    So it is Capita that does the door knocking so who is contracted to send the letters ?
    I assume its Capita as well or they sub that out .

    "Capita plc ('Capita') today announces it has secured a five-year contract extension to continue to administer the TV licence fee in the UK. The contract renewal, worth £456m, builds upon the current contractual framework and will run from July 2022 to June 2027"

    Hopefully the TV Licence is going to be incorporated into general taxation.     I don't actually need a TV Licence but because of my job I cannot ever risk having a criminal record so I have to buy one.   Can't take the risk.
    I don't think - I don't watch live TV and certainly don't want to pay for that rubbish via my taxes.
    The rest of Europe watch it free of charge via Astra 28.2°E; Brits are the fools who actually pay for it.
