TV License people buzzing at the door

So I've had someone buzzing at my door a few days ago and when I answered they said they were from the TV license and said as my address isn't licensed they wanted to come upstairs to have a look (as I don't have a TV and I've told them).
I said they couldn't and ended the conversation.
Both yesterday and today someone buzzed at the door and I'm sure it was them (as the second time they left one of their famous letters). I haven't answered and they don't have my name.
I know communication with them is pointless and they'll never believe me, but when will they stop? It's quite annoying and I am always afraid I am missing deliveries if I don't answer the door.
GRRRRRRRR!! Advice?:mad:

I thought they had vans and portable boxes of tricks which told them if you were watching TV. :rotfl:0 -

I know right? Guy must have had a problem with his....or maybe he was lonely and hoped I'd offer him a tea or something?:TLondon Fashion Week tickets, Clinique Facial treatment set (I see it as a win :P) Mario Power Tennis Wii game, Aura by Swaroski perfume, Theatre Tickets to 'A woman alone' :T, £1000 with Kerrang's Scream4Cash, Links of London Wedding Themed Bracelet, Chipmunk O2 launch party tickets, Adidas All In gig tickets, Water For Elephants Double Bill tix0 -
LOL! :P :P I'd withdraw the right to access my property so I don't have to avoid answering the door everytime but do I have to do this by letter? Does anybody know if I can do it by email?London Fashion Week tickets, Clinique Facial treatment set (I see it as a win :P) Mario Power Tennis Wii game, Aura by Swaroski perfume, Theatre Tickets to 'A woman alone' :T, £1000 with Kerrang's Scream4Cash, Links of London Wedding Themed Bracelet, Chipmunk O2 launch party tickets, Adidas All In gig tickets, Water For Elephants Double Bill tix0

Answer the door, tell them to come back with a warrant, and that if they knock again without the warrant, you'll consider it harassment and take action against them.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
If you don't have a telly why bother avoiding the situation and just let them see for themselves.
They wont stop until you either buy one or prove you don't have a tv or anything that can pick up a tv signal.0 -
Interesting stuff...and makes me wonder why any of us pay a license fee?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Exactly like you said - you have to prove you don't have a TV and even if I let them in and they see there isn't one they might just think I've hidden it. It won't stop them coming back again in a while.
Also, I never let strangers in my house for any reason whatsoever, so I am not about to let them in either.London Fashion Week tickets, Clinique Facial treatment set (I see it as a win :P) Mario Power Tennis Wii game, Aura by Swaroski perfume, Theatre Tickets to 'A woman alone' :T, £1000 with Kerrang's Scream4Cash, Links of London Wedding Themed Bracelet, Chipmunk O2 launch party tickets, Adidas All In gig tickets, Water For Elephants Double Bill tix0 -

Ah well, you had better disconnect your doorbell then.0
