I lived in the house 5 years and never received one, only showed up about a week after I ordered a new TV on Amazon and IIRC specifically mentioned the purchase. Funnily enough I had actually been paying a licence for those 5 years but for the address I moved out of, cancelled it after that and never paid since. The fact the BBC pretends to be a kind of official legal authority under a different brand and actually sends bayliff style thugs around to juicier targets like shared student housing is disgusting, I'll never pay again.
