Curry's Gave out my details!!!

Curry's Gave out my details!!!

a few months ago, my 32" CRT telly er... fell down the stairs. So i claimed on the insurance, got a nice 40" plasma from Curry's - thanks very much.

Forward 1 week, JUST 1 FUCKING WEEK our lass and kids in the house alone, knock at the door, it's a TV Licencing Representative AND A baillif at the door with a foot in it, asking why we'd bought a telly and why i didn't have a tv licence. "we're taking you to court, we're required to remove the tv is viewing doesn't stop yada yada yada" our lass is scared, kids scared - all because they didn't see that the tv licence was in the wifes name, not mine.


surely their records show we have a licence for that house? is it flats?

NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO FUCKING DO than to tax and fuck over mr. average.



i still can't believe a private firm like Curry's gave MY DETAILS of what i'd bought to the government.

2 sternly worded, but probably pointless letters have been dispatched

no letters, knocked on the door 7 days later with a bailiff in tow!!! what the fuck?

i'm going to get a hijab for the wife, they might leave us alone

Alright Phil, did they not get you to complete some sort of form with name and address at time of purchase? I bought a freeview box last year from Asda and had to fill out a form at the checkout before the spotty bint would let me bag it and leave.

they took it as part of the invoice - but they didnt specifically ask my address for this reason - just as the usual part of the warrenty

Strange that they would take such action so quickly.

We got a letter or two last year when my boyfriend bought a TV as the licence was in my name, then again a few weeks later when our other flatmate bought an aerial. It went on for a few weeks each time since we didn't hurry to give them a ring as we knew we were okay.

Total joke that they'd send a bailiff after so little time though.

they were "in the area".....


just overkill.

It does sound odd, cos those TV license blokes take a week to turn round!

Weren't conmen were they?

The telly fell down the stairs?

I bought a freeview box at asda, got a letter a week later saying there was no records of a tv license at the address in MY name, obviously not because its in Micks dads name! instead of sending the letter and wasting the paper why dont they just check on the system to see the license in someone elses name

IF EVERYONE JUST REFUSED TO PAY THE TV LICENSE THEN THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FORCE THE BBC INTO FINDING ITS FUNDING FROM ELSEWHERE.

THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ARE WEAK.

or close the bbc down more like.
then tv and radio could be just like the US
lovely
you are weak in the head my friend

Well spotted, if everyone in the country did something the Government could not cope.

SO IN YOUR WORLD THE BBC LOSES ALL OF ITS LICENSE PAYING CUSTOMERS SO SHUTS ITSELF DOWN.

AND THIS IS SO THAT IT CAN MAKE A VALID POINT ABOUT NOT SELLING ADVERTISING, RIGHT?

YOU DO REALISE THAT THE BBC COULD NAME THEIR PRICE FOR AN ADVERT SLOT INBETWEEN EASTENDERS RIGHT?

ARE YOU SURE ITS ME THATS WEAK IN THE HEAD CAUSE I DONT THINK IT IS.

adverts are wank. I would pay my tv licence and a bit more on top if they stopped all adverts for anything other than TV shows/films. Some adverts on Sky are on within 8 mins of the program starting. its joke. Especially when its some shouty wanker trying to sell Cillit Bang or that toss pot off the confused.com adverts!! :fart:

this boils my piss, Deadliest Catch started last night at 10.01pm, first advert was 10.07pm :evil:
