If you don’t posses a tv and inform the licensing people why do they keep sending intimidating letters, stating that they have no record of a tv licence for this address and they intend to put questions to the occupier under caution. What don’t they understand ? Ain’t got a tv.
the tv licencing people have no power in law
if they keep harrasing you go to the cab and get advice on getting a restraining order against them "you will get your costs back"
and i reiterate they cannot "caution" you they have no legal powers
also they have no right to enter your property if they barge in call the police

Where do they require a license for a TV? I mean, I’m sure Obama has a plan coming for a tax for watching TV, but a license? Are you in Canada or something?

It’s a UK question- for the first answerer. Ask the powers that be and they’ll say that it’s just a letter the computer generates. They just love stressing us all out and delight in being a nuisance.

When I was at university they mass mailed the entire college with threatening letters well knowing that most of us didn’t have a TV in our room.
They can visit you if they like, but:
1. They can’t enter your property without a warrant unless you let them.
2. They can’t arrest you.
The only positive thing I can say about the TV licensing people is that their threatening letters are made of quite good quality paper and make excellent paper planes…
