      If you tell them you don’t need a license they stop sending letters. I’ve never had this problem and I’ve not had a TV license at any time since I became an adult. I’ve only had to let them know when I’ve moved. No spam mail in ~15 years.

      The OCR thing is simply there because it’s there from another stream of letters and the same template has been used.

      I’m always tickled pink working in local governance to see how certain procedures and policies simply continue because someone said ‘let’s do it this way’ and its stuck. Everyone is too busy dealing with the next thing, that the ‘it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ mantra prevails.
