None of these companies need to come into my premises.
Gas meter located outside, so no need for them to enter.
Electric meter read from outside, but I do have this argument every few years when they want access to inspect it internally. (I have told them they should fit the meter outside)
Royal mail, have never needed to, and I have no idea why they would ever need to come into my house to deliver. (I don't have parcels delivered to my address anyway)
TVL certainly have no need to come into my house, if they have sufficient reason to believe I'm lying they can obtain a warrant.
I think you just need to put things into perspective, it's a licence for watching live TV. Making a statement that you don't require the service should be enough, I couldn't care less if the penalty being caught for watching live TV was raised to £100k and 5 years in prison because it doesn't affect me.
I don't have the police knocking on the door because I don't have a shotgun licence, or the civil air authority knocking because I don't have a pilots licence etc. I haven't got these licences because i don't shoot a gun or fly a plane and they seem to accept that without assuming I must be a liar.
