Dear Sir/Madam,
You have not responded to our previous letters. We want to ensure you have the information you may need before a hearing is set at your local court.
Please read the information below carefully and keep for your records. You will be allowed to take it into court with you.
Yours faithfully,
[authorized signature]
Enforcement Manager
WHAT TO EXPECT IN COURT
If you are asked to appear in court, this is what you can expect to happen:
You can appoint a lawyer to represent you, or you may represent yourself.
Evidence collected during an enforcement visit to your property is used by the court to decide if you are guilty of TV License evasion.
The court has the power to impose a fibne off up to £1,000 plus any legal costs and/or compensation you may be ordered to pay. The decision is legally binding.
If your property needs a TV licence, you will still need to buy one.
HOW TO AVOID A COURT SUMMONS
It is illegal to watch or record programmes as they are being shown on TV or live on an online TV service without a TV License - no matter what device you use. The only way to stop this investigation from going any further is to do one of the following:
Buy a TV License. A colour license costs £145.50
Let us know you don't need one at tvlicensing.co.uk/noTV. We may visit to confirm this.

Well obviously the first point of contention I have with their threatening letter is that I have responded to their previous letters as is plainly obvious by the existence of this blog which shows very clearly exactly How I responded to their previous letters.
On the upshot, I note also that like myself, the TV License company spell the word Colour with a U although I have gone over to the American way of spelling program without suffix -me. Blogspots spellchecker picks up on these things.
I am ignoring their stressful letter to see what happens next and how far they are going to take their game before I show a judge a copy of the letter I sent explaining to them that i do not have aTV and that by Common Law I do have a Right to charge money for my time especially when it involves ignoring my pre-notification to invade my private living space on a pretext of attempting to exploit me for money. It will be a very expensive maneuver for them if a judge decides to obey the Law. Not that I have any guarantee's regarding that in this day and age.
For emphasis: the criteria for requiring a TV License in Britain is that a person ACTIVELY WATCHES LIVE STREAM. If a person does not do this, no license is required. I do not do this. They cannot ever be able to prove that I do, simply because I do not do this.
The gray area about 'what happens if I watch cached data from Youtube, Netflix or Amazon Prime' is answered very simply by this: those are not live streams. They are exempt from TV License. Simple as.
My second point of contention is that a Court cannot summon 'the legal occupier' because a court summons (is actually a request to become involved with my financial concerns, which I do not legally have to oblige them as such intervention is necessary voluntary; it would be abuse of Human Rights to force me into court; writing a polite letter to decline their offer of contract will of course be charged to the TV License company at my pre-notified schedule). The court can only deliver such an invitation to a named person. 'the legal occupier' is not sufficient; I would have to voluntarily accept that the term represents me. The descriptor 'legal occupier' rather than simply 'the occupier' is specific: they are talking to the paperwork entity which as an inert object has no mind and soul to be able to make such decisions by itself. Ask your passport verbally where it wants to go on holiday next year for £145.50 and it won't tell you, given that it is not blessed with a mind and soul. Writing a letter to an inert object is a symptom of mental health disorder in my professional opinion as a qualified counselor and on this basis the [authorized signature] on the Notification from the TV License company dated January 2016 is evidence of that. Whoever authorized it talks to walls and expects answers. I do not intend to trade with such a person.
