and he hopes the movement will throw a spanner into the TV Licensing’s enforcement and collection system.
I wonder how much traction this will gain and hope that those who refuse to pay know their rights regarding TVL bozoe's:
They have no statutary right of entry and if accidentally admitted must leave the moment you tell them to.
They have no right to inspect any equipment that you may or may not have.
You do not have to answer the door to them or take phone calls from them.
They may not deviate from the path from the boundary to your front door. (Applies to any stranger)
Ensure that your name(s) are only on the private electoral register, then they don't know who lives at your address and they cannot prosecute "The Legal Occupier" Only by name.
Ensure that any TV etc cannot be seen from the street.
TV detector vans are a myth. The van exixts but it's empty.
