TO: All agents acting for and behalf of: TV Licensing, Bristol BS98 1TL Capita plc, 71 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0XA
Dear Sir or Madam,
WARNING: YOUR IMPLIED RIGHT OF ACCESS TO THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN REMOVED
We are writing to inform you that we have removed your Implied Right of Access to the above property. If we find that you, or any other representative of the companies named above, have entered onto this property without our prior written permission, you will have committed a criminal offence of Aggravated Trespass and we can take your statement under caution in accordance with Sections 68 and 69 of theCriminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.
We are taking this step because:
According to our records, we have informed you on several occasions via telephone, Internet and in person, that the Communications Act 2003 does not require us to purchase a TV Licence at the present time. Under Section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, it is a criminal offence of harassmentto make demands for money in such a manner that it causes alarm, distress or intimidation. This is the case no matter what method you use to make contact whether by telephone, email, letter or in person. Punishment on conviction is six months imprisonment and/or a level 5 fine of up to 5,000, plus legal costs. We have tried to contact you about this but have received no reply. The removal of your Implied Right of Access is the first step in our action to seek prosecution. Please be aware that should you or any other representative of your company set foot on the above property at any time, your statement can be used as evidence, along with any video and audio evidence obtained.
Aggravated Trespass is a summary offence that is heard in the magistrates courts and carries a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment. A charge of conspiracy to commit aggravated trespassalso carries a maximum six-month sentence, but it is an indictable offence, which means the case will be heard in front of a jury in the crown courts. We take this offence extremely seriously and have successfully prosecuted others for this same offence in the past.
We strongly advise that you act now to stop representatives of your company from entering onto the above property, as failure to do so may result in a criminal prosecution against your company and the individuals involved. You can avoid this easily by updating your records to show that a TV Licence is not required at the above address, and kindly informing your staff that they will be subject to criminal prosecution if they intrude onto the above property.
