Boghead ranter Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Asking for a friend - friend of mine got so fed up with BBC being a Tory mouthpiece about 6 months back that they cancelled their licence direct debit. Numerous e-mails and letters have followed, increasing in urgency from "there must have been an issue with your bank" to "we've referred this to our agents in Dundee who will visit your property". This week, my friend came home to a card thru the door stating that agents had visited while they were out, and would return in the future at some point. Is this like parking tickets, this can be continually ignored, or do the licence people have a bit more legal power behind them? Any P&Bers got experience they can share? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better just to tell them you no longer need a license, you can do it online and then they leave you alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the folk ever did arrive at your friend's door, said friend can simply tell them to bolt. They can only enter a property in Scotland with a warrant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call them up or email them to say you no longer require a license. Did this when I moved in Aberdeen and never got hassle once. Think I just told them I no longer had any appliance that was capable of screening and they just let it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Sounds like either a scam caller or someone got the wrong number. Almost certainly the former though since there was no caller ID. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a landline call I just lift the phone and say nothing - no voice, they hang up. For peace of mind do 1471 then put the number after googling who called. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised how much this has wobbled my mental health today I pulled the plug on my landline 3-4 years ago, and have been happy ever since. I was coming home to more than a dozen voicemails every fuckin day, and I had to go through them in case my elderly mum was phoning me. I showed her how easy speed dial was to use, I then filled her 10 speed dial spaces with the mobile numbers of her most dialled numbers, waited a week or so to make sure she nailed the speed dial thing, then removed the landline from my house. And we’ve all lived happily ever after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest you also cancel the contract for that number, save some money and be happier still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be investigating this one. Cheers mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Help solve a debate here please: Did Sportscene ever have a goal of the month contenders section set to this tune? It would have been earliest 2000s, probably. I'm adamant there was. Edited November 7, 2023 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
