I've filled out the no-license-needed form [1] for five different homes, every time the letters have stopped and I've never been visited by anyone.

If what you want is the letters to stop, IME filling out the form will prove more effective than strict non-communication.

They only stop for 2 years and then you have to fill in the form again like a good little boy. That's not the end of the world. The BBC says jump we say how high — fine. But the presumption of criminality (you have read the letters they send, right?) and the fact that you have to proactively contact an organisation on a regular basis to make an agreement with them that you DON'T want to be a customer of theirs, just to avoid being harrased and accused on a monthly basis, is absurd.
