   Nial to All   
   TV Tax for over 75

   Hi all,   
      
   I have turned 75 on June 2020 . I received a letter containing my free   
   TV licence until the first of August . Now I have a new letter demanding   
   payment for then onwards. I feel AGE Uk simply buying time and helping   
   BBC keeping elderly asking government to interfere. I understand that   
   even Boris Johnson had said it was not fair to ask elderly pay. I can   
   even afford my cat's vet fees, which in my opinion has more priority in   
   our lives   
      
   I do not intend to pay because I feel, this was my “ earned right “ .   
      
   My neighbour does not think TV tax is not a law set by the parliment.   
      
   My wife says she will divorce me if bailiffs come to door.   
      
   Can BBC do that ? Can I be prosecuted if I refuse to pay.   
      
   Our combined pension is below minimum what government set. But since we   
   had savings I did not apply for pension credit thinking I will not be   
   awarded as our savings were above 70 K at the time , yet now those   
   savings are now less than 50 K as we are thinking of changing housing to   
   a different area .   
      
   Thank you for guidance
