    Me and my friends live in an appartment. we're moving out in 3 weeks.

    the other day the television licence man came and gave us a thing to say we had no licence and had to get one.

    he ticked a box to say he had seen our telly even though he didnt and wasnt able to. he never took any of our names.

    today we got a letter to say we had to buy one but there is no name on the letter and we are going in 3 weeks. should we just not get it? or could we still be fined even though he hasnt our names???

    The rule is whoever answered the door to the TV license guy gets a kicking!

    I answered once and said I didn't live here, closed the door, rolled a spliff, jumped over my back wall and went up to my Biology lecture =]

    They don't have your names and you're leaving in 3 weeks, don't bother your arse. Pop any notices back in the post with "Premises unoccupied" written on the front.

    They've heard all the excuses, and none of them work

    Could you live with the shame?:D

    Naa, seriously, why would you bother? Ye will be gone in a few weeks, before they even get around to prosecuting AND they don't have your names, so they can't prosecute anyway.

    Maybe we should have a 'TV License Forum', seeing as we get so many threads on the subject!!

    Well you will have atelly in your new place, so you'll need a licence there anyway. AFAIK, you can transfer a tv licence to your new address so you might as well buy one.

    That's a good idea, ask any of your friends do they have an old broken window. Next time he comes round to give you a lecture - throw the broken TV out the window!

    Checkmate!

    Double points if it lands on him!

    If I were you I'd contact your solicitor about the whole thing.
