Dear Owner/Occupier,

Our Enforcement Division has identified that there is no record of a TV Licence at your address, and that you may therefore be watching or recording television programme services without a valid licence. If this is the case, you are breaking the law.

Enforcement Officers have been authorised by us to visit your address ... to interview you under caution in compliance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.

If we find that you watch or record television without a licence, your statement will be the first step towards prosecution. Should you be convicted, your name will be added to our National Enforcement Database and the magistrate can impose a fine of up to £1,000.

To avoid a potential court appearance, you are strongly advised to call 0870 241 5698 now, to purchase a licence. The quickest way to pay is by debit or credit card, which we can arrange over the phone. We will be happy to discuss your individual TV Licensing requirements and answer any questions you may have.

Alternatively, you can buy your TV Licence at any Post Office(r) branch, or online at www.tvlicensing.co.uk

Yours faithfully,

John Robinson
Regional Manager
Chatham Enforcement Division

Wow, they're really being persistant about this o_o

Is there actually *any* way you can prove to them that you don't own a TV?

Send a letter back accusing them of possession of hazardous biological agents and say you'll get the US Army on them if they don't surrender them.

It'll be the perfect poetic justice.

Yeh i get these all the time. Even if you get a licance from thepost office they still send them to you! Thier systems sucks and they're a bunch of dumn fucks! I called them and told them stop sending haressing letters because it was having a "devistating" effect on my uni work and causing un-nessesery stress. They stopped sending them then and just marked me on the computer as having one!. ^_^
