The "detectors" are bullshit....
all they do is look for all the addresses with no licence and send letters, then call round on spec, cos every house has at least one TV, right?

My mum didn't have a TV for quite a few years, and used to get regular letters and visits, until she wrote them a snotty letter telling them to stop.

There are no magic vans, just the electoral roll and a bunch of cunts.

The last time I had a TV, they had four channels. Yet I got these letters up until last year
...when I sent them a scathing letter demanding that they stop accusing me of criminal behaviour immediately, or I would get a solicitor onto them for harassment.

Haven't heard from them since.

licence office
just sends out letters regardless. I received one demanding full payment immediately when I was staying in halls. Ignored it till they sent someone round, at which point I pointed out that not only did I not have a TV, as a white teenage male it was unlikely that I was Mrs Jangahar.
