NOTICE
Dear Paul,
Your company gives the impression of being incredibly disorganised. Each letter received is from a different
person, each appearing not to have bothered to read the previous correspondence. In this case, it appears that
you have not read my letter to Carl Shimeild, dated 27th February 2011.
As “Mister” is not part of my name, I would appreciate it if you would address me by my name which is Patrick (or
more fully, Patrick-James of the Kelly family). There is no “Mr P. Kelly” living at XXXXXXX, Red Lodge, Suffolk,
nor has there ever been.
You state in your letter, which I return herewith, that “we have already let you know that … it is illegal to watch or
record television programmes at this address …”. That is not actually the case as you previously stated that it
was “against the law” to do so. You are quite correct in saying that it is “illegal”, not that it has the slightest
relevance to me as I am not a member of the society which is bound by those regulations, nor do I consent to be
bound by them.
You later state that actions will be “… in accordance with the relevant criminal law …” drawing attention to the fact
that you don’t know the difference between the “law” and the “legal system” which for someone in your position
constitutes Gross Negligence which is considered to equate to fraud. There is no law which requires anyone to
request or pay for a licence of any kind and for you to allege that there is, also constitutes a fraudulent action.
You go on to say “you have not replied to any of our letters” which is completely untrue and again shows that you
have not bothered to check on the relevant facts. This is my sixth letter to your company and you should have
checked your correspondence file under your reference 504794.
In your letter you ask me to let you know if I do not need a TV licence. Let me again inform you formally, that I do
not need a TV licence and so you should amend your records accordingly.
I also request that you stop demanding that I pay you for a TV licence and that you cease making the false
statement that the law requires the obtaining of a licence in order to watch television programmes, as that is most
definitely not the case and your stating that it is, is an offence.
You state in your letter that you are intending to send staff members to my home address. You do not have my
permission to do so and any such visit will be deemed to be harassment as it has no reasonable basis.
Sincerely and without ill will, vexation or frivolity,
Patrick-James of the Kelly family

I was expecting this one to go to court, but surprisingly, I then received this:
