How to stop TV Licensing knocking on your door

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[your name & address]

TV Licensing,
Bristol.
BS98 1TL

Dear Sir or Madam:

With regard to your TV licence renewal notification, I can inform you that I no longer require a TV licence. There is no equipment installed or used at this address that is capable of receiving broadcast TV programmes. I state this in full awareness of the requirements set out in Part 4 of the Communications Act 2003 on Licensing of TV Reception: also, I am fully aware of the requirements on TV licensing set out in the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004.

You are invited to reply to this letter in acknowledgement that I have informed you of my legal position. My stated legal position is that there is no TV receiving equipment installed or used at [my address]: as a consequence, I do not require to have a TV licence for this address.

I expect no further correspondence from you apart from a reply to this letter. In particular, I do not expect to receive from you, reminders that this address is unlicensed. Furthermore, I do not expect to receive from you, correspondence suggesting that I might be using TV receiving equipment at this address requiring investigation by TV Licensing Enforcement Officers.

In addition, there is considerable mention that TV Licensing Enforcement Officers call at (TV) unlicensed addresses and aggressively investigate the situation at these addresses in the belief that there is TV licence evasion at the address. I will not tolerate any visit by a TV Licensing Enforcement Officer at my address. Therefore, I withdraw from TV Licensing, its employees and its agents, the implied right of access to my property at [my address]. Henceforth, no employee or agent of TV Licensing qualifies as an invitee to my property. Any such person who ventures onto my property at [my address], will be trespassing on my land, and I shall not hesitate to seek legal redress for the offence caused.

I hope that I have made my position clear.

Signed,

[your name]
