What they probably meant is they didn't bother to inform them they didn't 
have a TV, and kept receiving the reminder letters to pay.  Either way they 
are going to come and check your house at some point (they have a list of 
households with no valid TV license).

And I don't know about your ISP, but mine keeps a log of who had what IP. 
No idea if the TV licensing people are allowed to get this information or 
not.  If not they have other ways to check if you're watching live TV (like 
correlating the small lighting changes visible from your windows at night 
with the broadcast signal - yes they do that).
