TV personality and former sportsman Gary Lineker has revealed that he receives threatograms from TV Licensing, despite coining in the best part of £2 million from the BBC every year.
Speaking to The Sun, the BBC Sports presenter said: "I get a letter every month because they've still got (my home) in their books as four apartments, so I get a letter for each."
Lineker went on to recount the very common tale that he'd contacted TV Licensing on numerous occasions in an attempt to rectify its mistake, but the threat letters continue to arrive regardless.
"Do you think I'm not going to pay my licence fee?", chortled Lineker, who pockets the equivalent of 11,800 TV licence fees in BBC pay each year.
"I've had them knocking on the door."
A TV Licensing PR harlot said: "We've clearly scored a bit of an own goal here. We know Gary pays his TV licence and we apologise to him for this error."
A brief reminder that anyone who does not legally need a TV licence is under no legal obligation to communicate or cooperate with TV Licensing at all.
As Lineker's story yet again proves, trying to do assist TV Licensing is a totally futile waste of time.

And if Lineker had looked closely at his letters, he'd have seen: fake signatures, fake enforcement divisions, fake "visit approved" stamps, fake date stamps....
Not only fictional names, fictional info and misinformation on their ThreatOgrams, if you believe the carp on them you would need a TV licence to stream content you uploaded to your own YouTube Channel back to your own smart TV.
Something needs to be done about Crapita TVL and the BBC
This year could be a bad one for the BBC - they are likely to announce their intention to pick the pockets of the over 75's in order to satisfy their limitless greed for money. Might be a good time to contact an MP.
