Topic: Oh shit, just got 4 points on my TV licence,

Erik !AltRitexT6 started this discussion 6 years ago #96,657

The BBC found out I had downloaded forbidden content. If I get another 6 points they'll take away my TV and scoial media.

Is that for life or per year?

TV licence points come off every 3 years but they suck because the fee goes up based on how many points you have

Damn. Does the fee increase stack after they're off the license?

Hey mate, how awesome is it now that those scamming criminal Pakis have all fucked off out of England? Now that those Krauts don't rule us anymore we can get back to imposing British laws on our country!

Once you have a clean TV licence you're okay, just got pay the basic fee and social media isn't monitored but the more points you gain the more they check your socal media and the higher fee you pay plus they talk to your ISP to see what you're up to. At 12 points you lose your licence for up to 3 years. They are arseholes.

Means VPNs are essentual

That's easy for you to say, I'm a homeowner. If I don't pay the fee the police and force entry to my home.

It's not as bad as OP's making it seem. They don't really care as long as your social media posts aren't BBC related. They only monitor posts that use certain keywords, and enforcement officers visit a handful of times a year, tops. It's all a fuss over nothing, honestly.

a handful of times a year you get visited by officials regarding your social media use??

You also have the option of making an appointment to attend court so you can be reviewed.

If you've got points on your TV licence, but otherwise they leave you be. Right-wing nuts make a huge deal out of it. It's fine. Nobody cares.

Have you ever attended one of them? I wouldn't trust courts, they snoop too much and can dig up anything. It's best to just pay the incressed fee and use a VPN then act all nice nice when the licence officers come round.

Yes, a good couple of years ago now. They're not so bad if you play by the rules. I saw the state of the gaol they put licence breakers in though, I wouldn't risk that.

They shitlist you. It's right there in the rules on https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk

Never use your TV while drunk, "high", very tired or in any other way "unfocused" or "out of your mind". Also, never let anyone else use your TV. You are solely responsible for what is watched using it, and it is far from sure that you will be believed when you blame watching something on your're "stupid little brother" or "idiot friends".
