Hi guys
I live in a flat with another person who historically has always paid the TV license on a monthly basis, and I paid him my half. However, we had a visit from TVL today - apparently it hasn't been paid the last month or two.
Anyway, I opened the door to him and although he was not able to see it, it was clear there was some sort of thing playing in the next room by the sound. I refused to answer most of the questions - although unfortunately I did provide my name. He said it was obvious the TV was on so he didn't need to come in, which I did not respond to at all. I simply said that I wouldn't answer any more questions and that I would ensure it was paid today.
I didn't sign the interview form, but I noticed later that he put down that I had admitted the TV was in use 'now', when I did not. For all anyone can know, it might have been catch-up TV on my laptop. There is no further information recorded, but I am now concerned they will use that as some form of admission and prosecute on that basis. Can I get this corrected before that happens? If it went to court, would I have to plead 'not guilty' to argue this lack of evidence?
Thanks
