TV Licensing

[MontyVeda]

I just ignore the letters... which are building up in to a rather large pile with 'return to sender' written on them.

If i put the letter in the post, will they [tv licensing] have to pay the return postage? or will the PO just bin them all?

I believe the latter. Reminds me of stories, possible apocryphal, of people preventing junk mail by attaching any such firmly to a house brick and marking it 'return to sender'.

I'll keep 'em, then if TV licensing ever actually knock on the door, i can hand them back in person.

I used to wait until I had a couple of credit card or loan applications sent to me - unsolicited - then I'd put the forms in each others envelopes and send them off.

No. Postage return is basically included in the price of the stamp.

(people used to use "return to sender" to never have to pay for postage. Carefully open letter, write reply, put it back in the envelope and then cross out your address and write "return to sender")

sort of like this you mean ?
totally sick of their harassing tactics. Binned my tv 6years ago, declared to them twice that i dont need no stinkin' license as i have no stinkin' tv & don't use the iplayer catchup thing, but still their letters come address to "The Occupier". Only had one personal visit during that time, AFAIK.

No Mr or Mrs The Occupier here.

Darlington, DL98 1AT is the return address on the back of my bright red envelope

That would make any letter sent to any Glasgow address in his name un-enforcable then imho, unless it stated specifically what job/area he was controlling....Maybe he actually *is* personally harassing us...

I would rather the inspector working and paying taxes rather than on the dole,, I cannot understand why letting somebody check you do have a tv is a problem. I am sure somebody will enlighten me.

Civillians, not court officers or police. Not always polite. Last one visiting here had no ID, so he stayed outside. Took the police to remove him.

No problems with them being civvies, no ID, no coming in.

Do they still use those magic TV detector vans that can even tell what channel you are using?
