I’ve got a Tv licence

Redhouse11

Hi, I currently have an up to date tv licence paid for in quarterly instalments, I keep receiving a lot of letters from tv licensing to the present occupier in a variation of my address with a different road & the wrong postcode but actually incorrect as it doesn’t exist. I have spoken to  tv licensing on several occasions only to be told that I need to buy a licence, when I’ve explained I’ve already got a licence & supplied them with the number they say they will pass the information on and the letters will stop. However 2 years on & 7 phone calls later I still get the threatening letters off them. Is there anything I can do ?

Thank you

Is it your name on the letters. If not either send them back marked No longer at this addess' 
Or bin them.

Hi, thanks for the reply, no my names not on the letter, I tend to get 4-6 letters a month addressed to the present occupier.

As long as you have proof of yours , do as above....

Ok thank you

There has been a scam going around for a long time. 
It may be that. It was on TV just yesterday

Well the latest letters says “ an invoice has been raised against your address, pay immediately to stop further action being taken”

Your first mistake is opening them.

If you have a TV licence just bin them and move on with your life, they're junk mail.

Don't think Crapita (TVL) raise invoices ? They just threaten (and possibly proceed with) investigations and prosecution.
Smells like a S.C.A.M

Never had a genuine letter from TVL (and I've had a lot) that says anything like that, probably a scam. 

No matter, don't open them, don't respond to them, just return to sender

If it definitely says 'invoice" then I agree it probably isn't TVL but a scam.

But if you are assuming it is from a random code number starting IN,  then it is TVL - they do that.
