Doesn't surprise me that they go for the poorer folk than they do the richer.
Richer can cough it up easily. I've met plenty that have struggled with even basics like heating, food, water etc.
Then again, like others have said. I've proven I don't have a tv & doubtfully ever will, just no interest in them.
Yet I showed them & not long after threats of "court action on nth date" & "investigation started" have been stuck through in unmarked envelopes, so I opened not realising it was just more crap.
It isn't just junk mail once in a while, it is harassment, plain & simple.
As someone mentioned earlier, they will just nosey through your windows, door etc (good luck, I'm not on ground floor) & one youtube clip, some chav is recording tvl bloke sat in his car, calling him a pervert, because he'd been taking photos into his 9 year old kids bedroom (guessing tv/console/computer was in there? /shrugs).
No idea why he didn't just call police though, I would have gone mental.
Another thing.
Beeb aren't exactly impartial (or even close hehe).
That Ken Loach film, beeb mentioned all sorts of other stuff & not one word about that by all accounts.
