  1. I recently cancelled my TV licence, online, directly with TV Licencing. I told them that as of December 1st 2024, I no longer require a TV licence. They asked on the form when this might change, and as I genuine do not believe I will ever need one in the future, I put December 1st 2099 in the box. During the process, they informed me that they would not contact me again until the date I had indicated, unless it was regarding the cancellation specifically. They also stated, a little to my surprise, to go ahead and cancel any direct debit - so I did, immediately. A day or two passed, and they sent me an email which read something along the lines of "We've been notified that your direct debit has been cancelled, if you don't re-instate it we might miss a payment - and that means that you will be breaking the law. I had a little chuckle to myself, given that they had told me to cancel the direct debit, and deleted the email. Another day or two passed, and they sent me a "thank you for cancelling your TV licence" email.
