Default TV licensing and their powers.

So my friend can't afford to renew her tv licence till after xmas and she phoned them up and said she would not watch the tv until she could pay. They said that was fine but make sure she doesn't put it on by accident because they can now detect such from their offices. I think this is bull****. They would not need TV detector vans if that were the case surely?

They can't tell at all....the detectors vans can't tell either.. they can only tell if they knock on the door and see you watching

This is true. They were out of order to tell your friend that they can do something they cant. There should be someway Kate can take that further but I'm not sure of the details.

You don't have to pay 12 months upfront. Can she not afford monthly?

Unless she’s using i player there’s no way they’d be able to tell

Even then they can’t prove if someone has paid or not
