License Fee threatening a home visit - should I be worried

[summergal250]

So I stupidly ignored the license fee letters, sending them back unopened marked with 'RTS - I don't watch TV' (which is true).

The other day I then received a red envelope - inside is a letter from the TV licensing people stating that they have started an investigation and may be visiting. Reading the letter I realised there's a website you can go to to say you don't watch TV, so I've put my details on that, but not sure what's going to happen now.

By a visit, do they mean someone actually coming to my house? In my old student days they used to drive around student areas with a van fixed with an antenna/satellite hoping to nab some none-payers.

There is actually a TV in the house, however it was gift and I never use it. I also don't watch BBC on my laptop either.

Yes the "entertainment" of responding to their stupid letters almost takes the place of a tv. I think we didn't have one for about 7 years. But after about 6 months my partner got bored with replying to them with ever more ridiculous made up names and we just started binning the letters. Nothing happened.
They can't do a thing, you don't have to let them in if they do show up and unless something's changed you're not even obliged to tell them you aren't watching TV, iplayer etc and don't need a licence. We do have a tv and licence now; I almost miss the letters.

@Nixer "and unless something's changed you're not even obliged to tell them you aren't watching TV, iplayer etc and don't need a licence."

Nothing has changed.

It's still as stated in this document.
