Since that I have heard nothing further from them, I guess they could have been around looking for me but they would be lucky to find me at home. A number of years ago when I didn't have a TV licence the letters arrived at least one a week. Then again I guess the threatening letters could start any day soon.  |
It'll be 4-6 months before the first bozo turns up. Before that you'll get the following numbers of increasingly silly letters all in envelopes marked "Urgent action required" or something equally stupid.
"Every home needs a TV licence" Blatent lie.
"Official warning: We have opened an investigation"
"You have not responeded to out letters yet"
No reason that I have to morons.
"We are in the final stages of our investigation"
Not much of one when you've supposidly had a dozen or so now.
"What you need to know if you go to court"
I'm not going to court, idiots.
"Ignoring this letter could cost you more than the licence fee"
And they'll try harassing you by phone too. Caller ID is your friend.
Repeat ad nausium. You'd think after 5 years they might get the message: Get lost losers.
Oh I forgot the one that looks like a form where you should declare whether you have TV receiving/recording equipment and then send it back to TVL. I mean you have no licence and you're going to admit you're breaking the law. Really are these people for real.
