no. and I have never spoken to them or replied to any mail, so they don't even have my name.

For the years since they have been issuing demands

Do you mean they can't come after me for the previous unpaid years?

Hi. I bought a second home 5 or 6 years ago with the intention of renting it out, or occasionally using it as a weekend home. Ii arranged a sky dish install and tv aerial at the time, but never installed a tv. Due to my wife extended illness, the house has sat unoccupied, although I maintain it and keep it secure and tidy. However, from about 6 months after buying the house (as a new build) I began getting demands for a tv licence. These were and have always been addressed to " The Occupier" I have since just been ignoring these and throwing them in the bin along with the mountain of junkmail I normally get at that address. We are now in a position to begin using the house, and as such would be installing a tv. I am happy therefore to pay my licence from now online. I fear though, that once I purchase the licence, and they have my name, they will come at me with a summons for non payment for the other years. Is this likely to be the case, or will records just update to show the property is now properly licensed (once I buy the annual licence)
