There is law that TV licensing get told your address every time a TV is sold[0], which Argos etc will also do. That is entirely separate from NMPR and CheckMend

There is law that TV licensing get told your address every time a TV is sold[0], which Argos etc will also do. That is entirely separate from NMPR and CheckMend, which I hadn't heard of before. So seems to be an Amazon initiative.
[0] Actually anything able to receive TV, so covered video recorders etc too. Not sure how far it has been dragged into the internet age.
- lozf 9y agoI was going to say similar about the requirement to provide the purchasers name and address for TV Licensing, but I just searched for details on when it started - certainly we had to do it back in the early '80s, and discovered that it's no longer the case; "this requirement has been lifted by the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill passed in 2013".
- oldcynic 9y agoInteresting. Didn't know that had changed.
