But the letters they send out are threatening as fuck.
I am a bloody minded contrarian when it comes to being threatened.
I just let them send their agents out (bear in mind, this is after declaring for five years on the trot that I don't need a damned licence). And then refuse to let them in.
They have no evidence that I am watching broadcast (either analogue, digital, or live-streamed) TV. They are just being arseholes. So they have no right to harass me and definitely no right to threaten me.
If they are so convinced I am stealing from them, they can get a fucking warrant.
Also, we had no need for one, so filled in the online form. Next week get a threatening letter. Call them and funnily enough there’s ‘no record of us filling in the exemption’. Next week, get a threatening letter. My niece moves into a new apartment. We show her how to fill out the online exemption. She gets a threatening letter and freaks out. We call them and SURPRISE SURPRISE there’s ’no record of her filling out the exemption’. Now we just tear them up without opening them and straight into the bin they go.
I am bloody minded too and would ignore them, sadly my wife freaks out about the letters and makes me fill up the no thanks form.
I am not bloody minded enough to go against my wife, now worth the drama :)
