I have a TV without a TV licence, but here is how not joined up the TV licence IT department is.

I sent away to get a refund for my TV licence as I only had it part of the year, I filled in the form as to why I no longer require a TV licence. The TV Licence people agreed and sent me my refund.

Next week I start getting the threatning letters that I have no TV licence... I've been getting these threatning letters ever since at the start of every month. Idiots.

It's not because they're not joined up. It's a deliberate policy to write to every household in the entire country which doesn't have a licence (for whatever reason - this includes empty houses, for example) like this. There's no point in responding to them because they won't stop writing to you.

It must waste a huge amount of money.
