Dear Sir or Madam,
1) Please confirm or deny that members of the public, may legally
and rightfully serve you (or any of your contractors*) with an
effective notice of "Withdrawal of Implied Right of Access" to
their homes.
2) Furthermore please confirm or deny and that this notice, once
served, denies you (or any of your contractors*) the ability to
send "enforcement officers" to their door.
3) Furthermore, please also confirm or deny that this notice, once
served, also prevents you (or any of your contractors*) by law from
harassing the notice server with your continual demands to
subscribe to your services by mail or letter.
4) Furthermore, please confirm or deny that a legal occupier who
has been sent spurious demands for payment of a TV License fee is
NOT required by law to submit their name to you (or any of your
contractors*) in order to serve a notice of "Withdrawal of Implied
Right of Access" upon you.
5) Should you deny item 4, please quote and indicate the relevant
law or statute which stipulates that a legal occupier is required
to submit their name to your organisation (or any of your
contractors*) in order to serve you (or any of your contractors*)
with a notice of "Withdrawal of Implied Right of Access".
* By "any of your contractors" note that I include the BBC, TV
Licensing, Capita plc or any other organisation involved with the
collection and oversight of the TV licensing system.
Yours faithfully,
An extremely disgruntled TV abstainer
