Hello all,
Just wanted to ask for some help with a tv licensing issue...
I was visited by a tv licensing officer today asking if there is a license at this property. He said the property has not been licensed for a while and thats why he is here. he asked for people who lived at the property before, as they were not paying the license fee.
I had only moved to the property in september and connected a tv last night after moving it from my previous address (where my family has a tv license). after receiving a bt vision box last week.
The man inspected the tv and set up. i could only get one channel since i dont have an aerial installed on the roof as yet and connected an indoor antena.
he noted all of this down in the record of interview/caution form and asked me for payment details for the license. I was going to get the license on wednesday (payday) but i was informed I can set up a quaterly direct debit so we proceeded with that.
I asked for confirmation that i will not be liable for the previous persons omissions and aked what is my position with tv licenseing authority now. I was informed that I maybe prosecuted for not having a tv license.
Bearing in mind that I have moved in 2 months ago and managed to get a tv into the house only yesterday evening, could I kindly ask what is my position with regard to the law?
I do not have a tenancy but live in mothers house.
Many thanks for any comments.
