Will try talking to our MP, hes helped out with other situations before and while I cannot see him being able to do anything once shes pled guilty, he might be able to bring it up to people who could change it and stop it happening again. No to the press. She doesn't want the attention, and neither do I! Will see what this SAR sends..if they don't just ignore that too
The courts really need to change how they operate tbh, as surely there are a lot of elderly/ill people who cannot physically get to court so have to plead guilty when they are not guilty...no wonder TV license take the piss like this. I am so annoyed as I have told her for years (and told everyone I know) NEVER to sign anything they bring to your door, regardless of what they claim it is...as I know they basically cannot prosecute you without your permission which you give when you sign their crap. She says she was massively pressured though, which I understand, shes not as assertive as me and has a horrendous anxiety condition to start with. Says he told her that she had to sign for a new TV license card to make her payments on, so she remembers signing but says it was under false pretences, but again, no proof of that, just her word against his :/
Pisstaking twats sent her another letter that she got yesterday..saying she owes them 46 quid and if she doesnt pay they may consider taking her to court! I put in a thing when she first came here saying she didnt need a license as basically, shes here not at home, plus when she goes home she wants netflix instead so she doesn't have this again (though I can well see them still lying to her to get her to sign stuff and just doing it over and over) but, it seems they have conitnued with the license she no longer needs and has already overpaid, and are now trying to get more cash from her, whilst getting a 120 fine from her for 1 day..ffs
