I believe the 40 reference is for those who declared they don't need a licence once the person doesn't renew the NLR declaration they give the reference as a different number possibly starting 66. It's getting increasingly difficult for the goons to get a warrant as they need evidence that the person is watching live as shown TV or using the iPlayer as a catch up service, if you say nothing then any investigation stops on the spot. A friend had a goon visit about 6 years ago and he said that he had seen him watching TV through his window so he invited him in, he shouldn't have done, but he just wanted to prove he wasn't watching live as shown TV. He asked my friend to press one on the remote so he did and the screen went blank so the goon asked for the remote and went into the settings and updated the live TV, or so he thought he was, but after the update it said no channels please plug in the aerial and he told the goon the aerial wasn't connected then showed him that the place to connect an aerial had a blanking plat over it. The goon left but tried to get him to sign a for to say he had called he declined saying he wasn't going to be stitched up by signing the 178 form.
I would suggest that if the capita salesman, who have ZERO POWER, are at your door, record everything, on your phone or, CCTV as it's not past these Capita scumbags who will " FIT YOU UP " and try to get a warent anyway. Always keep evidence, cctv, with voice recording as to what has been said and done.

My camera is standing by. Still getting bombarded by threatograms. It's getting bored...
Had many just empty threats, even if they do call, just say no thanks and shut the door lol 😅
That first letter you showed is a follow up to a previous ''No licence needed'' declaration at the address.
Never had a TV licence and never will
ignore the letter and if they come to ya door say no thank you and shut ya door
Long live the peaceful revolution.
