      Regarding this particular letter, I thought CJ may have picked up on the fact that the words, "Official notice: Investigation opened" appear in bold, red type in a window in the envelope, so all our postmen know about it too. I received one of these yesterday and mentioned it in the comments on CJ's earlier video today. This is a new low for Capita and we already know what a vile organisation it is.
      I wouldn't worry too much about an investigation changing from being at the final stages to being opened. This is just the usual Capita sloppiness (another of their endearing traits) and there is nothing we can do about that.

      Courts are Government departments. It wouldn't matter if you are in the right or not. You WILL be found to be in the wrong.
      It would take a rich person to make a stand and go in all guns blazing with legal experts outta the arse. And NO rich person is going to do that for two simple reasons.
      1) A rich person would have a TVL. £169 means nothing to them. It's about the same as they spend in car insurance and fuel for their expensive cars for an hour.
      2) Rich people don't rattle the cages of Government agencies that could make their lives very difficult. They keep their heads down.

      The BBC/TVL have been granted a legal exemption to contact households (its a legal requirement the Government make of BBC). They don't put the name on the letters that are questionable so it cant be legally classed as harassment. You can test this by taking the letters to your local police and see them be all over it until they see its the BBC - also notice the Black Belt Barrister never actually takes any action even though he dislikes it. Just cancel your direct debit and leave the BBC in the 1940's...

      Waste of time. The BBC/TVL have been granted a legal exemption to contact households (its a legal requirement the Government make of BBC). They don't put the name on the letters that are questionable so it cant be legally classed as harassment. You can test this by taking the letters to your local police and see them be all over it until they see its the BBC - also notice the Black Belt Barrister never actually takes any action even though he dislikes it. Just cancel your direct debit and leave the BBC in the 1940's...

      Because the government takes a partial amount from the licence fee as a tax, which is why they want the licence fee to be paid through council tax. Its entertainment tax that they were never open about, they would tax you for the air you breathe if they could find a way to do it.

    I think they get away with it not being harassment because they address the letters to the occupier, that way it's not aimed at anyone in particular, if they did keep sending those letters addressing the actual person, it very much could be seen as harassment and intimidation.

      You were probably due a refund but perhaps they are also happy that they can now link your name to your address on their database. Declaring no licence needed is a mistake and makes a visit more likely than if you don't.
      Regarding this particular letter, I thought CJ may have picked up on the fact that the words, "Official notice: Investigation opened" appear in bold, red type in a window in the envelope, so all our postmen know about it too. I received one of these yesterday and mentioned it in the comments on CJ's earlier video today. This is a new low for Capita and we already know what a vile organisation it is.
      I wouldn't worry too much about an investigation changing from being at the final stages to being opened. This is just the usual Capita sloppiness (another of their endearing traits) and there is nothing we can do about that.
