It's the principle of holding TV Licensing to account and making it realise that its days of trampling over little people are drawing to an end.<br /><br />We actually wrote about the new "10 days" letter not that long ago, if you'd care to read more about it:<br /><a href="http://tv-licensing.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/tv-licensing-were-giving-you-10-days-to.html" rel="nofollow">TV Licensing: We're Giving You 10 Days to Get Correctly Licensed</a>Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702203117069680585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-16790338677385414162014-11-09T19:52:08.638+00:002014-11-09T19:52:08.638+00:00I'm in the same boat.

And over all these 12 years I have received their computer generated letters. It costs me nothing to ignore them and put them in the junk mail recycling box. It is all cost to them. I have had no contact with them for 12 years.<br />Today, however, I had a new format letter!<br />Not a piddling A5 as before. No a big A4 letter stating that I had until the 20th November to pay up before they would take action. <br />A calendar showing me that I had 10 days when their 'enforcement officers' would not visit me! Gosh! Aren't I lucky?<br />Well I suppose it's not a bad idea to go for compensation - but £149. <br />It needs to be £1490 before I wast a good 2nd class stamp on them!Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.com
