Closed Stop TV Licencing using harassing and threatening tactics.

Closed on

TV Licensing is a trademark of the British Broadcasting Channel. The BBC receives money from TV Licence payers within the United Kingdom.

Those who do not purchase a TV Licence are harassed, threatened and bullied by the company. TV Licensing 'Officers' are deployed to addresses that do not have a licence; often scaremongering people into believing that they may go to court, or that TV Licensing may obtain a warrant to search the premises.

The BBC and its contractors are private companies and they should not be harassing people into buying a TV Licence if they do not wish to do so.

TV Licensing should be forced to cease its harassment, campaigns and scaremongering.
