Another month, another letter from good old TV Licensing. While I keep hearing from them they complain that the haven’t heard from me. I wonder why that is?

Following their latest 10 Day Window (which I obviously ignored) I’ve received another letter stating the obvious: “This address is still unlicensed”

We wrote to tell you we were giving you 10 days to get correctly licensed – free from the risk of an enforcement visit

Oh, cool, considering that I’ve been correctly licensed (meaning I don’t have one as I don’t watch live TV or use iPlayer) for many many many years you will stop sending me these stupid letters threatening me with all kinds of legal consequences and visits?

I don’t know why, but somehow I have my doubts….

Haven’t written about TV Licensing for a while since asking if they have run out of ideas back in March. The last few letters I’ve shredded straight away, now it’s time to confirm, yes, they have run out of ideas. Demonstrated with the latest letter:

As you’ve probably guessed this is yet another repeat. Almost to the day one year after the last 10-Day window opened another 10-Day window opens. Last year it closed on the 4th of September, this year it closes on the 3rd of September.

Same as last year I’m going to do exactly … nothing. They gave me a 10-Day window to get correctly licensed. Which I’ve been for the last 25+ years. I don’t have any form of TV Licence as I don’t need one. I don’t watch any live TV and don’t use iPlayer. Simple as that.

Now lets see if this post series will continue with some new letter or if I will only post the occasional repeat.

I’m getting a bit bored and disappointed with TV Licensing. It’s only been just over a year and just like on television they are already resorting to repeats? Really?

Back in October 2024 TV Licensing asked me “Will you be in on 30th October?“. Now they’ve sent me an essentially identical letter just changing the date to 19th March:

Come on TV Licensing, you can do better than that. Please come up with some new scary threat of made up nonsense I haven’t seen yet. Be innovative. Be creative. Give me something to look forward to. A really exciting new letter. No repeats please.
