TV license harassment

Don't know if this is in the right place but I think it is.
Anyway we don't have a TV licence. We don't need one as although we have a TV the only things we do are play video games, watch DVDs or Blue-rays, watch Netflix and Crunchyroll (both don't require a license).
Our TV has for some strange reason never been able to gain picture of the channels on it's inbuilt free view and it's never bothered us so we never worked out the problem. We did have a freeview box at one point but that broke. We used to have sky TV but we didn't feel it was value for money so before our last TV licence expired we got rid of the sky TV (cancelled in February). As I stated we now use Netflix and Crunchyroll which are more suited to us and value for money.
I'm really angry that to these TV license people you are guilty just for not having a licence. They have bombarded us with letters warning about fines etc and today came to our home. I shut the door on them; I'm disabled and my husband was not here and the guy was intimidating in my opinion so yes I shut the door on them. Nothing entitles them to do this, it is harassment on their part. After years of paying for a TV licence the reason we don't have one is we do not need one. Why is it so hard for them to grasp?
We did this to save money and all it is doing is causing stress due to, what seems like, a guilty unless you physically prove otherwise system. :mad:
