I'm more than happy to pay £13 a month for the BBC. I listen to Radio 6 Music daily, use the Iplayer a lot, watch England games in tournaments, Wimbledon each year, the Olympics, listen to Boro on BBC Tees and like the fact lots of normal people are in creative enjoyable employment in the institution. How much is Netflix these days? About the same I suppose. Give me the BBC every time.Not much. Just a guy came round one day and knocked on the door and asked a few questions. He was sound, he came in for a brew, we had a chat and he left.
They didn't catch me for the poll tax. A police horse on westminster bridge did though. Good and properlike the campaign not to pay the poll tax you'll have to pay in the end and maybe end up incurring bailiff charges and CCJ costs on top
Watching live TV of any kind requires a licence budJust tell them you don’t watch any BBC channels or and of their online content. It’s easy to do. They sent someone round to check, but it was about a year or so later. We only really watch Netflix and I only watch live sport via virgin and never watch terrestrial tv. The licence will be abolished in the near future anyway.
Not legally it doesn’t.Watching live TV of any kind requires a licence bud
Wouldn’t happen if enough did itRuined credit rating, impossible to ever get a mortgage or any credit plus the possibility of bailiffs at your door. Its really not a good idea if you don't want your finances ruined
It would, it takes seconds for a company to report something to a credit score. This wouldn’t stop even if a million people didn’t pay their bills.Wouldn’t happen if enough did it
It is a good idea. But it's a one in all in thing. If we all did it actions would have to be taken. You current prosecute 66 million people that easily.Ruined credit rating, impossible to ever get a mortgage or any credit plus the possibility of bailiffs at your door.

If everyone did it the credit system would collapse. What would be the point in reporting or recording that everyone refused to pay their electricity bill?It would, it takes seconds for a company to report something to a credit score. This wouldn’t stop even if a million people didn’t pay their bills.
Just hope people aren’t daft enough to try this, the protest wouldn’t work but people will feel the implications for years to come with a missed payment
Even if millions did wouldn’t companies just put their costs up more to recover the losses?
This. I missed a mortgage payment in 2016 and my credit score nosedived. It took until this year to get back to where I was and I pay everything on time.It would, it takes seconds for a company to report something to a credit score.

When you cease paying for something by cancelling a direct debit the energy company legally can turn the supply off. Looking at the dontpayuk sites they have a paucity of information and aims. The ill formed campaign urges action without thought towards the logical consequences. It looks like a school project.this campaign (dontpayuk) urges mass collective action, to refuse to pay ridiculous energy bills. It will only get worse if people don't protest because we know that government and oil companies don't care who suffers as long as they sustain their power or profits. Millions refusing to pay could cause a seismic shift in the industry.
What do people think?
