Welcome
This site exists for one simple reason: to provide you with the facts about TV licensing without the layers of misleading language often found in official communications. We are here to dispel the myths and reassure you that if you don't use the service, you don't have to pay for it, and you certainly don't have to fear the process.
Our goal is to give you back control. Whether you've been receiving aggressive letters or feel pressured by their visiting Door to Door Cold Call Sales Team that they call 'Enforcement Officers', we want you to feel confident in your choices. You are not "doing something wrong" by choosing not to have a license if your viewing habits don't require one. We’ve laid out everything you need to know in plain English so you can proceed with total peace of mind.

The "Enforcement Officers" who knock on your door are actually a cold-calling sales team working on commission. They have no power of entry. Legally, they have exactly the same rights as any other door to door sales person; ie NONE! You can simply choose not to answer the door or ask them to leave your property.
The Letters
Furthermore, you are under no obligation to declare that you do not require a license. If you don't need one, you simply don't purchase one. You wouldn't fill out a form on a shop's website every year to tell them you won't be requiring a washing machine; a TV License is no different.
